People are going to die in large numbers because this corrupt president and his corrupt friends think there is money to be made in the Middle East that they are not yet getting.

This war was inevitable, because the people behind it are monsters.

That is factual, not an opinion.

Expect disinformation in the coming days, question news sources, and do your due diligence.

Remember that bias and agenda may be shaping and distorting what you read online.

Of course it was all worded weasely to make it sound like “don’t hit us back and it’s all good teehee” but we just bombed their soil; it may not be legally war per US POV but war isn’t actually legal process; it’s just fucking war.

A President cannot declare war unilaterally yet this President continues to show complete disregard for the Constitution. This illegal action is opposed by the majority of Americans, will put us all in danger, and only benefits weapons manufacturers and war mongers.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.
