This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

What we are witnessing is not an incoming administration reshaping the executive branch to enact its policy agenda.

BREAKING: 88 FBI agents who worked on Trump cases were just physically escorted out of the Washington Field office per a source.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

"The press would have been doing its job by exposing Trump’s pandering instead of nitpicking Harris to death. But even his most ridiculous campaign proposals — such as taxpayers picking up the tab for costly IVF treatments — received exactly the sort of credulous coverage he was hoping for."

In a perfect world, you don’t put the guy who got away with stealing our national security secrets back in the office where he’ll get unfettered access to our national security secrets.

That, is fucking bullshit.
