Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

If you know anyone who drives or rides in a Tesla...they should be reading this article.
Aggressively horrible design. Look at the back seat releases in the interactive - horrifying.

please look at the framing Reuters has taken

why are they framing a news event as something Trump said? esp when Trump lies every time he opens his mouth?

why involve Trump at all? and if the story is *about* Trump, why not focus on what he said?

idk what this is, but it isn't journalism

So once again tRump produced a problem then fake solves it and demands praise.

The orange clown tore up the nuclear deal we ALREADY had with Iran. So naturally they then ramp up uranium enrichment. Then he bombs them and claims credit for a "ceasefire."

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian Retaliation Underway 🚨

Here’s what we know so far:

- Iran has launched “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory” targeting U.S. forces.
- At least 6 missiles fired at U.S. bases in Qatar.
- Explosions heard over Doha, possibly intercepted.
- U.S. jets scrambling over Saudi Arabia.

Wheee another unwinnable war in the Middle East launched by a reckless lying clown. But hey, if we don't call it a war it isn't one, right? Rigghhtt? Genius. 🙄🤦‍♀️

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get.

So why don’t they insist on a vote?

They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:

“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.

Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone.

My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people.

The "peace president."

Demands Iran make peace? Isn't Iran the one that's been attacked by two different countries? And now everyone today is carefully calling everything strikes, the mission, or the operation... but no war word anywhere to be found.

In honor of dropping bombs and then declaring 60 days of peace and negotiation I'm wearing this today.
June 22, 2025 at 12:29 PM
They are really pushing this surprise secret shite. Isn't dropping bombs on a country usually done "in secret"? It's all cover and justification for why Trump did this without Congressional approval.
June 22, 2025 at 12:16 PM
Wouldn't dropping bombs on a country unprovoked be a fantastic way to distract from growing civil unrest. 🤔

If you start a war without CALLING it a war it's still a war. And clearly the "minimal communications" they keep pushing must mean not letting Hegseth know about it ahead of time or he'd have started a group chat.
June 22, 2025 at 12:12 PM
The United States doesn't seek war Heg "where's my shot?" seth says. Yet we literally, unprovoked, drop bombs on a country without Congress approval. Make it make sense.
June 22, 2025 at 12:10 PM
The no more wars president is off to a fantastic start. What a clown show.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.
The US has hust dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, according to Trump, bringing American military forces into Israel’s war with Iran.

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”
