Trump never blames Russia for anything.

He didn't criticise Russia for invading Ukraine, for shooting down MH17, for murdering children at the Mariupol Drama Theatre, for murdering Ukrainian POWs at Olenivka, for bombing the children's hospital in Kyiv …

Trump works for Putin.

❗️The strength and role of Ukrainian women is not one day. It is all 365 days, – Zelenskyy on International Women's Day.

Β«Ukrainian women defend the country, wait for their loved ones and support their dear ones, raise children in the difficult conditions of war, create, research, save, teach, heal.

More Russian war crimes.

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:

Pete Kegsbreath has stumbled into a war which Trump and Rubio are still finding reasons for, besides to distract us from the missing Epstein files, of course. Watch the LP Podcast here: https://youtu.be/lWi4n1go7oE

Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.

One excellent way to place Americans at greater risk of retaliation is to convince Iranians that America isn’t just attacking their countryβ€”we’re attacking their faith.

Pete Hegseth is smart that way.

Pentagon says about 140 troops wounded, 8 severely, in war with Iran The vast majority of the wounded had minor injuries, a Pentagon spokesman said. The toll is higher than previously disclosed.

We should assume that Trump and Hegseth did not consider Iranian retaliation. Or didn't care.

Pentagon says about 140 troops wounded, 8 severely.
The number of wounded underscores the threat of Iranian drones and missiles, which have targeted U.S. bases across the Middle East.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs

Kari Lake, the Trump appointee in charge of Voice of America and other international broadcasters, has used dubious authority in her effort to dismantle the agency.

An expensive friendly fire could have been considerably worse if the airmen were killed.

Very glad they are safe and back on the ground. Hopefully they are also physically and mentally OK.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Trump's philosophy has always been "I'll do what I want to do, and I don't care how many lives it costs". We saw it in the Caribbean, we saw it in Minnesota, we saw it on January 6th, 2021.

Not surprising…when students were gunned down in Iowa, Trump said that β€œwe have to get over it, we have to move forward”….similar sentiment when Americans are killed by ICE/CBP agents. The Trump regime doesn’t mind killings in fulfillment of their agenda at all.

Freedom for WHO?

So Trump's son-in-law Jared can make bank?

What about UKRAINE? They are dying to be FREE from the Putin regime, and all they want is weapons. Their war would be over if we gave them what we just spent on bombing Iran.
