US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”
US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”
Maybe it’s just me but WTAF did I just read? It makes no GD sense. 😵💫
WTAF did I just read. 😵💫
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
George Washington and Jesus bemoan that people didn’t listen to them
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
These people need to stop volunteering to go to war for other countries. Last I checked- most people don’t want to go to war- and I keep reading that trumpers voted for him bc he said he wouldn’t go to war. But I guess they don’t mind being lied to.
I think “fixed” is the better description.
@atrupar.com thank you!
What the heck is he talking about.
😧 and the lives lost.
Venom Horse is the Best. Thing. Ever.
Scary. Sadly it feels hopeless and like there is nothing we can do about any of this. Even midterms- he is learning from the dictator rule book and would just cancel elections. You might say oh people wouldn’t stand for that but look how much scotus panders to him. It’s all very grim in my opinion.
😬
So according to the interwebs- a draft would have to be enacted by congress and the president. But congress has no back bone so couldn’t hypothetically trump just do whatever he pleases if he wanted to start one? I’m not talking about logistically because logic doesn’t matter much anymore.
Just my 2 cents but if the administration pushes and passes the Save America Act and creates barriers or inability for women to vote (I do not think) they will like the outcome. We don’t live in 1950s America anymore where women “serve” men- WE keep society running just as much as anyone else.
I’m so sorry- that sounds awful. I am dreading the day I ever get shingles since I’m too young for the vax.
Fuck this guy.

Gotta love the mute button to block out the crazies.
I feel like I missed something in this thread bc I have no idea how maga got brought into a discussion about the chicken pox vax.
I managed to get chicken pox in ‘93 just before the vaccines in ‘94 ☹️
‘87 here
Everyone one in that room has had chicken box. I missed the vaccines by a year or two and all those people are older than me.
I like the squid dress more than whatever Kristen Bell is wearing— or not wearing.
Amen. 😢😭
War cannot bring peace and killing kids is not ok- such as their bombing an all-girls school. How can MAGA support this? Pro-life my @ss.
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
