It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
Treason requires “either levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies by providing them aid and comfort.” They’re skirting closely to that line.
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
My stepdad used to say, “The first liar finishes last,” and I finally see it.
He narrates his hallucinations.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I hope the Kurds remember what happened in Syria and how recently we’ve treated the Afghan emigrants who helped us in our last forever war. Sadly, they should take our inconstancy into account.

Were you an adult during his presidency? The 111th Congress, from 2009 to 2011, was exceptionally active and passed much legislation. After the midterms, Republicans took Congress and it reverted to a road block:

He was President, not king.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.
💯
In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...
The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.
Wouldn't it be great if we had a Congress that would flex its powers and restrain a belligerent, reckless President who is leading America into WW3?
Ha! You thought BREXIT was self-sabotaging?
Thanks for holding our beer.
Well, shite. Are you implying the Stable Genius(tm) isn’t playing 4-dimensional chess?!?!!
💯 He is shameless. I am not sorry to see our allies standing up for themselves and refusing to be his punching bags.
😡😡😡😡
I would have loved to see her in the Senate. She is eminently qualified and has fire. I would have voted for her if I still lived in TX.
She is showing her class and that she is a team-player. Thank you to her for prioritizing Texans; it isn’t easy to be gracious and pivot after going all out.
We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.
Not just factually wrong, but the inability to use words in a full sentence. We’re inured now, but his vocabulary is stunted and, thus, his ability to think and reason is stunted.

I get why/that people say this, but dont' underestimate this:
all other social networks are invested in making sure that posts that link to journalism remain buried, or at least never go viral.
BlueSky doesn't do that. That makes it very valuable to a ton of newsrooms righ tnow.
What utter nonsense. Hegseth just said "We didn't start this war, but we will finish it."
These are evil people, looking to reenact the ugliest episodes in American history.
I mean...this keeps happening with Platner...

The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...
Sociopaths, particularly stupid ones, don't plan much.
As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
