    Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’”

    The story keeps changing because they don’t want to admit that this was done to touch off Armageddon, and bring on The Rapture. The soldiers were specifically told that by their commander. The reason is literally “because God told us to.”

    At least 200 soldiers have filed formal complaints.

    Things are looking up… for Iran.

    I am not asking for much, I just want the US to lose to Iran even more decisively and quickly than it lost to Afghanistan, and for Tel Aviv to look like Rafah today.

    “You are right to be worried, the Trump administration has no plan in Iran,” Warren said

    Ah, so it’s much better than I thought on one side.
    Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?

    I was under the impression that he declared war on brown people with no fucking plan whatsoever because he’s racist, under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples), and him trying to distract from his close ties with and probable crimes as a child rapist.

    I actually don’t know how it could be worse

    Actually that’s pretty much what we thought, but it’s good to get a second opinion from someone on the inside.

    Had Liz Warren come in behind Bernie in 2020, we would have stood a chance stopping the party from ordaining Genocide Joe, even with their cheating. Instead she lied and said he secretly revealed how sexist he is to only her, and the neolib media shouted it from the hilltops. And now we have Trump again because the guy who came in 5th before the party rigged the election for him was never viable to be reelected. Heckuba job, Warrie!

    “Wow, are you going to give further details?”

    “Then we might have to actually do something, so… no. But hey, elections are coming up! Maybe we can form a committee to look into it in the next ten to sixteen months if we win.”

    Hey, friendly reminder that this bitch voted for Marco Rubio right along with everyone else in the Senate.

    Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’” Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said the briefing left him with more questions than answers… While presidents have the authority as the commander in chief to conduct certain strategic military operations on their own, the Constitution vests Congress with the power to wage war. Before the Iraq War began in March 2003, Republican President George W. Bush made a monthslong push to secure congressional authorization. No such vote was attempted on Iran, and an earlier Senate effort to halt Trump’s actions after last summer’s strike on Iran failed.
