What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

The US has suspended operations at their Kuwait embassy so American citizens there are on their own. Not that Donald Trump will care, alive or dead, Americans mean nothing to him unless he can profit from them.

Top defense officials push back on concerns about U.S. munitions shortage The U.S. campaign in Iran has already expended hundreds of high-cost air defense missiles and thousands of other munitions just days into the conflict.

It looks like the US will be running out of missiles soon. This is why I keep seeing scores of Boeing Globemasters being flown toward the ME, but none of them being used to rescue US citizens. Poor planning. Almost like Trumpy does everything on a whim?

I know someone who lives in Iran, and he said that only 1 in 100,000 people have access to the internet (not sure if that's an exaggeration or not) and that it's extremely slow. Livestreaming, unless it's something like Al Jazeera, probably isn't possible.

I've been looking at the flight radar. For anyone stuck in the Middle East, your best best is a flight out of Saudi Arabia, followed by Oman and the UAE. Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait don't have any passenger flights at this time. If you are in one of those countries, take an overland route to get out.

The United States flew a spy plane over Iceland, Greenland, and Canada today. Trump's objectives, seemingly, have not changed despite his war in Iran.

I don't know what's more alarming; that the prediction went up to 24% before it was pulled or that there is evidence of insider trading.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.
