Donald Trump once opposed war and promised to remove America from foreign entanglements.

This is why he broke that promise.

Toxic masculinity.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

WTF? Is the amount of taxpayer dollars they are willing to spend on wars limitless? Didn't they already give the military more money than ever? And how about the money that went to DHS? Or the money they are burning through to bomb in South America?
NO MORE $$ for WAR

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Priorities.

Thank you!

Bibi made me do it. From the worst US president in history, who desperately wants a nobel peace prize.

I'm sorry for your pain. I'm glad you're here. Your posts often lighten my mood and help many of us get through these dark times. You remind me to go back to peace, love, integrity, compassion.

Or maybe you and Trump could have shown some leadership and diplomacy skills to rein in Netanyahu.
Oh wait, you're both too weak.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Nope. Don't believe it for a nanosecond.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Trump 2.0:

-Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen
-Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians
-Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions
-Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities

The "Peace President."

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Are there any that haven't broken the law?

People in this country cannot afford health care. They cannot afford rent or to own a home. They cannot afford groceries. The social safety net is being cut out from underneath them.

Meanwhile the Department of Defense is shooting down drones used by Border Patrol.

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how.

This is not a sacrifice...won't watch it if you paid me.

The depth of the greed is hard to fathom.

Very powerfully illustrates the current reality.
