“There was no eminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was an eminent threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an eminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory.” -Senator Mark Warner

The war with Iran will be short because of our technical superiority. You know, just like Vietnam.

SHEEHY: Democrats are defending the Ayatollah COLLINS: Who is? S: Elizabeth Warren's former campaign manager C: I don't know who that is. But Warren is not defending the Ayatollah S: The NYT published an obituary describing him as 'avuncular' C: That was the Post. But that's not a Dem

When Hegseth says "no stupid rules of engagement," this is what he means.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

it's surreal how Witkoff's talking points about Iran are just warmed-over Bush talking points on Iraq ...

It’s times like these when we can be grateful as a nation that some our most highly trained FBI counterterrorism experts are detailed to do private security for Kash Patel’s girlfriend as she pursues a career as a UFC pre-fight national anthem singer.

Rep. Davidson: "At least let our emperor be the ruler of the empire, not somebody else. I think that's a very troubling explanation by Secretary Rubio."

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress. Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

What did folks think was going to happen when they changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War? Trump took us to war and has no freaking idea how to get us out of it.

HAYES: “Trump’s war with Iran is illegal, reckless, and wrong. We’re only on Day 3 and it is already an indelible stain on this country.”

Markwayne Mullin and Tommy Tuberville doing cable hits all day to see who's the dumbest Republican senator

Be right back. Gonna punch my neighbor before he can punch me for getting punched by some other guy.

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

According to #Trump and his gang on #Iran. At least Bush stayed with the one WMD lie till end.

Well, we did it because of the protesters Nukes I mean they’re building an ICBM We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

They went to the boss.

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people. He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

Even Matt Walsh isn’t buying it

Barron Trump is "reportedly" 6'9". The published max height for enlistment in most US military branches is 6'8". However, being one inch over doesn’t mean automatic rejection, it just triggers a waiver review. If he met weight & equipment standards, he wouldn’t be barred on height alone.

The US Embassy in Riyadh seems to have taken a direct hit. No idea on casualties, but it looks bad. Hope it was evacuated.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?" HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

#Pentagon officials told congressional staffers there WAS no imminent #Iranian attack, undercutting Trump’s stated justification that recent US strikes on #Iran were "necessary to protect #American personnel". As polls show a MAJORITY of #Americans OPPOSE the military action youtu.be/Qte5yjggPkQ?...

Hegseth taking the Pentagon is Musk taking Twitter: both obsessed with "woke," both allergic to self-reflection, both crave the blood of innocents. Both have the same pickup line: "Sign this NDA."

Prediction: this will not go well for all concerned. Rubio and Mike Johnson today said that Israel was going to attack, which made US involvement a fait accompli. NYT reporting portrayed Netanyahu as the key decisionmaker, able to get Trump on board. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-reason...

I know many people forgot this, but Rubio is genuinely dumb. He has no idea what he is doing. No education, training or expertise to handle what he now faces.

Rubio said, out loud, Bibi made Trump panic and clowned him into precipitously starting a war. Wild stuff.

Guys, does Rubio not get protocol and advance notice?? How do they leave when there are no flights in Iran, Iraq, Israel, west bank, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and Bahrain??? Where are arranged U.S. charter flights to get Americans out?!

So the Rubio line is that if Iran was attacked (unclear by whom!!!) then Iran would hit our bases, meaning we had to preemptively attack before we could face the consequences of another country's belligerence.

At least Rubio went out there and torched his career. Vance is lurking in shadows, calling Bari to make CBS say he was against this all along.

Rubio’s idiotic justification for the “imminent threat”—that Israel was going to act anyway, and we couldn’t do anything about it, and we allegedly were going to be hit by Iran in response—is going over like a lead balloon. The administration could have real problems in Congress later this week.

The US embassy in Saudi Arabia is currently on fire. Somebody kick Hegseth off his barstool. Somebody else just kick Rubio. Fuck these guys. Seriously. Fuck these guys

All this sh!t to keep #Trmp and #Netanyahu out of prison. This is what happens when we elect criminals to run our countries.

Guess who predicted that the pedo would start a war with Iran? If you guessed Jeffrey Epstein, you’d be right. Keep talking about pedo’s place in the Epstein files. #JeffreyEpsteinWar

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

A striking thing about Trump's social media activity over the past 24 hours is that from it you'd barely know we're at war. He's been posting news articles from over 2 years ago, spamming posts w/ positive reviews of his SOTU speech, & now posting stuff like this. The guy really lives in a bubble.

The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.

Kuwait: We shot down 3 jets US: Great Job, Kuwait Kuwait: Your’s US:

also folks may not be aware but your options for doing a land invasion of Iran are: - Iraq - Pakistan - Afghanistan and Turkmenistan...if you can get there - Azerbaijan, Armenia (technically) or Turkey...if you want to fight through the mountains right off the bat there is no Kuwait next door

Forbes: The U.S. Military’s Central Command on Monday confirmed that a fourth military member has died and three of its fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait in an “apparent friendly fire” incident. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

"Tell me how this ends...." —What Ike asked about Laos, Suez —What JFK was reportedly ready to ask about US troops in Indochina —What GWHBush asked, in deciding to limit Gulf War to Kuwait —What GWBush did *not* ask, when going into Iraq —What seems not to have occurred to Trump, Hegseth et al

All this sh!t to keep #Trmp and #Netanyahu out of prison. This is what happens when we elect criminals to run our countries.

A list of countries that have been hit by missiles / drones in the past 48 hours: - Iran - Israel - Saudi Arabia - UAE - Bahrain - Qatar - Kuwait - Jordan - Lebanon - Palestine (Gaza) - Iraq - Oman - Afghanistan - Cyprus Trump and Netanyahu have unleashed a regional war that will impact millions

US military planes shot down since Vietnam, leaderboard by country: 1) Iraq 2) USA 3) Kuwait
