Go ahead and say the “quiet part” out loud - we have a complete incompetent leading our national security, which plays into #1 and #3 and not in a good way.
Our Intelligence community said they aren't a threat and they don't have and we're not working towards one either. I think that is accurate because it goes against Trump's assertions and he always lies about everything. Doesn't matter if it is big or small it is always a lie.
The U.S. has cried wolf the last 30 years about nukes in Iraq & Iran 👉🏻all BS. Now the little boy in the White House is screaming wolf. Who to believe, who to believe🤔
Good grief.. Armageddon. 🙄
Maybe he really is the man of lawlessness.
I'm glad my first TV memories were of Mighty Mouse and Sargent Preston of the Yukon.. Meaning, I'm old and have already lived most of my life in the best times of the best country on earth... at least then, it was.
Who went before congress in freakin 2002 and promised that there was ‘no doubt at all’ that Saddam was close to a bomb. Why anybody would believe him now is beyond me
For the 1st time in US or western history a CONVICTED FELON President has engaged in an ACT of WAR!It's beyond pathetic how low the USA under the Trump MAGA RINO Facist party has sunk.Now we know why Trump said he & Kim Yong Un fell in love.Herr Trump & Herr Miller should be tried for TREASON.
Arguably an act of WAR, eh? When's he bombing Greenland, Canada & seizing the Panama Canal?You are a citizen of the United States of Fascist War Mongers & may y'all rot in hell.
4. He’s doing this purposefully because we all demonstrated that we can come together as a collective group to fight his authoritarianism and he wants us to forget the power we hold by waging an unjust and illegal war
if Iran retaliates and American soldiers die I guarantee the GOP will blame Biden over it.
i imagine Trump thinks this is a one and done thing like killing of Qasem Soleimani, but he was in Iraq, this was an attack on Iran itself.
Trump has no idea what he is doing but hopefully US military does
Trumps already sending US Economy to a recession by Feb 26 before the bombing.
Hes going to crash the economy worse than Bush 2007. Trump never returned the Nuclear top secret docs he was charged with & maybe Putin has it and gave to Iran & N Korea.
Putin-Trumps Lose Lips Sinks Ships type of guy.
Arguably illegal? I don’t see how there is any argument - it was blatantly illegal, going against the constitution and Trump must be impeached. No ifs, no buts.
What's terrifying is that if Iran's Ayatollah declares war on US... and there are any radicalized people on US soil...
They going to be able to put on a mask, carry a weaponm abduct people and what not...
Because that behavior is ok'd by Federal Gov, no questions asked.
The news about the ice raids, his low ratings and anger at the economy is why he did this as distraction from his ill fated destructive administration. He needed this to improve his ratings after the June 14th disaster birthday. It will only make people angrier now.
Once, I told a colleague that taking out Saddam Husain was justified whether or not there were WMD. But then he asked me to consider whether we made the world safer by doing that. History has shown the answer is "no". Same here. There will dangerous repercussions that we cannot predict. Stupid move.
i dunno, Hussein was uniquely malevolent. he slaughtered Kurds, invaded Kuwait, invaded Iran. our mistake was in trying to remake Iraq, had we simply told Iraq military they can still rule provided they turn over Hussein early on 99% of bad things would never have happened.
Uniquely malevolent, indeed. And that is exactly how he kept the MidEast stable -- they all 'respected'(feared) SH bc they knew he was a horrendous madman
The invasions of Iran and Kuwait hardly kept Mideast stable. It is like saying Putin keeps Europe stable. Not saying we should have invaded just that his elimination on its own was good
Not true at all. 9/11 happened because US forces were stationed in Saudi Arabia, which provoked OBL to do the attack. Had there been no Saddam there would have been no 9/11, no Kuwait, Iran, he was a cancer on ME. In any event he is dead now so counterfactuals are meaningless
Trump needs to be removed and impeached! He violated the War Powers Resolution of 1973! The bombing of Iran was a declaration of war because Iran is a sovereign nation! The President can only bomb without Congress if WE were attacked, and we were not! He needs to be removed immediately
That’s short term stuff, Trump’s legacy for our future overseas will be covert and unexpected bombings, hostage or killing of US civilians, the long term damage is yet to be known, not just in the ME., but in places like Indonesia, Pakistan etc.
Even if it were justified, nothing this president touches will go well. What we should do about Iran is the same thing we should do about every issue: 8647
What are our "normal" allies saying? What does the rest of NATO say? As the public, we can't believe our own intelligence community because they have been neutered and replaced with loyalists more focused on politics than safety.
This take is an application of pseudo intellectualism masking the obvious. That’s the problem with punditry like this. It ignores the obvious in an attempt to appear to be informed and measured. In no universe does us attacking Iran now make sense. Trump doesn’t make decisions based on intel.
While this is happening, let's not forget the terrible overreach by ICE and trump's military march into our cities. #donaldtrump is violating the whole BILL of Citizen Rights.
United States ALREADY tagged as International Human Rights violators. Now, Trump has United States tagged as International War criminal, via Trump NOT seeking bombing permissions via Congress. And so far responsibility lands on Trump!! #TheHague
Horseshoe theory exhibit A:
Extreme ends of the right-wing and the left-wing meeting in a perfect accord of “America First” — against bombing nuclear facilities (!) of an aggressive fascist theocracy.
You tear up an agreement that was working - then you couldn’t negotiate your way out of a paper bag - now you drop a bomb when your own people don’t agree with your assessment! It’s insane
… Enter China!?
Taiwan? South China Sea? Fleet “Moved” to Persian Gulf!
Russia?
Iran had to “receive?” “Something?” For the drones & munitions shipped?
Safety of U.S. BASES!?
Project 2025 has DECIMATED what was The Preeminent GOVERNMENT!?
“Homeland Security”?
Good Luck!?
Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm not a lawyer.
Didn't SCOTUS say that Trump doesn't have to tell us why & we aren't allowed to ask or request proof for any explanation bc he has immunity for things that are related to the real duties of a President? Is this a SEAL team 6? What are the bounds of immunity?
He does not have immunity for anything he does. The Supreme Court ruled that presidents have absolute immunity for acts within their core constitutional duties, presumptive immunity for official acts within the outer limits of their duties, and no immunity for unofficial acts.
Hahahahahahahaha. Sweet summer innocent thing. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy are not real even though white men wrote stories about them too.
If we ever get a credible BDA and until then, just bluster GBU 57 requires a B2 and that would be max payload. How many B2 s were deployed is how many were dropped, if any
All intelligence purportedly said there was no justification. Netanyahu and now Trump need to stand trial for war crimes. Trump needs to be impeached immediately or at least removed under the 25th Amendment.
trump YOU FUCKING FOOL
congress YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
republicans YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES
You have no fucking idea what your have done.
History will send you to HELL where you belong.
dealing with the US (especially, but not limited to this administration) is like confronting a toddler with a loaded handgun. People tiptoe around you. The slightest irrational provocation can get you killed (or otherwise eliminated). Who is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of civilians
IF Kamala had done the same thing, it would be after rational and reasonable consideration, involving all pertinent intelligence, etc. See the difference?
No, we're not sure. When Felon was bragging away, like there was no tomorrow, about strike on Syria, it was a staged/coordinated with Russkies nothing-dud. No amount of AI "proofs" from TrumpRegime will convince me it happened, only indep. non-media confirm or Iranian reaction.
The intelligence community has been reduced to sycophants who would never give the fuhrer bad news. I think the odds that Iran’s first retaliatory strike will be electronic are pretty high, and we’re unprepared for that now.
Very important to remember all of this stuff… When Donald Trump comes out in an hour and talks about how perfect all of the airstrikes were and what an amazing success this was.
I don’t know what the right answer with this attack. My concern is the dismantling of cyber defense, gutting of the federal government and refocusing of our counter terrorism units at the federal level has made us weakened for what this decision will likely produce!
He withdrew from the JCPOA! Iran was allowed to enrich uranium up to 3.67% purity, which is not sufficient for producing nuclear weapons. This one’s on TRUMP!! 😡
He was praising the teamwork between him & Bibi. Makes me wonder if they have plans for condos in Iran like they’ve plotted for in Gaza. Money & staying out of prison is all either of them cares about.
…and which pronouncements from this administration or its intelligence agencies would you give credibility to?
This is likely motivated by an Israeli Intelligence assessment, not US, and any post attack assessment by ours will be done just to make Trump look good and proclaim it a success.
So Trump got his Big Beautiful Boom—no clue what the fallout will be, but rest assured, the chaos is the point. While everyone’s staring at the smoke, keep an eye on the sleight of hand: more domestic power grabs coming right up. Distraction isn’t just a byproduct—it’s the whole strategy.
omg and now trump is going to look for support from our allies, you know they ones he has disrespected for the last what, 5 months? Imagine what all has happened in such a short time, unbelievable, when no nothing unqualified goons are put into position by trump to run this country, most dangerous
With NO CONGRESSIONAL vote! It’s a shit show with kow towing congress who have enabled this ability to go above the law and strike another country, since trump is ABOVE the law.
WELL I’M PRETTY SURE THAT THERE WILL BE NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOUND, OTHER THAN THE JEWS THAT OWN AMERICA CONVINCED THE CLOWN TO DO IT ON THEIR BEHALF!
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY COMING UP FOR AMERICA!
Imagine Iran says the strikes totally eliminated all of their nuclear weapons program. Trump's ego would not allow him to refute that. War averted, easy peasy.
Impossible to trust anything Trump, Hesgeth, or any of the orange guy's minions tell us. We're not going to get a guided tour of the underground facility Trump targeted. They can say whatever they want.
Good George to refer to the lawlessness of Trump and his administration, but this will have a global impact. The Netherlands will be the bullseye for Iranian retaliation during next’s week NATO summit. Article 5 should not apply to US now that it has started unilateral hostilities.
And who allowed this criminal enterprise to act with impunity? SCOTUS and their dangerous, fucked up delusional theory of a unitary executive. Any Republican lawyers want to comment on that?
Sooo many things are gone bad for him. Poll numbers , No Kings Protests, Epstein, inflation, failure of tariffs, Republicans going against him, podcasters speaking out against him, his health crisis coming out, Musk….. what a tangled web he has spun.
There is enough publicly available information to say it is a near certainty that US bases in Iraq and Syria will now be attacked by Iran and its proxies. American soldiers will now pay in blood, with no guarantee of success, for something Obama achieved through diplomacy. Trump betrayed America.
Probably not, last week they weren't. Which shows who made this decision without much input. He will be the one who decided, not others. I can't believe military took the order knowing it was unconstitutional.
Since this is E X A C T L Y as Seymour Hersh predicted a couple of days ago, his additional reporting should get even greater attention. He says that the goal is regime change, not just stopping the nuke program and US/Israel are arguing over "moderate cleric" vs "puppet" replacement.
👆 plus if the goal was to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon that's only been delayed. Iran has already admitted it moved it's stockpile. It was reported before #WeakManTrump bombed Iran that the US had lost track of the material. The Yahoo in Israel conned "#ConmanTrump" to bomb Iran
More observations:
1) Khameni has repeatedly called for the physical destruction/elimination of Israel.
2) There is no use for U235 60% enrichment other than nuclear weaponry
3) Khameni controls missiles able to deliver such a weapon that can reach Israel in minutes
Israel had already done a lot of damage setting the Iran nuclear abilities back by months if not years.
So why now?
Trump is unstable and a liar.
In his tweet he said a payload of bombs was dropped.
Now is the time for Peace.
He’s trying to be both arsonist and firefighter.
Embarrassing
The difference is, Trump's used to battering children and women who could not fight back. Now he's picked a fight with crazed religious men who will fight back with guerilla tactics
Trump violated the US Constitution by bombing Iran without congressional authorization. Trump now is pretty much ignoring the Constitution all the time.
Make no mistake. The president ordered shots fired, when America was not under any sort of attack. You need 3 GOP to join with the Democrats to bring impeachment. It must be done ASAP!
Thomas Massie just declared it unconstitutional. Just a hard right guy. The momentum will build. America can't afford to get involved in Iran. It'll be worse than Afghanistan and Iraq combined.
I don't think so, but I do wish that was the case. I think MAGA would gladly ride this train all the way to hell with Trump at the wheel screaming "Follow me, boys!"
How will anyone ever have accurate intelligence? There is no integrity/reliability in the information now. That's what happens when everyone is lying all the time about everything and is out to serve only his/her own selfish interests.
It will be a very bad sign if Iran invites nuclear experts to inspect the sites that were hit, they will do that if these strikes caused environmental damage.
I don’t think the community was lying when they assessed Iran as not actively pursuing a weapon two weeks ago. It was politically very inconvenient, so it was probably true.
Ummmm NOPE! There is absolutely no ‘wisdom’ in this impulsive and cowardly act that makes every single American less safe and fundamentally makes it more likely that rogue states will be more determined to pursue nuclear weapons. It also further reduces international trust in USA at a terrible time
We demand an unconditional surrender before declaring war. Now we immediately declare victory. I hope this turns out better than his parade and the GOPs previous ME wars
But as stupid as this is don’t let it totally distract from Gaza, from the disastrous GOP budget bill ?BBB), or from ice raids on immigrants, or from military troops in our streets. Trump wants America so overwhelmed that we give up paying attention. DO NOT
DO THAT!

Trump is full on King of the US and the Republican party has been the party of Putin they are no longer a US party.
WMD pt. deux.
Trump’s ego, battling his many recent personal humiliations, decided a powerful distraction was in order - eff Tulsi!
No excuses!!!
He has a HUGE BUNKER under our White House & he’s already pushing 80 yrs old!
It’s all of US who will have to deal with that IDIOTS EGOMANIAC ACTIONS!
Iran most likely is a paper tiger and can't defend itself which is why Israel went in. Trump then piled on, just because, well, he's Trump.
Now, ALL OF US are in real danger. Who knows how many Shiite terror cells are lurking in American cities.

Dt 2.0 believed Netanyahu rather than US national security experts.
I don't see Netanyahu defending the approximately 40,000 US troops we have in the ME on land & sea.

Are republicans finally going to stand up?

Are we sure something has happened?
Dude lies all the time. I need independent confirmation with video or it didn’t happen.

It has been known for years that Trump was easy to manipulate by some foreign leaders and Bibi surely used him.
1) Khameni has repeatedly called for the physical destruction/elimination of Israel.
2) There is no use for U235 60% enrichment other than nuclear weaponry
3) Khameni controls missiles able to deliver such a weapon that can reach Israel in minutes
