Let's all deal with facts, shall we? Iran has been a bad actor for a while, no doubt. But really: how many Americans HAVE they killed? And recently? And I'd like to remind you, neighbors, that tRump said that the previous military strikes that he ordered on Iran had "obliterated" the threat.πŸ‘‡

Yet another in a series of real-life, actual constitutional crises. This man is the worst president in our nation's history. An absolute disaster of a president.

The archivist preserving decaying floppy disks It's a race against time (and magnetic decay) to preserve decades of cultural history stored on obsolete hardware.

Awesome. Maybe she can dig up my Senior High School term paper.

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"We have at last found a global villain who matches the bugbear β€” an ill-informed violent despot who seems to enjoy carnage for its own sake, & who has the power & will to project terror & violence anywhere on earth for any reason or none.

That global villain is, of course, President Donald Trump."

This is the latest coffee chain to join the Starbucks/Dunkin' fray across America. I haven't seen a Pete's or a Caribou in a while, but I've noticed these popping up in x-urban and mid-sized towns around the Midwest.

Pretty sure this πŸ‘‡ rich white dude voted for tRump. Ignore the war if you have no soul, no brain, and no morals. But, yeah, hope you make a bunch of money motherf*cker. πŸ–•

There was no substantial change in the situation in Iran that necessitated a sudden attack from the U.S. What precipitated this attack by the U.S. were bad polling numbers for tRump and the republicans heading into the midterms. That's it. 🀑

This kind of talk is for losers. For people who are afraid. If this actually resonates with you, get the hell out of your house and go meet some real people out there. You have nothing to fear. Your dignity and humanity will not be diminished by recognizing the dignity and humanity of other people.

U.S. service members have lost their lives. Innocent citizens have lost their lives. This was an illegal and unconstitutional military action with no Congressional approval. Yeah, the Iranian regime was/is evil. That's not the point. Impeach tRump now and remove him. This is only going to get worse.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

tRump has no realistic plans for Iran. He has no realistic plans for Venezuela. He has no realistic plans for Gaza. He has no realistic plans for Ukraine. He has no realistic plans for anything except staying in power in the United States well past 2028. The attack on Iran is part of that plan. πŸ‘‡

The real reason for Trump's Iran bombing Trump is nothing if not self-interested. His attack against Iran helps him and his party more than meets the eye.

"Trump doesn’t care about election interference. So why would he invoke Iran meddling in our election as he bombs the country? Put simply, he is trying to validate the claim that our elections are not secure as a pretext to usurp control of our elections in the name of national security.”

Whatever the outcome (and believe me, neighbors, we are FAR from knowing how this will turn out), this was illegal. the president cannot start a war without Congressional approval. This was illegal and unconstitutional. Period.

Haha, the fact that this fat sack of sh*t even mentions that tells you that they're having big doubts or big problems about reinstating 'tariffs' via another means or via another name and having the same impact. And the impact is important: it forces countries and business to bribe tRump personally🀑

Yes, well he has earned that. And it is unfortunate. But we cannot fight hypocrisy by embracing hypocrisy. We cannot fight lies by embracing lies. I'm ready to move on. Let's go restore our d*mn country. ✊
