I just saw the news that the U.S. strikes on Iran only damaged their nuclear sites. It just made me think about how maybe I only damaged our relationship. I was just thinking—maybe I could have a second try, like the American B-2s are gonna have to do. Like the Iranians, you don't have to respond.

The whole idea of "antiwar" Trump has long rested on a confused reading of his hatred of multilateralism, the international order, and the Deep State. He doesn't hate those things for "dovish" reasons. He hates them for degenerate/corrupt reasons. Thoughts on that: newrepublic.com/article/1969...

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

The easiest blocks are the fervent Cuomo supporting liberals on here because WTF???? You could quietly vote for this terrible person. But nope, you're in people's mentions showing how terrible you are too.

Beautiful lol

these kidnapping phone alerts are the dumbest thing ever my phone is screeching its head off because a 6 yr old went missing 3 towns over and what exactly am I to do with this pal, head out onto the streets and stop every vehicle with children in it looking for a 6 yr old whose photo you didnt share

Wild to watch the Democratic Party rallying to push back what they perceive as a threat to order. It turns out they do have it in them to speak out and act with one voice, just not over what we need them to in order to save our country.

If you rank cuomo you LOVE the god damn CHEETO in the WHITE HOUSE

really great that an Iranian terrorist cell can simply order vests from amazon, dress up like masked ICE agents and walk into any building in the country to plant a bomb… and nobody would stop them. really great.

Cuomo and Bill Clinton are picking up Kevin Spacey then they’re all gonna break Harvey Weinstein out of jail to start a sexual predator Fantastic Four.

birds of a feather

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.” Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council. It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

a lot of democrats in congress support bombing iran, in case you were wondering why all their public statements are 5 paragraphs of obfuscation and mush. a lot of the gerontocracy in leadership voted for the iraq war too

We’re going to see a lot of pro-Israel Democrats come out and back Trump’s war with Iran. We’ve already seen John Fetterman, Ritchie Torres, and others come out of the woodwork. It’s so clear that the party can’t be a real opposition as long as it’s so deeply penetrated by the Israel lobby.

Iran’s jamming GPS in the Strait of Hormuz, messing with ~970 ships, per Windward. UKMTO confirms the interference. Faulty AIS coordinates are screwing up navigation in the Persian Gulf. The IRGC threatens to shut the strait down in hours.

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

I hardly ever open Facebook, so its algorithm has no idea what to show me. But every now and then, it lands a direct hit.

Hey remember when the one of the most prominent Democrats in Minnesota and her husband were assassinated

just utterly inadequate as an opposition party. schumer is fundamentally disloyal to america

Sen. Chris Murphy: "I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States."

Military strikes make people's brains fall out of their heads. Why would anyone believe anything Trump says? We have no idea at this point if Iran's nuclear facilities remain intact or if they were "totally obliterated."

I don't know if I love Get Your War On being relevant again. That's not a thing I'm loving

Something about Cuomo being Italian ICE? Brainstorming idk

The “Kamala Harris will start WWIII” stuff seems ridiculous today.

The U.S., notoriously passive and bombing another country because someone made us do it

Don’t take your eye off the ball. The attack on Iran is meant to distract you from the proposed changes to tax credits for soybean farms

This is pretty much why the MSM wanted him to win. He just makes their job easier and more lucrative.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran had little to do with intelligence. For years, including when he was last in office, the public U.S. intel assessment has been the same: Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Not really convinced that going through Congress would have produced a substantially different outcome - what was it, twenty straight years of re-ratifying Bush's blank-check AUMF?

there's something deeply fucked about Democratic corporate types in that they're more hawkish than Republicans because they're terrified of the media implying they may be limp wristed cowards, and by capitulating to the war lobby they prove the cowardice in the opposite direction

It's difficult to quantify just how much it sucks that this is the "opposition party." If I wrote a Proustian-length book on the topic I would be unable to adequately express how much I hate that this is supposedly the "other side." The opposing view? Diet Warmongering, same death half the calories.

Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible. Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

"mommy why is Teheran a green crater" "well, this one video game about depression got a good review from an ex boyfriend..."

but i don't WANT 2003 again! 2003 fucking sucked ass and balls!

More importantly, there will be zero repercussions for leading our country into this war and committing countless war crimes.

War is one of the media's favorite stories because it's easy for the whole industry — immediate us vs. them lines drawn, instinctive deference to people in uniform, and banging music behind b-roll of missile launches

uhhh wtf

we as a nation have all the power and resources to make the world a paradise and instead we drop bombs and invent AI chatbot wives and shoot journalists in the face and expel cancer researchers because we're super smart i guess
