As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

How is ANYONE still treating Trump like he’s a normal person much less politician. Why did he do it? He’s a demented monster. This is settled law

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Top: Pete Hegseth — suit snug, hair oiled, buzz on — signing a missile on Arsenal of Freedom tour. The sign is half cut off, though, so it reads The ARSE of FRE Bottom: the surface of the missile, which reads “Maybe it's the beer talking, Marge, but you've got a butt that won't quit. They've got these big, chewy pretzels here... meddanrtargym... five dollars?! Get outta here!”

if you expect a quick end to the iranian regime just because its leadership was decapitated you may be disappointed. like imagine if the situation were reversed and america's supreme leader and defense secretary had been killed. that's right, go ahead, imagine it. think about it all day if you like.

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Incompatible with a functional society.

This needs to be illegal

me every single day

The Washington Post sacked all of its Middle East correspondents a couple of weeks ago. Useful.

that they did this on a busy morning when people were out a work, at school, in gyms, and in stores speaks volumes about how much they care about lives not their own. how many people have they killed in the last six months alone? absolutely barbaric

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.

TRUMP: We’re touching the stove, folks. We’re touching it like never before. They’re saying the stove is too “hot” but we don’t believe them do we

DIPSHIT BOAT OWNER IN CROWD (BARELY AUDIBLE): Hell no!

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

Manga Vineland Saga page with two panels of a father holding his son then a close up of his hand bleeding. The speech bubbles read you have no enemies no on jn the world is your enemy. There is no one you need to hurt.

The truth is we don’t need to fight anyone ever. Its the deepest truth.

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID.

It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

This would be the craziest possible moment for it to happen

Men will start a war in the Middle East instead of going to Hell.

Peaky Blinders no posting that you can go to jail over no fucking posting that you can go to jail over

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

has anyone in the government even bothered to tell anyone what reason we are pretending to rely on here this time? not even a fig leaf anymore. just spree killings. mass murderer shit

Senator Mullin that guy died in 1989
