Just added MSG to my Ramen recipe for the first time.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Who can forget this famous line from Jesus... "Thou shalt attack your enemy and call it "pre-emptive" to make it seem like you're defending yourself."

Imagine if the U.S. spent the trillions of dollars we've spent on war making everything better instead. Cheap, clean energy. Cheaper, safer food. Less disease. Better healthcare. More opportunity. Instead we get whatever this is.

No shit

We spent around $2.9 trillion on Iraq/Syria. But Republicans have never really cared about deficit spending.

This one has been a long time coming.
