So now we go to war because of this demented man's "feelings"?

Six Americans are already dead, and 800+ overall, because of his fucking *feelings*?

We learned today that Israel BOMBED the building it THOUGHT was the site of Iranian leaders choosing a new Ayatollah today.

So the NYT should be very clear on Trump and Netanyahu wanting ABSOLUTE CHAOS in Iran, not someone they can negotiate with.

Do better, NYT. Please, finally, do better.

The GOP is willing to give a mentally incapacitated serial rapist who’s also an insurrectionist, convicted felon, pathological liar, open racist and Islamophobe and twice-impeached incompetent loser a blank check to kill our troops for Israel but wouldn’t let a Black man wear a tan suit in the Oval

I used to be a radio DJ specializing in US/UK music from the Long Sixties (1963-1972), particularly psychedelia. I’ve also been a collector of such music since last century, with 1,000+ albums. On RETRO, my Substack, I’ve been running a 60s-music series for years now. This song was released in 1969.

I wish there were a mechanism for soldiers' families to tell America how much they don't want their loved ones to die for this BS. I recognize there really isn'tβ€”as those families would be worried about downstream effects on their men and women in uniformβ€”but maybe if it were anonymous yet verified?

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."

Sorry, you don't get to give Trump CREDIT for creating a space-time continuum in which we will never be able to check if your presumptions (which is what they are) would have been correct

That is a tautology, and I am not here for it

You shouldn't be either

MARCO RUBIO:

The imminent threat was from Israel deciding to attack Iran without us and then Iran retaliating

The imminent threat was from Israel deciding to attack Iran without us

So the evidence of Donald Trump actually *caring* about the Iranian nuclear program being stopped is not almost zero, or approximately zero, or nearly zero, or in the general vicinity of zero, or approaching zero, but *exactly* zero. I don't make the rules, reality does.

Well, no, because Iranian enrichment dropped to zero after the 2015 nuclear deal, then Trump because he hated Barack Obama for being Black decided to exit that deal, and as you can see from any chart you look at in a Google search the result of Trump doing that was that Iran restarted enrichment.

NOTE: This isn’t just a word game. The Trump administration has now admitted that *Israel* was the nation that *created* the threat to the United States by declaring it was going to illegally attack Iran just because. *America* feared the consequences of what *Israel* was doing.

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."

Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

We were promised a historically competent Pentagon, and were told that we could judge how competent the Pentagon was going to be by how many pull-ups Pete Hegseth could do and the fact that soldiers would stop wearing beards.

Turns out these toxic turds can't even read maps.

If you have a friendβ€”perhaps even a congressmanβ€”spreading the lie that Trump has been trying to keep us safe from Iranian nukes, send them this. Maybe they learn better through music.

Obama had Iran's nuclear program cagedβ€”but Israel wanted a forever war.
