The United States is allowing money to flow to a government that may be helping kill American soldiers.

Read that again. Not as a conspiracy theory. Not as anti-war rhetoric. As a description of current American policy.

When the Emperor Has No Strategy Trump’s Iran Disaster in Real Time

ararubyan.substack.com/p/when-the-e...

Donald Trump’s war on Iran has arrived as something genuinely new in modern American history: a military conflict that the public rejected before the first bomb finished falling.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

More blunt? That hardly seems possible! 😜 😂

I'm confused. What are you trying to say here?

Who?

I highly favor ICE be the first boots on the ground in Iran! They already have training and gear so getting them there quickly is a great idea!

Truth is we have NO IDEA who those people are. White nationalists? Proud Boys? Klan? Nazis? and a cohort of street criminals in ICE drag randomly assaulting people and robbing them?! JFC wake up people!

When even the billionaires think the corruption has gone too far. I think it's safe to add it to your message for the midterms Dems

The Epstein Files is now the MAGA Bible.

I've heard that ticket sales are, ahem, "soft"

A vote for ANY Republican IS a vote for Trump. There is no light between them. They don’t think for themselves. They obey his dangerous whims without question. I know I won’t be alone connecting them together ahead of the election. I just didn’t think Trump would be helping us do it! Thanks bruh! 🤷‍♂️😆

While this is a good start, I think there needs to be something in the new law about ICE not targeting legal immigrants without criminal records, and making clear what the mission is.

We have to attack the outrageous fiction that Trump-Miller are targeting only criminal migrants.

Open your eyes, you looking right at him! #SheShed

So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

Here's what it was like the on the ground this morning in Louisiana. We stand with you!

Except for the ratings, this is 100% FAKE by volume.

oh ok wait what HE BOUGHT THIS?

Betcha they get a bounty on every one they arrest and detain.

When this is all over someday, it’ll probably turn out that these guys were basically just bounty hunters, paid by how many people they could arrest and detain.

Don’t laugh: If this ever winds its way up to the Supreme Court, they’ll probably rule affordable housing policies to be unconstitutional.
