There will be such a huge need to repair the military’s respect for humanity once this bs is over.

Trump's Pentagon Caught Hiding Casualties as War Escalates Iran planting mines in Strait of Hormuz, senator warns boots on the ground could be coming soon, DOGE worker steals Social Security data

Let’s be honest folks. I’d rather have a “woke” military than a dishonest Christo-fascist one. At least we would be timely given the facts rather than having the bad news suppressed and failures to admit and apologize for errant missiles killing school children.

The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement The commander-in-chief is unfit for duty

It is well past time when our news agencies ought to be reporting the fact that we have a sick, deranged man who has led us into a war.

In what world is it OK to have a SecDef who is a moron but loyal and sycophantic lead a war with no plan triggered by a deranged maniac based on a feeling?

The Con Trump Used to Attempt to Hide How He's Rewarding Russia for Helping Iran Target Americans - emptywheel Americans deserve to know whether Russian targeting assistance helped kill Benjamin Pennington before Trump rewards Vladimir Putin for his own strategic idiocy.

Folks, it’s becoming ery clear that Russia gave Iran targeting data for our outposts in Middle East and as retaliation, Felon 47 took away sanctions against Russia. Do those doubting Felon 47 is a Russian agent still have doubts?

Trump’s War Story Falls Apart After Damning New Video Pentagon Pete has been avoiding the question, and evidence that Trump is wrong is now mounting.

“In my opinion. . .” Felon 47 lies when he purports to spout facts Imagine the veracity when he’s announcing opinions. When you break it, you own it.

Top Democrat Turns The Tables And Takes Back Patriotism By Opposing Iran War Funding Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued that anyone who truly supports the troops needs to vote against funding Trump's Iran war.

No more than 3 weeks ago, there was reporting that the Pentagon could not figure out how to spend a large portion of the allocation from the last reconciliation bill. Surely, they don’t need more.

Yep. But this too will pass.

Very unlikely especially if Felon 47 is one of them.

I thought there was reporting from as little as 3 weeks ago saying that the Pentagon was having trouble deciding how to spend a substantial part of the $900B.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding

This is gross and exactly what happens when the abysmally qualified Whiskey Pete is running his non-Woke war. Jail him before it’s too late.

I don’t know how one can say that either. Moreover, we have reportedly demolished a desalination plant serving 30 villages. Surely a war crime.
