I’ve been reading “The Guns of August” about what led to WWI and the first few engagements before it became trench warfare.

💯 accurate. No lies here.
And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Just HOURS after Putin slammed the U.S. for bombing Iran, the Iranian Foreign Minister is now heading to Moscow for an emergency meeting. Trump didn’t just start a war - he may have united two of America’s greatest enemies.
This is a global nightmare.

The final step Ron Johnson took in abdicating his responsibilities as a senator came in 2020, when he participated in Donald Trump's attempted coup by being part of the fake electors scam
So it's unsurprising that he's quick to spurn his Congressional duties now

Progressives get steamrolled all the time in Congress. We are an outnumbered bloc, especially on matters of defense. Shouldn’t be hard.
They know this isn’t “lefty” opposition. It is BROAD opposition from the American people across the board. The numbers show that. That’s why they’re pushing it.

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.
Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

Please media. Educate and inform Americans.
I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.
1/2 Marker of our times:
Public discuss has normalized idea that whatever is churning around in Trump's mind can, *w no restraint or involvement from anyone else,* plunge world into recession ("my tariffs") or major war (Iran)
And that he'll make "reveal" of his whim something like 'Survivor.'

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.
