Our taxes

Our taxes

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

COLLINS: I mean, the president actually ran on not going to war Iran

SHEEHY: So, every single policy decision the president makes has to be the centerpiece of a campaign speech?

COLLINS: I think if you say you're not going to do something, and then you do it ...

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

pardon my ignorance but has Trump even laid out why he decided to light the Middle East on fire when Iran posed no imminent threat to America?

I thought his whole thing was โ€œAmerica firstโ€ or whatever?

Weโ€™ve now got dead service members and nobody knows why?

The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

I actually am unhinged enough to think itโ€™s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. Itโ€™s not as if lost lives matter to him.

Short of just walking up and putting him in handcuffs - WORDS WILL NOT STOP THE #EpsteinWars #StepDaddyBibi NEEDS LEVELED- that is the only way to take his hand off of Lady Libertyโ€™s throat. America has been compromised.
