🍊💩 removed the sanctions that prevented them from profiting. Their oil is now on the open market. They are making billions. Iran has shown over the decades, they are more content to wait, to take large casualties, to suffer for a “ultimate” goal. They are much stronger now than 3 months ago.

LMAO, THAT WILL BACKFIRE REAL FAST! TOO MUCH PUBLIC FACING EVIDENCE

While I understand the Epstein Issue right now Congress needs to focus on Things for the American people Not just a group of victims who have been denied justice for so long it's Disgusting. Urgent matters needs to consume the time of this Congress first.

Democratic voters want their leaders to fight so please support them when they fight back against this obvious effort to cheat. This midterm election may be the most important election in our lives as a democracy. Fighting back with words will not get the job done. Only Americans voting will.

The ballot measure in Virginia can go either way. Florida is waiting on the outcome to determine whether they're going to go forward with their redistricting. Virginia's map would only counter GOP Gerrymandered seats. It would not result in giving Democrats an unfair advantage. I hope it passes.

His signature on the executive order had his last name much longer than his first name. I also don't understand how the p in Trump's signature has a higher stroke than the first letters of both of his names. Is it an exclamation point?

Did anyone catch him signing the executive order about psychedelics. First check out his signature and tell me whether that signature looks right. Next listen to him asking to Try them himself. Honestly Given his erratic behavior would we even know the difference whether he took them or not.

Trump and hegseth are bad enough without saddling them with the deaths of a 160 young girls. Trump's hatred towards non loyalists expertise & Elon Musk's DOGE hollowed out the people who were needed to provide updated intelligence on military targets. THAT'S WHY THE GIRLS WERE KILLED.

Just about everything that the GOP has stood for has been abandoned under Trump, with the sole exception of giving tax breaks to the very richest among us. I truly hope that the working class republicans in our country wake up someday to the reality of who the GOP truly supports & protects. SOMEDAY

One glaring example about the GOP is their stance on fiscal responsibility. They are only concerned about spending when a democrat is in office. The largest budgets & spending in the past 50 years has been under GOP administrations So even in the best of times you really can't trust them, CAN YOU

I honestly don't care or didn't whether you had a D or an R after your name What I cared about is what your values were and what you stood for. The GOP have shown themselves to be cowards unwilling to stand up for what they truly believe because they value their jobs more than the country.

I am such a nerd That I listened to confirmation hearings and Supreme Court hearings because I wanna understand the facts and not just accept the outcome. Senator McCormick Spoke highly of Walsh but since the GOP have lost their spines and principles how much can I really regard his testimony.

Trump and the GOP are not behaving as though the midterms will be A crushing defeat. I believe that they're laying out the pretext needed to seize ballots & voting machine. Legally I don't understand how they have the right since it's State Jurisdictions to determine outcomes. Feds CAN'T!

I believe that working class voters are beginning to wake up to the fact that Republicans will never pass legislation that will improve their lives. The only legislation that they passed was to cut support benefit programs in order to give tax cuts to the rich...AGAIN!

I disagree. Stopping Iran from profiting from their closure of the Strait is probably the most strategic thing that they have done. Iran's strategy has been time, to simply survive. This action potentialy shifts the time strategy In our favor. As long as Trump is patient enough to see it through.

Trump has been itching to use a Nuclear bomb. In his 1st administration they had to explain why using it was not a good idea. Now that he's cornered, I can imagine him seeing it as a way to settle the war with Iran using his authority alone. AM I WRONG?

Good luck mark Elias God bless you for your work.

None of the objectives can be achieved without ground troops. The Israelis cannot accept Iran to stay in power stronger than it was nor can other Middle Eastern states who are all pushing Trump to finish what he started. Unfortunately Trump is the wrong President to get the job done.

It is so sad that they are going after this girl who sacrificed a lot to tell the truth. She is not a rich person nor from a rich family so this is going to be a devastating Financial Burden to defend herself. I will keep out an eye for fund pages for her

This is the smartest move he's made in this stupid war.

Oh yeah Vance was definitely set up to fail. How the hell did he expect to get anything positive in that short amount of time. Trump at the UFC fight was not exactly a good sign. Trump recently posted that they are planning a blockade of the strait which is probably the smartest thing he's done.

I truly hate this crackpot. Trump's obsession with the kennedys put this jerk in charge of our health system and he has destroyed it. The CDC is gone people.

With Putin and Trump backing orban I wonder whether we will see a preview of how trunk plans too steal the midterm elections. I believe that orban will lose so What the major power influences advise him to do will be an interesting development to say the least.

OK send me the link please

Yeah,I remember many of his Surrogates Pushing that narrative how funny is that. It's Unbelievable that he went back on just about everything he promised.

@fierygran.bsky.social I read your intro and I related to so much of what you said. I feel the same way about animals as you do. As I've gotten older I've had less patience with people and their nonsense.

@stmichael5.bsky.social I read your intro about creating a search engine. Wow really that's quite an accomplishment.

Also I don't give a hoot about JD Vance he was hated as the vice president and I can't imagine him being liked any better as a presidential candidate.

The plan may be however to allow them to Charge tolls in the short-term while the international community gets their act together to stop it. The international community cannot allow a country like Iran to seize international waters because other countries will do the same.

JD is being set up to fail period. The United States cannot agree to a peace plan that includes Iran keeping nuclear material and capability and their control over the Strait. Those two points are non-negotiable. Anything less would be absurd.

Sorry to tell you but the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the last piece of that legislation. The conservatives on the court have been hostile to the voting rights act Before sitting on the Supreme Court. Their reason is that Racism isn't a problem anymore. REALLY?

When you are in the public eye you Do not get the presumption of innocence like other people. Instead there is an assumption of guilt and you are to prove your innocence. While I do believe he should exit the gubernatorial race I do not support him resigning or being forced out of Congress.

Wait he said in a new spray that the government needs to use taxpayer money to defend the country not support Medicare medicaid and childcare. I was surprised that social security was left out of the list. GOPR already targeting health care to pay for the war. I'm not surprised, are you?

It really bothers me how effective reactionaries like Jonathan Haidt have been at convincing the median center-left reader that the internet itself is somehow filled with evil magic by its very nature instead of the truth, which is that it has been used to exploit children by Mark Zuckerberg

Why is anyone surprised? If We've learned anything about Trump we need to watch what he does not listen to what he says. This is no different than his campaign against mailing voting. How has he voted in 99.9% of the elections he voted by mail. He's able to tell people lies & they believe him.

Trump cannot agree to allow Iran to charge a toll when going through the straight because it is an international waterway. The international community is not going to allow the United States to dictate terms that they all have to live by.

The situation in Iran is dire but I do not want the conflict to go on under this administration. The people who are in control Do not have the Competence and strategic skill to wage this war properly. I believe ground troops will be needed to correct this mess, But not with this administration.

It’s sad that they care what this demented old fool says.

That's why the Republicans are trying to con people into not working together, divided we fall.

Maybe the woman who has accused Trump of raping her when she was 13 years old has had the opportunity to speak to Melania Perhaps Melania is disgusted And freaked out enough To expose Trump. If Trump is acting this crazy in public imagine what he's putting her through in private

GOP PRESIDING OVER THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR: Constitutional Order, Geo Political Global Standing, NATO Alliance, Free Speech, Independent Media, DOJ, FBI, Military Standards, Immigration, Separation Church & State, Healthcare, All Social Safety Net Programs, RAMPANT CORRUPTION, EXPLODING NATIONAL DEBT

This could be it because they would have actual recordings. She would not have done this if it was just another story. Something that can be confirmed is about to be released and she is trying to get ahead of it. It has to be something pretty bad can't wait to find out.

This press conference By the first lady has to be an attempt to get in front of a really bad story that is about to come out. That's the only thing that makes sense because Melania Has not been Central to any of the public Epstein narratives so something is about to hit the news.

Oh boy baby is so cute

Ready for winter

We still need to have an overwhelming turnout in order to stop Trump and the Republicans from trying to steal the election. Close races will be decided by-election lies. You have not seen Trump and the GOP at their absolute worse yet but it's coming
