Trump's "fuckin'" Easter post and his genocidal maniac threat have changed the politics of the Iran war. Democrats made a symbolic effort to force a War Powers vote during a pro forma House session today. Sure, no impact. But they wouldn't have tried otherwise www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Trump's address: "No one in America, after listening to that speech, knows whether we are escalating or deescalating. In fairness, though, neither does our President. He seems to be making this up day by day, and that's just catastrophic for American security." 🔥
