So far we’ve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

How could anyone buy that this is defensive. We attacked them first. Good grief

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Orwell at his very best could never come up with some of this. Proactively in a defensive way is basically a line from a coen bros film.

HAYES: The US is choosing the date of engagement. We decided when we launched

GALLEGO: We actually don't know that. It seems like we may have actually launched at time that was pushed by Israel, because if there was proper planning you would've hardened these positions

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

If this war is retribution for all the years of Iranian aggression against America, why were we even at the negotiating table with them?

It’s a different spin every day.

Obama set a red line in response to a question in a debate

Obama went to Congress - they didn't agree with that red line

So that wasn't walking away that was following the constitution

But Fox said it was a failure and no one else every challenged that with facts

Watching the footage of 2012 Trump condemning Obama's non-invasion of Iran is another reminder of how far the President's verbal acuity has declined.

Trump has always been very ignorant but he used to be reasonably articulate. Not any more.

Newsom: We’ve got to deal with the bullshit from the other side β€” the propaganda networks, the 24/7 swift-boating the likes of which we’ve never seen aided by billionaires who are consolidating the media, aided and abetted by people bending down on their knees to suck up to this administration β€”

Articles of impeachment need to be dropped before noon today. If this doesn’t happen, then there is nothing this cult Congress won’t allow him to do. He can commit any crime with impunity. We don’t even have a country anymore. We are a rogue state.

Whatever one thinks about Iran's government, and I personally don't see how anyone thinks it's good, we have/had no right to do this.

Contracts worth $144 million dollars have been uncovered, to arm ICE with military style weapons, all this to arrest, kill and deport unarmed American citizens, and immigrants? Seems like over kill to me?

@afd-schwaben.bsky.social / @afd-bayern.bsky.social is and has always been a Kremlin paid puppet and branch.

It's painfully obvious to me that a whole lot of people who are telling us the elections can't be interfered with are totally clueless concerning what has been done in several important states that will allow them to do just that.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

Constitutional and Congressional limits on the President’s war-making and foreign policy powers have become much like international law: there exists a body of law that clearly says the President’s actions are unlawful, but the failure to enforce those laws over decades has rendered them a nullity

Still, nobody on the right will care about the contradiction. They will only care how it effects their bank account. And it will.

Trump wants Texas to vote for Don Huffines as comptroller of Texas, calls him a β€œgreat guy, patriot…”

Huffines bought Epstein’s New Mexico ranch β€œZorro β€œ in 1993 (under a shell company San Rafael LLC) and had it WHILE Epstein used it for child rape and sex trafficking!

Depose Trump/Huffines!

This is why I used to drill students on the difference between β€œpreemptive” and β€œpreventive” attack. Unless Israel had intelligence that an attack from Iran was imminent, this was not a preemptive attack.
