It's easy for armchair critics to condemn the Iraq War. But you have to remember what things were like back in 2003. People actually trusted the government and had faith in the idea of America, Trust and faith aren't very sturdy things to build a perpetual war machine on, and they don’t make alot of money, either. The Iraq War eroded faith in the government and drove more Americans into suspicion and hatred, just as we hoped it would. Combine that with rising inequality and the American cult of the individual, and you have a perfect recipe for ensuring that most Americans are too disillusioned to mount collective resistance to any governmental transgressions. That's what I always hoped the Iraq War might accomplish, and man, it fels good to be right.

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: is.gd/mzdB9j

This 👇 is why the government is shut down and why the Speaker won't swear in AZ representative elected 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for including me, Amy. Always appreciated. 🙏🚀♻️💪🌊👍😃

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest Let's all start wearing paper clips. During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis. Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together. Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy. Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social
wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

It would be a shame if this went viral.

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
 
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.

We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

America has a CHILD in the White House.

Feel free to criticize @realDonaldTrump at any time, as he sure loves attention..........

Stop "seething" and do something besides strongly worded letters and hearings that lead to zero changes.

Gun violence in America is a weapons of mass No one's death by violence is more important than anyone else's!

House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, her husband, & their dog were murdered in June. That story died quickly in the MSM. Flags were not ordered at half mast.
I guess our POTUS and the media see a MAGA influencer as more important.
I’m so sad for our country.

They all lie. Barrett, Cavanaugh, RFK Jr.,
Roberts,and so many others because there's no accountability after the fact.

I'm sure either RFK Jr. or a close friend will profit from whatever treatment will be needed after someone contracts covid. Minimal profit in prevention.
