"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

The current Administration is devoid of any reasonable level of decision making. Stupid is as stupid does.

Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.

The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.

Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Good point. Take good news wherever you can find it.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Absolutely. The Pentagon is full of career professionals who are more than qualified to handle the current shitshow.

The problem is that the political appointees largely aren’t listening to them right now.

It’s elevated for sure, and the administration is keeping it quiet on purpose.

Someone asked me if I was concerned about the No Kings protests coming up.

I would be lying if I didn’t say yes, but I also think that it’s vitally important that we still show up.

Disgusting. Anybody surprised ? Yes, frankly. Does he have no advisors or personal common sense/dignity.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted.

DOJ confirmed that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed.

That’s ANOTHER 47,635 reasons why we need ACCOUNTABILITY!

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

They don’t care if Russia is helping Iran because this is all to distract from Epstein.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Trump says "no way". It only costs $44.6 million per hour. Can't make this stuff up.
