Given what the Trump regime decided to do just a few days before Trump gave the go-ahead to attack Iran, you almost have to ask if the Trump regime are eagerly wanting Iranian-sponsored terrorist attacks to kill Americans in the US too:

I was so proud of the USA when we elected Barak Obama. Still am. Listened to him speak at the great Jesse Jacksonβs celebration of life today. π«Άπ»
Like clockwork.
Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can βawait processing.β
The secretary of Miami-Dade Countyβs GOP started a group chat for conservative students β and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
Reporter: βPresident Trump, any words about the six Americans that have been killed?"
Trump:
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
Educators are being squeezed as pay falls behind rising costs. When educators are priced out of the communities they serve, students lose stability and experience. Itβs time for serious investment in public schools. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/b...
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
"...no stupid rules of engagement."
Thanks for making it easier for the war crimes tribunal, like a sloppy drunk would.
I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.
I donβt know if he would deport anyone at all, but I sure can guess whose tables he would flip over.
I donβt know, but I sure know whoβs tableβs he would flip over.
When he was asked about why we attacked and what the threat was, he was transparently flailing and began gaslighting the press. So what is it? It sounded like β They might have been able to rebuild their capabilitiesβ? Unserious President and cabinet. We are not in good hands. 2/End
Listening to the general speak with seriousness about a military strike and then listeninf to Chud Hegseth get excitable and swing his metaphorical dick around along with Trumpβs is cringeworthy and transparently performative, horrifying and embarrassing. more reality TV for the blinded masses. 1.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.
The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.
Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.
Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.
A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

This is all you need to know about what Pete Kegstand did today
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Well that was actually totally expected. Right on time. Gas prices have been climbing all week. Filled up for 4.19 gallon today. What a horrifying reality TV show we live in. I hate evil paired with stupidity.
