As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
For this administration, it’s not about doing good, it’s about looking good...even when American lives are on the line.
Welcome to Trump’s MAGA Policies. A Third of Americans Have Cut Spending or Borrowed Money for Health Care.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

Russia, and Trump's friend Putin, is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
If this is the selected file the DOJ released image what they are still hiding. Trump is a pedophile.
Release all the Epstein files!
Former editor here: "Imminent" means "likely to occur at any moment." There's no such thing as 47 years of imminent.
