"Maybe I will and maybe I won't. I don't know." "I'll tell you in 2 weeks." Your head of intelligence says Iran is not able to create a nuclear device in a couple of weeks. "My head of intelligence is wrong."

Which way do you mean that? Intelligence in terms of knowledge about secret doings. Or intelligence as ability to apply knowledge to solve problems? The administration is adroitly juggling how to line it's pockets and those of its employers while keeping the nation in thrall to a spectacle of chaos

It is a fact that the government says it's a fact. Like the used car dealervwith the OK sticker on the window. "Every car we sell has an okay sticker on the windshield, and you know one thing for sure when you see that okay sticker. You know there is an okay sticker on the windshield."

Netanyahu has made a career for 20years now telling us how Iran is one step, this close, and few weeks from having nuclear capability. It was a lie in 2005, it is still a lie.

Consciousness is the universe's way of looking at itself. It's an essential part of the universe. Consciousness is infinitely bigger and more dispersed throughout the universe than any individual or collective can fathom. Humans often can not even appreciate the consciousness that surrounds us.

It is mental illness that emerges with the ideological assumption that the US makes the law, and is above the law.

The discussion concerning to bomb or not to bomb Iran with all of its callous inhumanity reveals the pervasive American ideology that we as a nation have the right to dictate how others act, what is right for their society. The underlying belief is we make the laws, we are above the laws.

The NYTs calls it the GOP's "ideological flexibility" instead of calling it what it is and has always been: hypocrisy. For 45yrs, as long as it will benefit working people, we don't have money. Borrow billions for tax cuts for the wealthy, no sweat. Billions for DOD and wars of choice, you betcha.

It's a fact because we call it a fact. Netanyahu has called it a fact every year for 20yrs. There was a treaty in place in 2017, Iran respected it, that is a fact. Trump withdrew from the treaty, a fact. Iran has indicated for yrs willingness to renegotiate, a fact. Iran has no Nucs, that's a fact.

Corporations are fictive person's they are not people they are aliens, we give them enormous rights to act for "shareholders." Shareholders are mostly LLC investment funds (mutual, private equity, etc). Corporations act to create growth for shareholders. It's not about human needs or environment.

The Congressional GOP strategy is wash your hands of everything and get anything you can in the ongoing #SackOfAmerica. Then, when the corruption and incompetence come to light you blame him and jump ship. If he is "responsible" an insane war in Iran, 12m off medicaid, gutting government are on him.

Israeli minister says Khamenei ‘can no longer be allowed to exist’ Israel has already made it policy that every Palestinian including children begging for food should not be allowed to exist. The arrogance and hypocrisy are monumental. You bomb but are indignant as the people you attacked respond.

Horrific. But can we ask, how many hospitals and schools has Israel bombed in Gaza? Should the helpless Palestinians vow to intensify attacks? By this measure isn't Hamas attack Oct. 7 justified? Did Iran start the killing? Sadly the killing is always real as innocent people die in your power game.

Asked about entering the Israel/Iran conflict: “I may do it,” Trump responds. “I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” Does he choose what is behind curtain no1 or no2? Making a game show spectacle out of US policy. The worst part is the media normalize it. Nothing has value

You wonder how many senators and reps could actually point the countries they would bomb or sanction out on a map. This is what comes from dehumanizing people and cultures and looking at the world in relation to what makes you look good, or your donors interests, and above all you own self-interest

Joining Israel because Trump thinks it would make him look tough on TV would be a cataclysmic stupidity for America's already tanking foreign relations and standing. The US has nothing more to gain as Iran's regime will soon collapse. Better to offer mediation and pressure Israel to seek an end.

Did it with Bernie Sanders in 2016, and when they couldn't in 2020, they just ganged up and assassinated him politically. Why things are like they are. But there is a lot of disgust for the standard corporate dem practice. Just maybe this time.....

If already grievance filled white men (chewed up and spit out by the corporate neoliberal economy) are subject to a constant stream of invective like, "radical left lunatics," "the enemy from within," "grossly incompetent," "criminals," "they hate America," this will grow more common.

The only thing vexing about the race is that bully sleeze bag neoliberal zombie Cuomo is in it representing the financial and real estate barons in NYC. No surprise the NYTs tells readers monied interests coincide with theirs and to vote for someone with long experience in the employ of the wealthy.

Exactly the point. When we went from alternative facts to an alternative reality (from Trump's reality TV show to Trump's TV Reality Network, whatever one believes must be true. Just click the heals of your Trump Signature Sneakers and say "I wanna a White Christian world where father knows best."

The NYTimes ties itself in knots to defend the corporate neoliberal oligarchy and show everyone that it is the only option, it is our norm, and any other political position (with a nod and a wink to far right corporate authoritarian oligarchy) is naive idealism and fundamentally unsound.

Wonder where the money goes? Wonder who is backing it? As Germany undergoes massive rearmament. It now has the world's 4th biggest defense budget. Discussion centers around financing and where to get and spend $200 billion. “We need a market-driven industry that innovates ...using private capital.”

Beijing emphasized that “any escalation of tensions and expansion of conflicts… is not in the interests of any party." China, a key supporter of Iran, is the world's largest consumer of Iranian oil, sanctions or not. Regime change in Iran is against its interests.

WashPost covers (up):the No Kings rallies: "Thousands of Americans are gathering Saturday in cities across the country for an organized day of protests" The number will surely be closer to 10 million.
