Trump said, "I want to just thank everybody and in particular, God, and I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military, protect them. God bless the middle east."
Mathew 7:15 - Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
My feeling on the mention of 'god' as you wrote it & he said it, is more of a 'sigh of relief' that they pulled it off, making his premature tweet true. And being able to flout the lies of 'complete success' without a damage assessment. Imagine if something went wrong...
Disappointed by Van Hollen's unconditional support for Israel. The Democrats need to find a spine and set red lines. I feel many would say, as I would, that we have far crossed any line to morally support that regime.
Trump will go to great lengths to save, or elevate himself. He is a narcissistic sociopath who cannot care about another living soul. I suspect this action was either to distract from something terrible that’s going on (that we have not yet heard about) or to improve his image.
I haven't read the whole thing- but it's SO GOOD to see mention of the flop parade! Was he just mad about that, about No Kings success, and then flattered by Bibi's FauxNews appearance?
He got played, no doubt. What's Kush &his daughter up to?
Agree on that too, felon got conned by Bibi. While reading articles on this, which is pure speculation as Roldofo(sp) says; Iran has no interest in 'talks'.
This 'ego acting' felon has f'd us all and it is purely on him.
Sadly, we will never see the devastating truth.
Trump did this to show just how powerful our military can be - he was embarrassed by his 'parade' and this was the perfect way to stick it to all of us who protested against him. This is retaliatory stuff against Americans. The benefit that it aided Israel and hurt Iran was just a bonus benefit.
And the bombs failed to. Nations were afraid of USA when they thought we had a big bad bomb. But no nukes in Iran were destroyed. No one is afraid now and Russia is now threatening USA with nukes and Trump is daring him to do it.
The Onion nails it. Perfect timing!
"Over the grand expanse of American history, there have been countless lawmakers who managed to summon up their complete lack of backbone and do the easy thing...Never forget: You stand on the shoulders of spineless giants."
On at least 125 occasions the president has acted without prior express military authorization from congress. If congress wants to limit this power they should pass something more constrained than the war powers resolution.
I'm convinced he did it to please Bibi and to bury the domestic news cycle. But this, too, has a news cycle and he won't do anything to make matters better in the next few days. So of course, he'll have to bomb someone else...
Felon took intelligence advice from Bibi instead of DNI and refuses to go to Intel briefings. If felon wouldn't have ended inspections they would have known Iran was moving uranium.
What a guy....
Dear HCR,
I love how you have put as your comment whether or not to “read before bed“.
I don’t make that decision. I read you first thing in the AM. Pick up my phone, look at the time, read your letter. You give us facts in a world that is increasingly becoming fictionalized and not in a good way.
Like George Conway said: "Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.”
Back in 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor without first making a formal declaration of war. We understandably took it as a moral outrage, and it became a source of pride to mobilize every bit of our anger against them.
And now, we've bombed Iran without first making a formal declaration of war...
We, US, are not at war, Isreal is...
There was no imminent threat of a nuclear bomb on US nor Isreal.
It's always about 'firsts' & 'ego' with felon.
Bibi conned the con...
Dr. Richardson, I have a question. In times past, when an authoritarian leader was rising in power, were there victories from the courts or legislature, or was the consolidation of power immediate? Wondering if the wins we are seeing from the courts should give us optimism?

But two-week Don, the TACO president, sure showed them. The man who is too weak to take criticism and name-calling in stride, even though he does it relentlessly to others, the man who acts impulsively when challenged,
I do not trust this Trump Regime nor his bag of Nut-Jobs AND I don’t trust the Iranian Regime. I had doubts this dip-wad had even given the order to attack Iranian Nuclear Enrichment sites.
We don’t know what we don’t know. Did Iran have a Nuclear Weapons Program? Probably, and Probably Not. UN Inspectors have not entered any of their enrichment sites since before Trump 1.0. Did the US have people on the ground monitoring the ins and outs of every Enrichment site?
We don’t know. So, how can we and the media speculate what they have or didn’t have. Did the Israelis have Mossad agents in Iran monitoring these sites? We don’t know that either. For the US dip-shit Media to speculate, well they guess on speculating.
Though it offers incredibly humorous satire, the Onion often nails a "story" that perfectly mimics current events. It's a guarantee, however, that nearly every Congressperson will not realize or accept that they are the joke if they decide to read it.
This seems orchestrated to set off a false flag domestic terrorist attack or a real one. Something is very very off. Or is it just a plan to get the price of oil up for the drill baby drill or another part of the project 2025 plan and GOP goal of obliterating the middle class?
Trump invoking the MAGA god seems to ignore the statement: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God." But the MAGAvangelicals could never be accused of being Christ-like.

Borders. Walls. Blah. Blah. Blah. Republicans have no respect for boundaries other countries set.
"due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others"
Nope. Today's Republicans can't do respect.
This is why he should be in jail, not the WH.
Aaagain!

At least, we are almost at 6 months, 12.5% done.

Conway is spot on. 🎯💯
Having never been MAGA seems like a rational prerequisite to enter reputable establishments.
(Many of us should still be blacklisting those fascists long after Trump has gotten himself hanged)
It is painfully obvious that the Trump regime has failed to make America great, nor even permit America to remain great...
So, does that mean Trump is responsibly preparing to resign since his regime has obviously already failed???
& how is Trump rooting, "MIGA!" somehow putting "America first?"
And now, we've bombed Iran without first making a formal declaration of war...
There was no imminent threat of a nuclear bomb on US nor Isreal.
