Unfolding debate between two members of Congress on going to war with Iran.

good thing they fired everyone

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Epstein saying if Trump is “cornered like a rat he could begin bombing Iran” “You guys need to understand that he is psychotic,” Epstein warned handlers.

Actually I'd mention that I was really surprised by Denmark, of all people, considering what's been going on. Very, uh, not attempting to be skeptical of US aims in the Middle East.

Nothing about the UN security council meeting made it sound like the US is a pariah state.

Under Donald Trump, we've attacked Iran, which provoked them into attacking Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE. Starting to think that defeating Kamala Harris wasn't the best way to save Muslim and Arab lives.

Attacks against Kuwait, UAE and Bahrain remain ongoing.

Kuwait Airport was hit by Iranian missiles. A 100% civilian airport.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership

Trump doesn’t want a free Iran. He wants an Iran controlled by Israel. Israel has an horrific record when it comes to freedom and human rights.

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

It really bothers me when I tell people this they're like "Who is John Thune?" And like I think Thune should be as well-known as Schumer. He is the Senate Majority leader. That man should never know peace.

You know what DID age well?

🚩🚩🚩 @50501movememt.bsky.social just *BLOCKED me* for sharing Rev Sharpton’s answer to my question about how he feels about the white left, demanding Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social’s ouster as Leader of The @democrats.org! 🚩🚩🚩

Trump to Iranians celebrating their "liberation":

Iranians cheering are about to find out how much Trump and Netanyahu care about brown Muslim lives.

Guys, China’s risk calculus on Taiwan is not determined by some global scale of the acceptability of aggression

Also roughly 70-80 percent of Chinese senior military posts are currently empty.

Please understand that China is an actual place with its own structures and problems and not some pendulum that swings only in reaction to US actions.

Republicans when the party that started two wars in the Middle East starts a third war in the Middle East.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

“How dare the party with no political power at the federal level right now not use the poltical power it doesn’t have…”

The King is mad

I am a veteran with a son who currently serves. I don't blame her one fucking bit. But I damn sure have a shit ton of smoke for those who pushed out Joe Biden, sat at home, voted third party, STILL protesting Harris and the folks who flat out told those canvassing they can't vote for a woman. So

Beyond all the other deranged shit here, I just want to take a moment to express how angry I will remain at every single person who has tried to make this guy into the “non war” guy over the last decade. Fuck you people

Your favorite left-wing political streamer, podcaster, or influencer is still a capitalist. They only care about the money that your fear and rage generates. And they manipulate you to vote for conditions that produce more fear and rage.

Harris was not and is not a terrible candidate. IDGAF how many times you say that to try to make yourself feel better. Y’all screwed the entire world over because you didn’t (haven’t been for years) take the threats seriously & were/are upset Black Folks & Jews kept resisting your bs.

Both HRC and KH have been right about everything but y’all will never admit that you were wrong. You can scream at the top of your lungs about genocide but the fact of the matter is you WILLINGLY chose to help elect a man that is killing people HERE & THE REST OF THE WORLD. You willingly let a

convicted fraud rapist racist become POTUS & l will NEVER stop telling people what your silly entitled ass did. He told you exactly what he was going to do and wrote it all down. There is no “both candidates” to this. There’s only you being a selfish simpleton in the voting booth…AS USUAL.

Trump & Co have been talking about US military action for weeks, if not months, and positioning the assets to do it - long before such intelligence ever could have become a factor. This is transparent nonsense.

Poor Gen Z. You didn't listen to millennials about Republicans and now we're at war in the Middle East. Again. And you're doomed to watch Gen Alpha grow up and make the same mistake even as you scream to warn them.

i think we need to make a social shift. instead of proving how cool you are by knifing someone on our team, what if you proved how cool you are by taking the fight to the enemy. crazy thought

Oh guys we have now reached it’s Kamala’s fault part of the story. Some of these people are so stupid they need to be watered.

yay, gallows humor. @badtoss.bsky.social

i see we have entered the “get mad at Democrats about unilateral Trump action” phase of the thing and, whatever makes you happy I guess most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant

If your biggest criticism of the Democrats is "they should've stopped the Republicans" then perhaps you should be angrier at the Republicans.

We’re now at war w/Iran. The US & Israel just sent out airstrikes in Tehran w/o Congressional approval, an impeachable offense. The question is why did he do this? [___] stein? Iran has responded by attacking a US Air Force base in Bahrain. Impeach him now!

To clarify: “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used heavy missiles to target several bases simultaneously including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, as well as the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain.”

Remember, a LOT of these people jumping on social media to slam the Democrats, smear Kamala Harris etc are NOT AMERICAN:

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

No words can ever describe how massive the collective 2016 media’s failure of imagination was.

Oh for pity's sake with this. Are they now trying to deliberately increase the amount of homeless people? Why on earth?

Trump ranks among Trump's most damning critics of his war of choice (and distraction) in Iran.

I can't believe the party with a record of starting wars in the Middle East just started a war in the Middle East.
