Take no prisoners.

Daily Beast: Rather than answer questions about his war, Trump directed reporters to two new statues in the hideous Rose Garden. The WH and Trump’s chosen reporters gushed over Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, only it was Alexander Hamilton, not Jefferson. Bumbling idiots.

Anybody who expects "rules" to be followed in a war is a fool. Yes, there are rules of "civilized" warfare, but if you depend on the enemy adhering to them you have already lost. Iran will now do whatever it can to defend itself, and we have nobody else to blame.

Donald Trump’s license to kill We must reject White House lawbreaking in Iran, on the high seas, and in U.S. cities

For our nation's survival, we must stop a president who thinks he has a license to kill.

Trump let Israel's Netanyahu, not the U.S. Congress, decide whether our country went to war.

Can somebody please just unplug his bipap machine? It's not helping him.

We all know - There are videos of Trump raping and harming little girls, and he would start nuclear war if needed to prevent that from being seen.

Ukraine already taught us that lesson, some folks slept through class.

Oh I know! Since these bastards are not that original…this is a Special Military Operation! And in SMOs nobody dies! Chiefly , no declaration of war…it is totally, and I mean this, cross my heart, completely legal and constitutional…sarcasm

WTAF

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!

He has opened the gates of Hell. Why? So we never see the films of him raping and harming little girls.

Orwell would have understood this completely.

The world wants to ban children from social media, but there will be grave consequences for us all | Taylor Lorenz Age-verification systems require collecting sensitive data to support the biometric information. In no time, the internet will become a fully surveilled digital panopticon, says technology journalist ...

“All lawmakers will claim that they are [enacting age verification] to protect youth from some harm, but they fail to mention the convenient power it hands to government to control and chill speech they oppose, and even punish their critics.”

Nope, that was not minor

⚠️ Significant:

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

DHS opposed war with Iran. Trump ignored those concerns. Now America is in danger. In his first term, the president had his sights set on Iran, even though DHS officials warned that we needed more preparation. Trump has gone forward with a reckless war anyway.

Was that said somewhere?

I can’t say I wish them luck.

My whole group had it. Laid me out for a week and still not recovered.

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

Trump needs to be eliminated before they will accept peace, I believe. And perhaps not then.

Does it have good fire insurance?
