Because they thought it wasn’t a proper political topic, unlike the right which only does politics and never right or legal.

And 220 highly armed Red-hatted Texans, known locally as the Good Guys, pulled there 45’s and stopped him before he got a second shot off. In Red States we don’t allow bad guys to commit crimes.

Our armed forces attacked another country and our President fucked kids and we are great? Where the fuck did you grow up?

Yes. We know know Trump fucks kids and we mention it everywhere but the dinner table, where we say he sometimes is naughty and inappropriate with minors.

I was asked today, “How does it feel to be nuetered?” I really don’t know. I can’t find anyone to ask. Google gave me a long AI explanation of the history of word origins, and Pornhub gave me… well, you know.

As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.

But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

How about we just have a global wave of regime changes. No exceptions. NO exceptions.

If and when a rational regime replaces the Trumpocracy, some priorities should be:

-bringing the neo-Hitlerians to justice
-prosecuting platforms that intentionally stoke division using misinformation
-breaking up media conglomerates

Sending RFK Jr. to Iran to shake hands with diplomats with his shriveled, bacteria-stained hands would probably have saved a lot of money on bombs.

Bombing Iran and starting a war to distract from the released Epstein files. Just imagine the content of that which the DOJ is illegally withholding from the public and has not been released. What kind of distraction does that necessitate?

Beyond frightening.

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Vladimir Putin sent condolences to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family, calling it a "cynical murder."
