We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons.

America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

Congress? You awake?

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

Wtf. They want women to be r***d because they want us all to breed. They don't care how it happens. They want women to be incubators and men to dominate us. Disgusting.

Yup @newyorker.com

They still are. That's just mindblowing.

Everything he does tanks the economy. So, even if we had the things we need, we wouldn't be able to get them anywhere without trucks (and ships and properly run ports, etc). Sooooo many jobs lost every day. So many businesses downsizing or closing. So much more food insecurity. And on and on.

Oh, wow. That is not good.

The new reports are clear: GOP plans to gut Medicaid would devastate Arizona.

- Health care coverage stripped from 2 million Arizonans
- 36,000+ jobs lost
- $3.7 billion blow to our economy

All to give billionaires a tax break.

Thought crime, speech crime, compassion is dead, integrity is dead, democracy is dead. The bell just tolled, the nail hammered, we are done as a country.

It's official. Free speech is dead. We can no longer speak without possibly being arrested and disappeared. Citizen or not. Born here or not. Thought crime, speech crime, compassion is dead, integrity is dead, democracy is dead. The bell just tolled, the nail hammered, we are done as a country.

How the hell do these creatures let lies flow so freely from their filthy gaping maws?!?!

I have friends who are on the spectrum and several friends with autistic children - from grammar school age to their 30's, from high functioning to totally nonverbal. I don't see how the government can be so callous and wicked about so many precious human beings.
