Any republicans in congress feel like "A whole civilization will die tonight" might cross your own personal line? No? Hm.

Is Vance's support of Orban, Russia's most important asset in Europe, really in America's national interest?

Tomorrow we either get TACO Trump or War Criminal Trump. You never know which on any given day.

The world isn’t asking Russia to stop bombing children, it’s asking Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries. Let that sink in. open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Der Stadtbild-CDU wäre Jesus zu links, zu weich, zu woke.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

We are screwed….

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

It is historically normal for terrorists to go after the moderates who might dampen a conflict.

hmm

Finde spannend, wie im Bezug auf Merz immer noch von “rhetorischen Fehltritten” und “Patzern” gesprochen wird, wo doch klar ist, dass der Mann tatsächlich sagt, was er meint. Einmal so viel unverdientes Wohlwollen erbracht bekommen wie dieser Kanzler.

Could be worse. We could have had a woman president.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication. Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

“That scenario would leave Iran in many ways in a stronger international position than before Trump's war.” Trump is such a moron.

Right, like when one country in the alliance threatens to invade another country in the alliance.

This might be the most unhinged thing he’s ever tweeted, and that’s saying something. He’s flailing. Has no idea how to get out of this war cleanly.

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

Trump did not consult allies before he single-handedly launched his attack against Iran. Nor did he reportedly ask any NATO allies for concrete military contributions. Now that things are not going as he expected, he wants allies to 'take' the Strait of Hormuz. He wants it to become 'their' problem.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

The stupidest war in history, being waged by the stupidest president in history.

In this 8th Debunk of the Day, we’ll discuss complaints about US financing of NATO, in particular how the US allegedly pays for European defense, leading to calls for a US withdrawal from the Alliance — which would only make it easier for Putin to invade more countries. 1/7

Friedrich Merz und Katherina Reiche stellen den Kohleausstieg & das EU-Klimaziel 2050 infrage. Staatsminister Weimer sorgt in der Kulturszene für ein "Klima der Angst & Selbstzensur". Merz, Spahn & Co. machen aus allen Bewegungen eine Zuwanderungs-Debatte. War das mit "AfD halbieren" gemeint?

Difficult to keep your stupid lies straight results in confusion for dumb orange man.

Antidemokratische Politik, autoritärer Umbau. Und wir waren so naiv zu glauben, es sei entscheidend, die AfD zu verhindern. Jetzt fängt die CDU einfach schon mal an.

COMMENTARY: Donald Trump’s decision to join Israel in a war against Iran is a far bigger strategic error than George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. It is also one with far greater strategic consequences. 🔗 politico.eu/article/iraq...

The number of people whose concern about russia's genocide of Ukrainians is not russia's actions, but Ukrainians' refusal to be slaughtered in silence, is astonishing.

“.. With tariffs pushing Canadian aluminum elsewhere last year, American companies became *increasingly reliant* on imports from the Middle East .. “.. Those sources are now imperiled by the Iran war ..” 🤡 @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Statt ein AfD-Verbot zu prüfen, prüft man lieber "Demokratie leben". Mehr muss man über diese Regierung nicht wissen.

Die Grünen können froh sein, gerade nicht in der Regierung zu sein, sonst hätten sie bei diesen Spritpreisen massiv Stimmen verloren. Und Schwarz-Rot kann froh sein, nicht dass ihnen die halbe Presselandschaft nicht so feindselig gegenüber gestellt und sie dafür verantwortlich macht.

What Would Satan Do?

Trump’s latest excuse for the Iran war is that we need to open the Strait of Hormuz for trade. The problem? It was already open before he started bombing. Now we’re spending billions on a war abroad while people are struggling at home — all to distract from the Epstein files.

Ich hoffe die demokratisch organisierte Zivilgesellschaft hat verstanden, dass dies ein bewusster Frontalangriff auf ihre Existenz ist und damit auch auf die Demokratie selbst. Das ist die "konservative Revolution" von der Alexander Dobrindt vor Jahren schwärmte! Das ist praktizierte AfD-Politik!

Hard lessons in life. If you bully your friends, threaten to invade and take them over, belittle and insult them, hit them with policies that impact their economies negatively, and tell them you don't respect or need them, there's a really good chance they're not going to have your back.

Ceding fortified defense positions to an aggressor that never hid its ambition to destroy #Ukraine guarantees more war, not security.

We have got to get back to where we were before Trump started this unnecessary war.

“A man who feels nothing for the dead or their families, and who sees their tragedies only as a platform for his grievances, is a narcissist. And a party that defends him … is nothing but an extension of his illness.” Trump’s celebration of Mueller’s death is sick. And the GOP’s silence is sicker.
