This moment is brought to us in large part by the treason of Ronald Reagan. His hunger for power drove him to make a back room deal that moved the hostages’ release to after the election - not during Carter’s administration when they should have been released. This act ultimately installed the hardliners now ruling Iran.
And now we have to stop this regime from further criming.
Kareem, trump in his early morning fevered brain, "thought" this would help him. As we lay sleeping, he was concocting what would make him look strong, "a war president."
I have been sick all day, over this news. WE will not let him get away with this latest distraction -- can you imagine someone so uncaring, that they would start a WAR for personal gain?! How many have already been killed?
WE will not let him get away with blaming Iran for interfering with the 2020 and 2026 elections, and nationalizing our elections because of it. We have smart lawyers, many organizations to get out the vote and monitor polling places. WE will take our nation back from this criminal political group that doesn't CARE about anything except power.
Trump will stop the midterms or make sure the votes go in his party's favor. That's what fascists do. These are relentlessly shocking and depressing times and with Democratic leadership like Schumer, Jeffries and Martin that enable and actually support Trump, it's a perfect doomsday atmosphere.
We knew this would happen and I just read that only two republicans oppose this. You knew Trump was destabilizing the economy and the global economy. You also knew that this was his intention. The only thing that surprised me is that our leaders fell in line. You won’t want to hear this, I’m not a pacifist. Protests and crying aren’t working. The planned agenda is in play and Trump is only the symbol of it. Get real. If you want to have an effect, including myself, we are going to need to suffer and revolt to overthrow this government. I’m not going down on my knees! Take it or leave it. This isn’t a civilized regime and it is going to take you down in a violent way. Witness it. You are already reading and seeing it. It’s only the beginning. You don’t need to believe me. Look at what is happening with open eyes and stop thinking it won’t happen to you, because it hasn’t happened to you yet and you haven’t seen it in your neighborhood. It’s coming.
I'd say they launch another illegal war. Just like the first attack. And the attack on Yemen and Venezuela and Nigeria. All of them was declarations of war. The US is fortunate/was fortunate that there wasn't really a full retaliation the first time. And we know that for this administration, civilians are targets.
What I seem to notice is the way DJT is turning into Bibi. Bombing other countries, threatening them, wanting to take them over--that's exactly Bibi's playbook. And Donny always wants to emulate the "big guys". I could be wrong but I feel that all Iran ever wanted was to be left in peace.
Thank you for your insights, Qasim. You'll be kept on your toes as the future looks like a disaster-a-day.
I have a question. The military has been given an incredible amount of money. The military has a huge stockpile of weapons. Even if Congress acts, and that's a big if, what happens if the president ignores them. I don't think he is bound by law. He is obviously unwell, and I don't think he understands consequences.
How long could he do whatever he pleases before the military runs out of weapons.
Trump, or at least his enablers, understand the limits of the law.
An armed robber knows full well that the laws of God and man forbid robbery and he doesn't care.
Hold a loaded Colt Python, a big motherfucker magnum to that robber's head and he will be the one tearfully quoting Scripture, and he won't care whether or not you have any right to spatter his brains on the wall.
Thank you for sharing. He’s only doing this thinking we will forget the Epstein Files. Never going to happen. Praying for everyone who has to be in the middle. 🙏🏻✌🏻❤️
One of Trump’s advisors doubtless told him to say that American troops will be killed. Watch how quickly the right uses the talking point that “Democrats opposing the war are not backing our troops.” The medal presentation to veterans at the State of the Union is already being packaged for right wing media. They’re just waiting for the caskets to start arriving. Please keep protesting and calling Congress.
How long before America rewrites this one and trots out the same old bollocks about "our brave soldiers"?
1 Of course they are lying. What does anyone propose to do about it?
2. Of course the war is illegal, however, law is meaningless. Enforcement is the only thing that matters.
These two murderers should be held accountable!

Here he is - MAGA’s BIG Fuhrer. The puppet on a String - Our Statesman?

Terrifying, we'll be out there exposed while he's blathering lies in his bunker!

Thank you, Qasim, for your thoughtful and insightful analysis. Greatly appreciated at this frightening time.
And now he thinks that he can depose or assassinate any world leader who bruises his ego.
