House Republicans: PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ENDING THE FOREVER WAR THAT IRAN HAS WAGED AGAINST AMERICA FOR THE LAST 47 YEARS

Thank you to the president for ending a war by starting a war. Very few have tried this One Weird Trick.

WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios" www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

That's completely fair. I agree that winning is more important. I just feel that Derrick deserves more recognition for his defense, so I may be biased there

Ending nine wars [lowers sunglasses to look you dead in the eye] and starting ten new ones.

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

They are crafting these verbose statements when all they have to say is “No war, this is dumb and bad and must stop immediately” and it would be infinitely more popular with everyone except journalists.

A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.

If Texas flips after a 20-plus year stretch.......

Something Is Happening

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

she’s such a willing propagandist it’s disgusting

If Derrick doesn't make all-defense this year, I will be even more befuddled than I was last season

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Schumer and Jeffries support the war. Anyone who supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza will of course support going to war with them against Iran. They just want to be in on it.

The only way this will ever change is a complete rebuilding of the ostensibly left party.

Hey I’ve heard this song before

There's a lot missing in this statement.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

I guess time to reshare this piece from fucking June about striking Iran

Wait, the recipient of the prestigious FIFA Peace Prize did what?

How about Articles of Impeachment, Jake?

Operation Epstein Fury

Democrats SHOULD be drawing up articles of impeachment right now. It won’t happen immediately but could certainly fire up voters with a promise that it will happen immediately if Dems take power (they won’t do this because they’re feckless cowards)

They believe in KD, Kyrie, and Harden
