Good morning and a reminder Donald Trump is mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files and none of those mentions is an exoneration.

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"

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

MAGA voters: “I picked Trump because he’s a clear, decisive leader. “

Trump: “I don’t know. I guess we went to war because my son in-law said Iran might attack us.”

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

The War is highly unpopular, yet Congress voted to not require the President to appear befor Congress and explain the rationale for the War. This is good evidence that your Congressional representatives do not represent their constituants but, rather, represent some minority interest.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

The US-Israel war on Iran's impact is spreading beyond the battlefield. Rising fuel prices are driving up costs for food, deliveries and flights, adding inflation pressure and potentially pushing interest rates higher.

Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi have been charged with committing a heinous act of terrorism and proclaiming their allegiance to ISIS.

They should be held fully accountable for their actions.

We will continue to keep New Yorkers safe. We will not tolerate terrorism or violence in our city.

The reason Israel buys our politicians is so that leaders who are supposed to serve US, do Israel’s bidding instead.

Netanyahu has had a hard on to attack Iran for DECADES. And every previous POTUS, both Dems and Repubs, knew better than to let a blood thirsty zealot pull us into the kind of folly

The President of the United States is a pedophile, and the military has no problem with double-tapping a school in Iran, killing mostly children. If this isn't an indictment of the moral nihilism of this era, I don't know what the fuck is.

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

Trump suggests he my not reimpose oil sanctions on Russia after the Iran war:

"We're going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out. Who knows - maybe we won't have to put them [back] on, they'll be so much peace."

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?

TRUMP: You could say both.

Yikes! It's even stupider than my parody version of his comments!
