They'll come at you with some "statistic" like "abortion kills millions of babies." They might admit that what happened to those children in Iran is tragic. But I think they see death from poor health/maternal care, wars, poverty, and guns as colletaral damage in the war to save millions of babies.

Murphy: “I think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school — I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war — I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”
This experiment of putting the worst people in charge of government should be over.

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.
America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”
Lawless people enforcing the law.

"Abolish ICE" is, very literally, the moderate position

Even putting aside the implications for the laws of war, someone who describes mass killing in this way is not well, nor is the society that empowers that person to kill.
When a Cobra Kai becomes Secretary of Defense.
Surprised he didn't have a hype man behind him chortling and yelling "Get him a body bag!"
So we're killing countless people and sacrificing our own military members to save one convicted felon pedophile whose health is failing anyway?
I prefer Saving Private Ryan to Saving Cadet Bonespurs.
They had a concept of a plan.
It just didn't include airspace closures.
Who could have predicted airspace closures?
He's not a fortune teller!
God.
We should wrap the caskets in his golden drapes instead of American flags to remind everyone who's responsible for their deaths.
What an awful excuse for a human being.
It's only an act of war if it comes from Japan. If it's from the U.S., it's just a sparkling strategic strike.
To reconsider a fundamental of American history, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war, but merely a strategic strike. It needs to no longer live in infamy, perhaps.
"Not exactly" is not a no.
White washing history.

Fucking irresponsible warmongering morons are running this country.
If history has taught us anything, it's that killing an awful ruler and creating a power vacuum never results in a more evil person taking over.

But I thought mission was already accomplished.
Donald Trump in 2012:
"Lawful purpose" say the people engaged into indiscriminate extrajudicial killings.
