Knowing myself as I do, I'm confident that had I ever seen a dog-shit video about the military like the one the White House just put out, I would have never enlisted. I wouldn't have wanted a f*cking thing to do with anyone viewing war like a Saturday morning cartoon.
If your response to our country participating in the bombing of school children starts with "Yeah, but..." your political ideologies are the least of my worries.
Genious
Lucifer has a point
Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
I don’t want the national conversation to turn into “how should we fight this war with Iran?” when we shouldn’t be fighting Iran in the first place!
I hope that Trump and Hegseth are haunted by those children every night and never get a moments peace.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”
We bombed a girls’ school and killed 175 kids based on his feelings?!
He should use the rest of his time to work with the demo. Or, maybe, launch a write in campaign.
The leopards came for Dan.
These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.
Good
War. What it's good for, absolutely nothing, say it again...
We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.
Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Governor Pritzker speaks at the Celebration of Life for Reverend Jackson.
Reverend Jackson will live on.
In his family.
In the countless lives that he touched.
In the public servants, elected officials, and leaders that have walked in the path that he set.
In the kinder, more just world that his advocacy built.
May his memory be a blessing to us all.
Oil prices have rallied to a nearly two-year high since the U.S. attacked Iran over the weekend.
"I'm always surrounded by secret service, so it likely won't be me. So, whatever. I don't care." --- Trump
Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Jared Moskowitz criticizing FEMA under Secretary Kristi Noem, listing issues including the largest FEMA backlog in history, Florida being owed $2.5 billion, delayed disaster declarations, and search-and-rescue teams waiting 72 hours during Texas floods. Below is a video still of Moskowitz speaking during a congressional hearing.
Noem was a disaster at every level, from start to termination.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Seems troubling.
More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

You guys ever think about how, if Al Gore had been president on 9/11, we might be energy independent now? I wish I didn’t.

A while ago Trump paused its Ukraine aid to ensure it contributes to a solution. The order remains until Trump determines Ukraine’s commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. Meanwhile, Putin gives Iran intelligence to target our troops. Perhaps Trump should reconsider helping Ukraine more. 🔄
It's not a stupid question, and we deserve an answer.
Trump's reckless use of military and war powers will bankrupt this country, something he's really good at. So here is what I propose, all his and his families assetts should be seized and liquidated to pay down the war debt he is creating, as should all the war mongering oligarchs, that profit.
