The failure to even *try* to justify the attack on Iran with any seriousness at all—even to Congress!—is as clear a sign as you could possibly ask for of a regime that does not recognize the legitimacy of democracy or any constraints on its use of power. The autocrat acts & we spectate, in silence.

the thing about people like glenn greenwald saying that trump broke his promise to them is that you have to be the absolute stupidest motherfucker on the planet to believe that donald trump, violent racist bully, is a man dedicated to peace. 1

This seems like an accidental revelation. I don't recall Trump saying before that this was always intended to take weeks. Am I missing something?

Absolutely incredible. Weeks of war without any vote in Congress. And the current regime may largely be left in place. This isn't just a war of choice. It's a vanity war. If this is allowed to stand, our country is in real trouble.

the plan, such as it is, appears to be “bomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victory”

this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it “works”

Trump is already bored with all this “what comes next” egghead strategy talk and looking for a way to move on.

The posts I saw definitely did not appear to be a match for the people I follow!

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

Trump's entire approach is that of a bully. He only picks out opponents he thinks are weaker, and stays well clear of anyone he thinks can punch back. He is, fundamentally, a coward.

The thing about kicking off an operation with a decapitation strike is that you preclude any ability to negotiate and off-ramp. Coercion theory is out the window when you create a leadership vacuum in one of the parties.

The Art of the Deal

US foreign policy as a Make-A-Wish Foundation for Bibi Netanyahu.

Several bigger accounts I follow seem to be following this person! 😬

'no, you see they like his populism and his protesting and his actions not his anti-semitism' yeah but they're fine with the anti-semitism if they pick him. they have decided that anti-semitism is acceptable.

I get tired of American voters being pure innocents who can never be judged for their shitty, shitty choices.

It’s a lot of things, but let’s take a moment to appreciate how absolutely ridiculous this entire Trump era is

What could I do?! Our war fighters are just soooo lethal now!

Just made mistake of responding to a follower who said they’d “roll the dice” on Platner despite his ever-growing Nazi file. Pointless, so I deleted & blocked. If you’ve admit the problem but say it’s not a deal breaker, we’re not having a “debate” any more than I would with Stephen Miller.

I think it’s in the contract, actually

killed by him!!!

I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)

What kind of dog-ate-my paper bullshit is this ridiculous fraud trying to pull now?

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

yeah but the alternative is a little old so imma performatively say i have to hold my nose and support the nazi guy because of how deeply i care

😳😳😳

“He’s an impressive person, kind of a [former Sen. Joe] Manchin, [Sen. John] Fetterman type, in that kind of category,” Monahan said, referring to Democrats from West Virginia and Pennsylvania who tacked to the center and frequently butted heads with the party’s base.”

Trump breaks silence on US troops killed in Iran war President Donald Trump broke his silence Sunday on the first US casualties of the Iran war in an exclusive phone interview with the Daily Mail.

“Trump said he'd ‘maybe’ travel out to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the solemn dignified transfer of the troops’ remains or invite the families to the White House.”

(Not sure why he is doing an interview with the Daily Mail when he hasn’t addressed the American people live yet.)

War! War! It’s the Department of War! Don’t be so afraid to say war, you beta cucks!

Is this a war?

No.

Joe Biden was absolutely pilloried when he said this...but about oil prices, not about service members dying.
