I used to play Risk a lot in high-school. Here’s how many troops I think it will take to hold the Strait of Hormuz.

Putin, with Trump's support, is killing Americans.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

That's would be SO awesome. They're so generous with their donations and charitable work.

They're so much better human beings than their exes.

When they seek authorization from congress for this aggression we can have a voice and stop this by lobbying our representatives and then…
Oh… never mind

Russia Secretly Sharing Location of U.S. Targets With Iran, U.S. Officials Say In a sign of deepening ties, satellite data from Moscow could help Tehran hit American forces around the Middle East.

β€œIran lacks a sizable fleet of its own satellites, so even minimal help from Russia could be filling a significant intelligence shortfall.”

Real strength isn’t impulse. It’s strategy. Before we send American troops into conflict, Congress should be asking: What’s the objective, the timeline, and the exit strategy?

If you can’t answer those, don’t start a war.

We deserve leadership that puts people over politics.

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.

Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

The Senate Oversight committee asked Kristi Noem about her ad. She spent $220 MILLION dollars on it.

The Avengers cost $237M to produce. That's a full-length blockbuster with hundreds of cast and crew members, hundreds of FX artists and years of production time.

Truly. But this criminal regime wants profits before people. They don't give a fuck about what it does to our planet.

β€œA country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

He has no clue what he’s doing in Iran. [Cartoon by Brendan Loper]
