#Republicans are sinking us all under a mountain of debt.

#Iran is such a defender of #Muslims, like the #Uyghurs (NOT!) and the #Kurds (NOT!). What they are is the world's biggest hypocrites & BS artists. They are paper tigers, use others to fight their fights and suppress their own people. The #Palestinian people need to divorce themselves from Iran ASAP

If a country (Iran) dedicates itself to the elimination of another (Israel) and arms proxies surrounding Israel, develops forces and weapons, is enriching uranium & taking clandestine actions in that regard, fires multiple missiles at Israel within the past year, it should expect to be attacked.

Is there a court that will rule it is illegal to push federal nutrition programs onto states -- and immoral to leave people without food and medicine? Come on #Republicans, you are hurting people. #Americans!

They are sinking their own budget under the interest payments from their massive debt which they are massively increasing.

He's weighing what the evangelicals want, the Jewish vote, the isolationist MAGAs, the remaining neo-cons, the price of oil, what Putin wants, the message that would be sent to Xi, the effect on Crypto and the stock market, and... what it will do to his BBB tax bill. Et voila, there's his decision!

This is stupid. Who said US is going to "nuke Iran?" No one.

Why? War Powers Resolution has been a joke for more than 50 years. Congress won't get in the way of a POTUS. Stop jerking us around.

There is a war with Iran. Who do want to survive it?

Because it takes him 60 days + a week of hemming and hawling + 2 weeks of "we'll see." Then what? See, no war for the US.

Great analysis but your prescription defies political reality. With Huckabee in Jerusalem, Trump and his evangelical base are not going to curtail Israel's West Bank expansion or embrace 2 states. Perhaps small steps could be envisioned. Got 20-40 years?

Iran is the hated outsider & disrupter in the Mideast & Arab world. Look what they did to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and, yes, Gaza. Now their destruction has come home. No one defends them. No one tries to stop Israel. Shia Iran run by non-elected clerics is hated. No one wants them having nukes.

This is the 1st war in history fought exclusively from the air. No armies. No land battles. Technology not manpower is key. Every Israeli has a safe room; Iranians stuck on highways escaping Tehran. Your resentment ("sugar daddy") clouds your assessment. Or is it bigotry? Israel will defend itself.

Notice how infiltrated Iran is by Mossad & has been for years. Drones fired from within Iran. Leaders locations known & attacked. 2 nuke scientists killed by car bombs. Why is it so easy? Because Iranians hate the regime; they are easy to recruit. Why no Arab countries fighting Israel?They hate Iran

Democracy, genocide, captive, apartheid -- all a word salad justified by a singular viewpoint. That is what starts and sustains wars. Holding onto a narrow viewpoint makes you complicit.

A government that cannot defend its people stops fighting and surrenders. Hamas is responsible for deaths of Gazans. Surrender. War ends. They could have done that on Oct. 8th.

#Trump is "pausing raids on farms, hotels & eateries." So, he finally realizes that #immigrants are critical to the U.S. Now he no longer cares whether they are "legal?" Hypocrite.

What about lawn care? Am I going to have to mow and edge my own lawn?? Exempt them, too, #Trump

Watch what countries actually do. Beyond lip service or because they get their oil or weapons from Iran, who is coming to its defense? No one. Others give lip service to condemning Israel but they don't stop it & buy their weapons. It's a shell game (a deadly one). Try harder to keep up.

Israel started a war with Iran? Iran is dedicated to Israel's destruction. Iran has armed Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis - all proxies of Iran surrounding Israel seeking to destroy it. What is Israel trying to do? Not to destroy Iran, just stopping it's nuclear weapons development

The problem with the #trump bill is the taxes. Reduce the cuts by half, close the loopholes and restore full IRS funding and voila, we don't have to cut services and the budget is balanced.

Apartheid, Genocide, Holocaust. These words once had meaning. You destroy their meaning. BTW, what term will you escalate to next?
