Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

MASSIE: โ€œIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president.

This administration can't even give us a straight answer.โ€

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

Itโ€™s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

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.

WATCH โ€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoemโ€™s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlinโ€™s husbandโ€™s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet itโ€™s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

Lying about either Clinton's testimony a couple of days before video was released seems profoundly stupid, but I guess when you've got FOX and NewsMax to just pick up the lies and run with them, it doesn't matter.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans theyโ€™re on their own.

weโ€™ve reached the point where the american system of government seems no longer to exist at the federal level.

the executive no longer abides by our laws and clearly hates our constitution. congress has demonstrated a similar contempt.

the constitution is a dead letter except where convenient.

Expectation: Congress exclusively holds the power to declare war

Reality: The President unilaterally starts wars whenever and with whomever he likes, and Congress can't even be bothered to vote on whether to stop bombing schools, killing children and assassinating/kidnapping foreign heads of state

"The Constitution vests the power of declaring War with Congress, therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject, and authorised such a measure." Washington

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation:

โ€œI don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.โ€

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.

The use of military force to oust a dictatorship so a sovereign people can realize self-determination is at least justifiable, if not usually practical

Trumpism is not that. Itโ€™s the use of military force to kill or abduct individual leaders & intimidate governments into becoming client states

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you arenโ€™t able to make case to the American people now, you arenโ€™t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitutionโ€”or laws at allโ€”impeachment is necessary.

Happy that we are slaughtering innocent Iranians for oil.

The fact that the US military HAS and IS participating in illegal attacks, shows me that it doesn't bode well for US citizens hoping that they also won't be attacked
