The GOP is also being blackmailed.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
IS IT "DIGNIFIED" FOR HIM TO WEAR A BASEBALL CAP?
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?
But "precision," amirite?
Moskowitz for the Win.
Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.
They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.
Yes, I know this administration has no bottom.
No class, no integrity, no honor, no decency.
Yet they never cease to shock me.
βEvery 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...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.β
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
A budget is a moral document.
Even Epstein knew that.
"Precision," per Hegseth.
Today the House votes on the War Powers Resolution. I will vote YES to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran.
My thoughts are with the families of the 6 American service members killed in Donald Trumpβs war of choice.
Congressβnot the Presidentβdecides when America goes to war.
"Hal, we did nothing wrong!"
And here we all are at the beginning of WWIII. Interesting how much a distraction it is from Trump's involvement in the biggest sex trafficking ring in the history of the world π EVER. Release the fully unredacted Trump/Epstein files. NOW.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
βNobody wants to fight for Israel.β *snap*
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told thereβs no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
The beauty of the internet is, they can destroy all they want, but there are still copies out there. They are taking a calculated risk that whoever else has the information, also knows how catastrophic it is. I hope I live long enough to witness the denouement, which will be EPIC!
Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesnβt include bombing people.
Seriously, he needs to be medicated.
Remember:
This is all about the Epstein Files.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β on steroids.
Donald Trump made trade threats against Spain during an Oval Office meeting with reporters and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. (ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES)
Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life β as E. Jean Carroll can attest
Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"
He is nucking futz.
