Our military volunteers know they may be called upon to risk and lose their lives β¦ which is why we should NEVER send them into an unnecessary war. And we should actually have a fucking PLAN when we DO send them into battle. This administration is criminally immoral and stupid.
Dumas is a favorite of mine!
The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country βin an hourβ should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.π
A U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling aircraft has crashed in western Iraq with a crew of six. No confirmation on their status, but it is highly unlikely they survived.
Prior to this crash, nine U.S. service members had died in the War in Iran.
I look forward to your thoughts, because I have not read this one.
Trump sharing "prophecies" about himself could mean he believes he's on a mission from God, or that he wants to rally supporters as his popularity drops. Either way, it seems like a power play to portray his opponents as enemies of God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
WATCH - Joe Rogan (who supported Trump): βNothing seems stable. Everywhere in the world seems fucked. In all my years this seems the most unstable globally.β
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
π¨BREAKING: As the FBI probes the 2020 election in Maricopa County, senior Arizona officials are warning that the bureau may try to use the investigation as a way to short-circuit an ongoing lawsuit and obtain the stateβs full unredacted voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβand those are the ones we know about. Itβs crazy to think about what else will come out after.
Itβs absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
The fragile insecure flower is crying again.
The GOO sycophants are intolerable.
Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putinβs word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.
News: As you might have heard, our Judge and Scorekeeper, with a voice on loan to God, Bill Kurtis, is stepping down from βWait Waitβ at the end of May.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.
Wish I could bury it, lol.
tRump dragged us into a war that we don't want.
He should be removed from office and impeached. The cost to taxpayers and to Iranian children is just too much.
More and more Republicans will not be seeking reelection.
How many of yβall have people in your lives you no longer interact with because of their support for Trump? I do, and it causes me pain.
A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a shipβs bow with their arms outstretched in the filmβs famous βKing of the Worldβ pose.
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.
In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.
They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generationβs worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
Itβs time for accountability.
The War is highly unpopular, yet Congress voted to not require the President to appear befor Congress and explain the rationale for the War. This is good evidence that your Congressional representatives do not represent their constituants but, rather, represent some minority interest.
so what happened was, i read nine john le carrΓ© books, then i saw the pictures of the preposterous drapery SCIF at mar a lago where the iran war was being conducted, and then i thought about how many spies there must be at that place
and then i wrote a short story

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.
This is an EXCELLENT point about how solar power is about democracy and fossil fuels are about oligarchy.
Hadn't quite thought about it this way.
Good luck! If I lived in your district, Iβd vote for you! Alas, I do not even live in your state. But β¦ all the good vibes!
