Using an Op-Ed to prostitute as a means to fill a sudden void is telling about you as a human being, Klein.

My dad spent a year in an army hospital during WWII after being wounded by German soldiers. He would gave been broken hearted to see so many Americans welcome a fascist authoritarian regime.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Let me get this straight. The US intel community doesn’t know anything. The Pentagon doesn’t know anything. Only Trump knows anything. Well okay then.

Every US death by way of Iran or their proxies worldwide is on Trump’s hands.

Dow jumped 250 pts within minutes of the reported Iran missile attack. War… what is it good for… absolutely nothing …but business.

Donald Trump is so used to groveling to Putin that groveling now to Xi to keep the Straits of Hormuz open is just second nature.

Hmm. I wonder where 80 percent of Walmart products as well as a large percent of other US retailers get their products from?

China will have a lot to say on that. Good luck with closing the Strait without a full blown war Iran cannot win and we will all lose.

Do yourself a favor and switch to AlJazeera for coverage of the US strike on Iran. They have become a valuable must watch TV news coverage just as much as CNN/BBC. Use the YT live feed if you don’t have the channel on your provider. #Iran #US #Isreal

He did it better than most of the women I’ve had in my life. I was jealous and nostalgic all at once.

It’s amazing that Hegseth has learned how to gargle vodka and Trump’s ball sweat at the same time. That’s talent.

Just a reminder that you can intensely dislike the Iranian regime and still think all this is a fucking gross combination of illegal and insane.

Pete Hegseth mixes in Trump’s ball sweat when making Sunday morning mimosas ahead of his press conference.

Fuck Mitch McConnell and the other GOP senators who could have barred Trump from ever being able to run again and didn’t. He should be in jail and instead he is starting WWIII.

Watching i24 News (Israel) and AJZ. It’s like watching two alternate realities. AJZ is ours. I24 News cheering on Trump to fully join in the war. They are taking every chance to push us into the war also. The irony of Israeli commentators decrying a hospital hit by missiles was incredible.
