Hi folks I get that you hate Trump and I understand why, but the Islamic Republic of Iran constantly engages in this sort of malign behavior. It’s ok to acknowledge that, some people in the replies are looking for loopholes. The regime clearly violated the ceasefire, it’s what it does!

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Of course. If you were actually serious about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, you would have dropped the MOPs on Fordow with complete tactical surprise—without endlessly telegraphing for weeks what you might do and putting on a worldwide TV show about it.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Pete Hegseth: “Many presidents dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program & none could until President Trump.” Yes, Pete—Trump finally did what others wouldn’t: ignore intel, destabilize the region, & risk another endless war. Bold move if you’ve learned nothing in 20 years.

Could everyone stop with the Iraq War analogies? This is a different kind of crisis with distinct risks and strategic blunders from the US and its Iranian adversaries. Remaining analytically stuck in the world of 2003 is a sign of intellectual laziness.

ICE says masks are needed to prevent assaults. It says assaults & threats of assault are on the rise but their numbers are EXTREMELY fuzzy. But let's use some basic logic. We should not accept masked officers policing us. Masking is far more likely to INCREASE tensions than not. SHOW YOUR FACE.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Since I know how the United States Capitol Police (USCP) works, legislation needs to be introduced and passed that guarantees protection for all congressional representatives… which means that USCP should arrest and detain any DHS or other LE that assaults or attempts to detain any representative.

Alex Padilla being the guy who got cuffed puts an incredibly fine point on this. He became a senator precisely BECAUSE he is a mild-mannered engineer. Unlike a lot the rest of the Latino Democratic establishment that cut their teeth, he was not a flamethrower. He was a quiet nerdy kid.

I remember the old days like 6 months ago when MAGA accused Democrats of being warmongers for wanting to provide aid to Ukraine, claiming that the real motive for it was to use them to fight a proxy war against another country for US interests. I guess proxy wars are ok now.
