The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Let me get this straight. The US intel community doesn’t know anything. The Pentagon doesn’t know anything. Only Trump knows anything. Well okay then.

Every US death by way of Iran or their proxies worldwide is on Trump’s hands.

Dow jumped 250 pts within minutes of the reported Iran missile attack. War… what is it good for… absolutely nothing …but business.

But those same congres cowards will let MAGA kill YOU and YOUR families.
GOP Members of Congress fall into line on whatever Trump asks. Partly because they agree but also because they fear a MAGA terrorist will kill them and their families for opposing Trump. That is how fascist movements keep discipline.

Donald Trump is so used to groveling to Putin that groveling now to Xi to keep the Straits of Hormuz open is just second nature.

Cowardice and complacency
Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Do yourself a favor and switch to AlJazeera for coverage of the US strike on Iran. They have become a valuable must watch TV news coverage just as much as CNN/BBC. Use the YT live feed if you don’t have the channel on your provider. #Iran #US #Isreal

Just a reminder that you can intensely dislike the Iranian regime and still think all this is a fucking gross combination of illegal and insane.

Pete Hegseth mixes in Trump’s ball sweat when making Sunday morning mimosas ahead of his press conference.

Watching the Iranian Dep FM totally overrun the BBC News presenter at the moment. She has totally lost the interview.

It’s time we end the Danish tyranny against the people of Greenland and replace it with tyranny of the United States of America.

Joe Biden needs to pardon himself. I never thought I’d say that. But listening to the incoming dictator Joe must pardon himself, Harris, the Clintons, Obamas, the J6 committee, J6 witnesses. The coming witch-hunts will make the McCarthy era seem quaint.
