Iran is at war. The US is engaged in a special military operation that will last for three π–½ΜΆπ–ΊΜΆπ—’ΜΆπ—ŒΜΆ π—ΜΆπ–ΎΜΆπ–ΎΜΆπ—„ΜΆπ—ŒΜΆ months. It’ll all be over by π–’ΜΆπ—ΜΆπ—‹ΜΆπ—‚ΜΆπ—ŒΜΆπ—ΜΆπ—†ΜΆπ–ΊΜΆπ—ŒΜΆ September!

There’s an old maxim: β€œDemocrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line”.

We on the left don’t show up for the Dem candidate if we have issues with them. πŸŠπŸ’© is in office because too many people wouldn’t vote for Kamala due to Gaza.

Republicans do show up. Child rapist? Fraud? Felon? No problem.

His strong, healthier son has some good reasons to hate us, too. Not only have we killed his father, we’ve killed his wife and at least one of his children. πŸ˜”

If that’s the case, maybe we should start calling it the Department of Defense.

Plus the whole sneak attack during negotiations immediately after the other side agreed to your terms thing. This is a war that didn’t need to happen.

It’s usually them returning to reality on one or two topics, but still batshit crazy on the rest.

Whoever is the cleanup crew will be in for a rough time. The circus has demolished so much, so quickly, that I don’t know if anyone will be able to clean up the mess. Sometimes things get broke can’t be fixed.

Probably because the SNL cold open was about Iran and Epstein. …didn’t mention Israel, though.

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

So, Iran has been shooting their cheap, easily replaceable stuff at us, watching us (mostly) shoot them down, until we run out of interceptors and they can start sending the good stuff?

Sounds like something a ten year old could have planned out…

I saw a comment the said we aren’t β€œangry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

He was 87; not long for the world, anyway. Now, he’s a martyr for his people, killed by a cowardly sneak attack while his government was engaged in negotiations.

You’re just starting now??!? I feel prescient… I started stocking up between the election and the inauguration.

Definitely, stock up on things you’ll need when things go to πŸ’©! It’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll be glad you did, with πŸŠπŸ’© and his evil minions running things in this country.

The numbers have been increasing all day long. Last I heard was 85. :-(

Maybe not… we were engaged in talks with them. Nobody really expects to be stabbed in the back while negotiating in good faith.

In the primaries, a lot of these people need to be replaced. There are a bunch of terrible Democrats in office. At the same time, the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.

He’s not a moron; he’s not going to announce something like that. …no matter how accurate it is. Murdering dozens of elementary school kids in cold blood is a way to goad their people into retaliating, providing infinite cycles of β€œIsrael has a right to protect itself” yammering and new attacks.

I despise the unilateral πŸŠπŸ’© action intensely. A little tiny part of that fury goes to the spineless Dems who either approve of, or refuse to condemn this evil sneak attack. Those Dems should be replaced in primaries. …and I still recognize that the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.

Or just turn them over to Iran directly.

I think the entire sneak attack counts as a war crime. Definitely bombing schools counts.

I think our sneak attack on Iran demonstrates pretty conclusively that they need nukes to protect themselves from US. …so does everybody else.

I tried, hard, to convince a friend to vote for Harris, when she was the only realistic option to πŸŠπŸ’©. If my friend (and a couple of million other people) had been convinced, we wouldn’t be in this nightmare, and those 85+ school girls would be safely home after school right now.

In a two-party system, any vote for a third party only hurts the party closer to you. I would very much like a multi-party system, like they have in the civilized world, but we’re not there now. I’d rather have someone I agree with 2% of the time than someone I agree with 0% of the time.

In the primary, pricks like this need to be removed. As unbelievable as it seems, though, the worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican at this point. Not much better, in some cases, but still better.
