Donald Trump tried to have his own former Vice President murdered as part of an attempted coup, and he was nevertheless re-elected to the presidency.

A scenario where he presides over a "good" outcome to warfare with another nation does not exist.

Ruben Gallego voted to confirm 10 of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees, and let me be clear, this is a really high number for a Democratic United States Senator.

The man has a proven track record of ignoring obvious red flags.

He tore up the JCPOA because it was Barack Obama’s achievement, period.

They laid off all of their Middle East correspondents *after* a United States carrier strike group entered the region.

MT-01 went 7.7% for Zinke in 2024, but in the last midterm election, he won only by 3.1%.

Going off about how you deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor in the wake of United States Military personnel dying in a vastly unpopular and illegal war is the kind of gaffe that the media dreams of a Democratic President committing.

Donald Trump has publicly and repeatedly threatened to conquer multiple NATO nations.

We need to regard the people who seriously argued "Donald Trump is anti-war" as basically arguing that "Donald Trump is not Donald Trump."

Real talk: this rhetoric significantly endangers United States military personnel across the entire globe.

If our forces are perceived as thinking that rules of engagement are stupid, then our adversaries will proceed with the understanding that rules of engagement are stupid.

Reminder: the government of Saudi Arabia straight up murdered a Washington Post reporter.

Bunker-busting bombs were not used by the US last year on a specific Iranian nuclear site—Isfahan—because US intel correctly assessed that the nuclear site was too deep for our bunker-busting bombs to reach. (SOURCE: CNN)

American "resolve" is not going to make these weapons go any deeper.

It's a good thing that a US President making military decisions largely based on boosting his own ego and image isn't highly exploitable by savvy foreign diplomats and smart foreign intelligence operativ—oh fuck.

My dumbass Democratic Congressman manages to be worse than all three of these categories.

The illegal war in Iran is literally grounds for impeaching Donald Trump.

Here's what Democrats are up against: the press will never be as angry at Donald Trump for saying United States servicemen dying in the new war in Iran is just "the way it is" as they were angry at Joe Biden for presiding over the end of the War in Afghanistan. To them, the latter was vastly worse.

Jamie Raskin (D-MD)—who has searched the unredacted Epstein files—says that when he did a search for Trump’s name, it came up in the files “more than a million times.”

"As an expert in violating all moral norms and international law myself..."

Not even Donald Trump illegally pirating Venezuelan oil is going to offset the consequences of Strait of Hormuz vessel traffic being ground to a halt.

Also, the only White House strategy that exists at this point is "We need to do whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of jail", that's the foundation for both their foreign policy and domestic policy decision-making, & elected Democrats need to be prepared to fire this observation from the hip.

The correct answer to this question was "Donald Trump should be impeached for starting an illegal war with Iran."

"If you are injured or fall, I believe with all my heart that your sacrifice makes your country and the world a better and safer place."

—Senator Lindsey Graham yesterday

It's actually uniquely terrible to say "Congress doesn't need to do shit" while there are now US military casualties.

"We may have casualties. That often happens in war."

—Donald Trump yesterday

“I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran.”

Will this make the people currently using social media to say “Kamala Harris would have done the same thing” stop?

Probably not.

Donald Trump turned the United States federal government against the state of Minnesota, and he's currently losing his completely harebrained campaign to conquer Minnesota.

This should be a consideration in any assessment of Donald Trump's capability to advance US military adventures.

If Donald Trump has publicly and repeatedly threatened to conquer your nation, you probably should not be voicing your support for any United States military endeavor right now, especially if you do not have nuclear weapons.

While he’s paling around with our tyrant.

“I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran.”

Will this make the people currently using social media to say “Kamala Harris would have done the same thing” stop?

Probably not.

If a Democratic President did all of this, there would be socially acceptable punditry about how they shouldn’t lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda when they die.

Donald Trump demanding the Nobel Peace Prize, joking about giving himself the Medal of Honor, starting a war with Iran, and following that up with a casual assessment about how there will be US military casualties in this war is honest to god the worst political messaging that I have ever seen.
