Sad, But True........

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.

Fuck him!

To be clear, drunkard rapist Fox Propagandist Pete Hegseth isn’t a General or a Commander or anyone militarily distinguished or experienced, he’s a trashy vulgar war criminal murderer who was appointed by a known draft dodging coward. He and his boss should be in a jail cell.

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Although Donald Trump was quick to go to war, no member of the Trump Family has ever served in the military. The only Trump that ever wore a uniform was his father Fred Trump who wore a pointed KKK hat and gown when he was arrested at a KKK rally in Queens ,NY in 1927

He's not perfect, but he will:

❌ Release the Epstein files
❌ Champion capitalism & private property
❌ Keep taxes low
❌ Appoint qualified cabinet members
❌ End the surveillance state
❌ End regime change wars

Seriously MAGA, which promises are you still clinging to?

MAGA called me pro-war for saying we should give Ukraine weapons to help them defend their sovereignty.

This morning, they're cheering as America bombs Iran.

They stand for nothing.

Nothing whatsoever.

So, Republican Benghazi.

Got it.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

🤦🏼‍♀️

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.
