Oh. And the VA might not take care of their injuries, invisible or otherwise.

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Iran has the capacity to launch terror and cyber attacks against allies and US. Due to DOGE, partisan firings of FBI and cyber officials, and lack of focus or know how by AG Bondi and DHS Noem, they are ignoring this possibility completely.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people. We do not want another forever war.

my question is - if they could take out the ayatollah with that kind of precision, why hit anything else? specifically, why hit a school?

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

Every accusation is a confession.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u... Headline should be “At least 5 doctors …”

One disgusting aspect of all this is Trump fundamentally doesn’t care about it at all. He barely knows where any of these places are. He likes cash in brown envelopes and being on TV as Mr Big Important Guy. He’s just willing to pull any lever he thinks might keep that stuff flowing indefinitely.

In 2025 Trump said: "If we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh that's good," (As Trump begins military operations in Iran, the White House is threatening an executive order to nationalize elections.)

This is a Wag the dog war. Yes, Iran is a bad actor, however this is an attempt to change the American narrative away from the economy, tariffs, corruption, the Epstein files, ICE and the GOP sagging polls leading into the midterms.

Remember everybody, Mitch McConnell could have stopped all this madness but didn't.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Rep Pat Ryan (D-NY): Trump “hasn’t explained his goals.  He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins”

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

Rep Jim Himes (D-CT), top Democrat on House Intelligence Committee: “Everything I have heard from the Administration before and after these strikes on Iran confirms this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame…”

1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.

Send Lindsay Graham to fight in Iran and then ask him how noble it would be to die there! Asshole! www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-top-s...

On top of ignoring congress, dude declares war on his own twisted social media platform. And nobody blinks because we’re numb to his transgressions. He knows nobody will stop him from doing what he wants, regardless of how it destroys the U.S. and the world.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Donald Trump has done nothing to prove that his military actions in Iran — unauthorized by Congress — make Americans safer or the region more stable. The people of Iran deserve peace and democracy, but the United States must support these goals without plunging our nation into another endless war.

If Democrats so much as mince words about this absolutely illegal and evil act by Donald Trump and his monsters, they will have forfeited everything. The Constitution expressly forbids the President and his minions from doing anything remotely like this without express Congressional authorization.

Thomas Massie could declare himself an independent who caucuses with Democrats, and the House would one seat from flipping. Bet they could find another one pretty quickly after that.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

Do something about him. He cannot go to war without Congress’s approval. What the fuck. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @briantylercohen.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @algreen.house.gov

“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.” snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

The Trump administration has so little respect for the public, international law, and the UN that they didn’t even pretend to have a coherent reason for bombing Iran. They are just neocons who have wanted this for decades.

How fitting that this illegal war was launched from the U.S.S. Gerald Ford, named for the man who launched the travesty that American presidents are above the law

The media simply refused to describe the actual, real world stakes of the 2024 election. The Republican nominee was a demonstrable violent lunatic hell bent on revenge and that man was covered like a normal guy who would tame inflation.

the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

No one who cooperates with evil remains unscathed. Roberts made a deal with the devil he can't get out of, reframe, or distance himself from. He paved the way for a dictator, and nothing he says or does will make any difference now. Generations of people will say his name in disgust.

Almost everything Trump said about Iran could be said about Russia: a state sponsor of terrorism. apnews.com/article/russ...

“For the second time, Trump has offered negotiations to Iran while obviously planning an attack. It’s now evident this week’s negotiations in Geneva were a charade.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

The problem with an average American electorate so stupid and ill-informed they can’t find a country the size of Iran on a map is… Well… This.

it's also revealing that we're attacking a country to "liberate" it while we're abducting refugees to put into concentration camps
