Instead, the media and politicians continue to treat all this as if the president was rational, focusing on if objectives were achieved and asking if we won. That’s a framework of thinking that needs to be abandoned. It’s the same shit that lead us into Iraq. When in fact there is no winning in war

What should be happening, imo, is a reexamination of presidential powers and if Congress should be passing laws limiting the ability of the president to unilaterally order preemptive strikes on a sovereign nation.

It’s no different from when he dropped that big bomb in Afghanistan. There was no reason so why look for one. Trump told Israel he would drop a bomb so he did. That’s it. Why not let him think he destroyed everything. It’s not like he reads the intelligence reports.

Like, yes war is very serious and the consequences can potentially be incredibly important. But doesn’t mean anyone has to pay attention or try to refute trump. All that does is legitimize him, making his decision making seem normal or thought out. Naw, he’s just a child distracted by a shiny thing

Honestly, people should just be saying ya everything destroyed and move on. Trump never wanted to do anything other than appear to himself like he did something. So let him think he did and just move on. The more it’s pressed that this was pointless, the more likely he’ll order another bombing

For real. I pulled up Fox News right after reading the Cato article and had a chuckle (a sad angry frustrated chuckle but I refuse to not laugh at libertarians)

And then the WASPs decided the Irish and Italians could be white so all the previous bigotry should be forgotten lolz. Still funny to find the hard core NS types who continue to argue for Irish exclusionary laws

Right. There’s such a weird thing with some people who just want to be mean to and kill large animals as if it proves they’re manly. Sure they’ll claim this is necessary to other oil digging but it’s just an excuse, like those ranchers who want to trap and kill wolves

Just an incredible series of events, as if these bigots decided the needed to one up Dave Reilly, Rebecca Hargreaves, and Vincent James Foxx on the embarrassing failure front. Fuck these white nationalist bastards, they are deeply unserious people and need to always be clowned on

And just gonna have to post this 1980 banger cause it’s been stuck in my head for weeks now, and it helps show how the push to bomb Iran predates anything involving nuclear weapons m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8hE...

And also, for the odd person who might see this post, the protests thus far have been entirely peaceful so stfu with the ‘I support protests but disrupting the status quo is a step too far.’ Naw bro, burning cop cars and some fireworks isn’t violence. Property isn’t alive and doesn’t have rights
