Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces.

Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies.

Russia = our enemy πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί
Ukraine = our ally πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

We’re in an unwanted war in an age of seemingly limitless information, yet it’s safe to say the average American has no possible reliable clue what’s going on over there cuz our government that would share any information is wholly untrustworthy, staffed w/ liars lying for a pathological liar POTUS.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheehan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: β€œICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

This was one my my wife’s favorite songs, she’d always sing it at full volume lol

Every time it pops up on my playlist I feel like she’s talking to me, and it always comes up when I’m having a bad day and she always talks me through it like she used to πŸ₯°

"I just don't know enough about it, so I'm going make up an elaborate, drawn out explanation of a situation that explains how it wasn't us even if it looks like us so you can't say it was us." That's the logic of a 5 year old lying to get out of trouble. That's who's running this country. 😢

No, it wasn't! It seems she was being too polite, even though she caught hell for it. 🀣 She should have said, "Basket full'a hateful bastards!"

Have you noticed that MAGA is basically saying β€œ I don't care what the Epstein Files say.
I would rather have a pedophile rapist grifting the country than admit I was ever wrong."

And it's waaaaaaay past time for everyone on the left to get past that. Hillary was right from the BEGINNING. They are a basket of deplorables. They would NOT do better if they knew better. They don't care. They only hate. Let. Them. Go.

You see, it's 18-D Tic tac toe he's playing! He radicalized the people, to stifle the actual dissent, to overthrow the religious authoritarian, to elect a new religious authoritarian, to incite dissent, so the populous will uprise. Fucking brilliant. 🀯
