Please, Pete - stop telling us that you’re not killing civilians.

I still find it concerning that the only nation that has ever actually used a nuclear weapon feels it has the right to determine who else can have such weapons.

And if this admin was concerned about that, why let all the treaties that limit such weapons lapse?

Now Hegseth is telling us that Trump is personally directing every aspect of this war.

Just another piece of evidence showing that these people are insane.

Remind me again: what, exactly, are we winning?

No, Pete Hegseth, it is NOT appropriate to read from the Bible at your war briefing. No.

Trump calls the war in Iran an β€œexcursion.”

I thought β€œexcursions” were something people opted in for when they went on a cruise.

This is war.

STOP HIM.

That’s my prayer.

War kills people.

I don’t care how politicians frame it. War kills people.

There were people in the boats. There were little girls in the school. There were people in the submarine.
There were people in the non-secure compounds.

We are killing people. For what???

For what??

Trump says he was told: β€œSir, please finish the job, sir.”

First, any time he uses the β€œsir” construction in a story you know he made it up.

Second: what, exactly, does β€œfinish the job” mean??

So tRump claims that no other nation in the planet allows mail in voting.

And everyone in the room remains silent….

No wonder a lie travels around the world before truth gets its boots on (or whatever the damn saying is).

Perfect. Heh.

Terms in current use I dislike:

- Department of War
- War fighters
- β€œObjectable” fact
- Narcoterrorism
- Domestic terrorist

Karoline Leavitt just turns my stomach…

Basically, she just said that we should all trust Trump’s feelings & hunches because they are always right.

That’s some scary stuff…..

CNN Runs Pro-Trump ICE Ad Weeks After Reporting On Mysterious Group Paying For It CNN has been running an ad promoting President Donald Trump's ICE agency weeks after airing a report on a billboard by the group behind it.

Cant find the ad online but did find this article that has a copy of it www.yahoo.com/news/article...

@maddowblog.bsky.social Hey Rachel & show - you spend a lot of air time revealing the problems with iCE (yeah!), but your network airs pro-ICE ads paid for by American Sovereignty PAC (boo).

Care to comment??

But might it explain why it was so important to have Turkey join NATO?

Perhaps it is only a matter of time before the world starts to wonder if the key to global safety might be shutting down the US military

I want all US citizens to realize that every ship sunk, every bomb dropped, and every drone launched means the death of human beings.

Our tax dollars at work. I do not approve.

And Pete Hegseth says we are winning.

Winning what, exactly?

I do *not* approve of this β€œbriefing” by #Hegseth. It is just propaganda.

There is a new axis of evil in the world: Trump, Putin and Netanyahu.

Because too many American companies & billionaires profit from waging war. We are the arms merchant for the planet.

Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.

WAKE THE F*CK UP AMERICA.

It *should* happen in the USA, but it doesn’t. My guess is that we don’t have the infrastructure to support this & publishers wouldn’t want it. But I think it would be good for authors.
