Trump ranks among Trump's most damning critics of his war of choice (and distraction) in Iran.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The war was Bibi and MBS' idea.

Trump still plans to attend fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago this evening as war rages in the Middle East.
Donald Trump launched his war on Iran from a makeshift situation room at Mar-a-Lago, and he does not need to alter his social schedule per Press Secy. The Guardian.

"M Street and Wisconsin in Georgetown taken over by a large crowd of celebrating Iranians, chanting USA USA … not what I was expecting during my run today."

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.

Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.

We do not want another forever war.

So the plan is as vapid and stupid as the planners and boils down to Why Not? And Whatever.

Obviously the president is full of it. This clipping is from this morning's Cedar Rapids Gazette. He gave less than 24 hours to "reach a deal" before a coordinated attack.

I’ve watched the same cycle 61 years of my life:

When Retrumplicans are in power, we go to war, give tax cuts to the wealthiest/ deregulate corporations allowing them to hurt us without any accountability.

Then, Democrats are elected & do clean-up & advance DEI and prosperity and access for all!!

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Donald Trump & Israel have started an illegal & completely avoidable war on Iran based on lies. It's not about the nuclear question (solved by Obama in 2015), it's about regime change to complete Israel's regional dominance. Thousands of people will die, & the world will never be the same again.

Girlfriend's Defense Of Kash Patel's Winter Olympics Trip Goes Off The Rails Alexis Wilkins rambled about mice after the FBI director was accused of squandering taxpayer money to drink beer with the U.S. hockey team.

Seriously? This cupcake is a joke. No one cares at all about what she has to say about her "boyfriend." She needs to get a real life instead of the reflection of glory from him.

MAGA called me pro-war for saying we should give Ukraine weapons to help them defend their sovereignty.

This morning, they're cheering as America bombs Iran.

They stand for nothing.

Nothing whatsoever.

🚩This Is Not How Democracies Go to War. It’s How Dictators Do.

Donald Trump has said almost nothing to justify going to war against Iran. The real reason may be something he dare not speak of.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
