Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Here's where Dems go wrong. They believe politics is in anyway tied to reality. Make shit up, people! Bodies, especially dead ones, aren't real. Food isn't real. Homes aren't real. When you're a star, you can do anything! Be a star, you noobs who keep trying to suggest the earth-bound world exists.

At least some countries can attest to what a lie is. Especially when it's about them.

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.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Good thing the public schools are left with the crumbs so rich kids could get their Legos! I'm pretty sure you can make a cake from Legos.

JD VANCE: "There's just no way Trump is gonna about this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"

I'm pretty sure at some point he'll be all, "See. Obama attacked Iran and look what happened." And people will believe him.

What has happened in Venezuela besides Trump looting the oil fields? Regime change? Are the people less oppressed? That was the promise. I haven't heard the results.

Who are the council members temporarily in charge of Iran? Until Khamenei's successor is picked, three-member leadership council, including Ayatollah Arafi, will lead Iran.

So Iranian leadership isn't destroyed. Hardliners are cemented in control of the country. New Supreme Leader to be chosen soon. When the ignorant do stupid shit & have no clue or concern how there opponent functions. Men, women & children die for desperate criminals

I call it very predictable.
Just go through the tweets from the past to find out what’s to come.
They’re are no longer rules. They just killed a bunch of children…they are used to that.

The following large outlets are now state media (like Fox) snatched up by far right billionaires:

- CBS
- The Washington Post
- Twitter

Soon:
- CNN
- HBO

The information landscape was worst-ever in 2024 and is getting worse.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

I’ve written about this multiple times, but MOST countries aren’t prepared for this kind of war.

I don’t think folks understand how much combat has evolved during the Russo-Ukrainian war.

It’s unrecognizable from other modern conflicts.
