“No one is disputing that Iran has been a bad actor. But the civilian leadership of our country owes it to our servicemembers and their families that we will only send them into harm’s way if it is absolutely necessary—and that if we do, we will have clear objectives and a plan that has been fully thought through,” said Senator Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. “The President and his Administration’s changing and contradictory statements underscore that they rushed into a war without thinking of the consequences that this will have for the American people, our economy, and stability in the region.

“My colleagues’ failure to pass our bipartisan War Powers Resolution adds to a dangerous pattern of Congress ceding our constitutional duties to an increasingly erratic President. How are we supposed to look our constituents in the eyes and send our sons and daughters into war if we aren’t willing to take this most solemn responsibility seriously? I pray for the families whose loved ones will never come home and hope that this war will not turn into another endless conflict.”

My statement slamming the Senate’s failure to pass my bipartisan War Powers Resolution that would have stopped President Donald Trump’s illegal, unnecessary war with Iran:

Similar principles apply. 😉

No, that looked like peeps here Western North Carolina! 😆

And when politicians promise miracles, you believe—because a lottery ticket or a miracle sure looks like the only way out.

The truth is, it’s hard to be beautiful when you’re poor. When your parents couldn’t afford dental care for you (this was true for someone I love) and you can’t afford it for your own children. When working your fingers to the bone isn’t just a phrase.

Time to retrieve the Star Trek pin I wore during business meetings. “Beam me up, Scotty. Please.”

Please take away her Chat GPT.

Meth maybe. Haven’t seen scurvy here though. I mean coleslaw goes with everything.

So, nations that abandoned pennies, what did you do with all of them? I think children should adopt them as an underground economy. With the caveat that it might encourage penny ante gambling…

You’d think they’d follow and learn, for Pete’s sake.

YOU MUST NOT RESIST YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS

I received this reply from Ted Budd, one of my senators: “As your Senator and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am committed to prioritizing our nation’s defense and responding to our adversaries around the world.

“Disregard for human life.” Appalling hypocrisy.

To this end, I have supported legislation to impose expanded sanctions on the Iranian regime. I have also expressed support for the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic government and condemned the Iranian regimes acts of terrorism and disregard for human life.”

Beauty is as beauty does, as my mother often reminded me.

My brother-in-law is an excellent cook, but he has no idea how to use ordinary cookware. My poor little frying pan will never be the same.

Utter bullshit. My husband and I aren’t rich, but we don’t count pennies at the supermarket; poor people have to, whether they use food stamps or not. They can’t save money by buying in bulk because there’s money for the month only. THEY live in the real world, and suffer its indignities.

Exploitation is a ancient skill, then.

You don’t understand: There can be no victory. Not for us, not for Iranians. Every minute spent on this war kills more innocents and inspires more hatred of Americans. STOP the war. IMPEACH the man who launched it with no provocation, no intelligence, no authority.

When I subscribed to the Post I read Thiessen for the comic relief in the reader comments. He himself is a joke, however, and not a very good one at that.

PLEASE work with your colleagues to shut this down. It is truly horrifying. Trump is practically begging ANYONE to say NO to him. Do it.

I can’t stop it, but as a member of Congress, YOU can. I will not vote for ANY candidate, Democrat or otherwise, who does not take immediate action to end this illegal war and bring a lawless administration to heel.

I wrote: Killing children and destroying houses of worship is not going to free the Iranian people or make them “grateful.” The American people hate this immoral war.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already taken the lives of US servicemembers and at least 1,000 Iranian civilians. It has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes,...

I can buy the Olay. I cannot buy a version of my husband who knows how to take a flattering photo of me. (Assuming such a thing is possible.)

Apparently reading is an archaic skill.

Well, luckily we have a *checks notes* prepubescent boychild who wasn't even alive during 9/11 overseeing terror prevention efforts here in the United States. You can tell he's gonna get the job done by the super-serious eyebrow arch. No terrorism will pass by that vigilant caterpillar.
