Dem leadership is horrible. Get rid of them and elect some real fighters!

Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The war was Bibi and MBS' idea.

I'm getting ready to go see them at a local Indian casino here in the South Puget Sound at the end of next month. Looking forward to it -- I was in high school when this was released. :-)

6/9. Trump and allies rewarded the Iranians and the Russians and the Chinese by punishing the US researchers who discovered all this and abolishing the agencies that tracked it.

Not to take away from it but the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was an 85 year old man with health problems at the end of his lifespan. The contingency for his death was already written out and being implemented while he was alive.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Military bases have schools and daycares. It’s still illegal to kill the children and civilians inside them.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

Trump’s war affects Americans throughout the world.

I feel this woman’s frustration, and she’s handling it a lot calmer than I would. She’s from Chicago and currently stuck in Dubai. I’m worried about our brothers and sisters stuck in the Middle East, and I pray she makes it home safe and sound. 🙏🏽

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said."

MBS is as predictable as Bret Stephens.

Apparently Iran started it with their revolution in 1979. Now by attacking them, we are ending that war. bsky.app/profile/cram...
