Nobody wanted this, the way wars are waged has changed and I think it's only a matter of time until there are strategic drone attacks at home that we'll call terrorist attacks.
Iran has every right to defend itself. I don't want Americans to be killed, but ffs what did this administration expect?
And we wait two years and people say oh well let's pick the safe option and we have the most corporate candidate shoved down our throats again for the fourth time (Hilary, Biden, Kamala, and I guess Newsom)
We can't wait, our problems are too large in this country. We need significant changes, fdr level.
If we elect another corporate candidate then our fate is sealed, pretty much proves magas point and we leave room for fascism.
This guy still has 40% approval. It's hard to even fathom
There are probably hundred of removable offenses at this point. I wish his staff had an ounce of morality left and would have him removed over his war rhetoric. Nobody wants it, not even maga, why the fuck are we at the whims of one guy right now.
Everything I ever learned about our government was that this situation could never happen because of our checks and balances.
What's absolutely bonkers is the DHS went out and immediately called her a domestic terrorist. Our tax dollars paid to kill her and post propaganda on x defaming her.
They put the public at risk by using force. Literally created the situation to kill her by having a goon step in the path of travel
A group of men with guns surrounded her car and she fucking panicked. It's not surprising she attempted to flee, it doesn't take that much brain power to know to never use your body to stop a car and even the police would never use their bodies to stop a fuckin car.
There was no verbal warning, there was no negotiation with her. Nothing. She got murdered because she didn't comply. Fucking pigs.
Democrats must demand the files be released as one of their requirements. Make it so that Republicans are at fault because they were so scared of the Epstein files
I feel so incredibly sad and exhausted at what has happened to my country. The US has had its flaws, sure. I was born in the late 90s and just within my own lifetime everything I grew up with has been ripped to pieces as an adult over and over again.
It's some sort of sick joke.
I no longer have any hope for the future and am just bracing for impact at this point with what little I have.
The fact that he can make these statements and there still are people ignoring or defending him is just so incredibly gross and further proves how f'ed we are.
Basically at this point I don't think there's any comfortable way out of this, it's going to be a very painful and costly road ahead for us and I don't know if I really believe in this country anymore. If we actually make it to a real election in 4 years I'll eat my words, but seeing how this is just starting I would say its extremely unlikely.
Trump seems content on driving us off a cliff
You can't cling to the current Dem establishment and also expect them to handle Trump and maga. They can't and they won't-- it's been 10 years.
Maga is organized and motivated, we need to organize and motivate the rest of the country, it's very hard to get motivated around neocon candidates.
Every election since Trump 1 has been the same thing: quietly accept the inadequacies of the Democratic party and let maga walk all over the country while you watch half of the country get swept away by misinformation. People are exhausted trying to wait it out. If we are going to fix this country we need to seize control now, not waiting for the next election cycle.
Yup. I'm just one person but I warned people voting for Trump that we were about to get fucked over again by this. Now we're going to have less services and a shittier future because it takes so much more effort to raise taxes than it is to cut them.
And we're at 1000 and counting dead in Iran. This mfs only legacy will be the pile of bodies left in his wake.
It's pretty disturbing how the president can decide to kill thousands all on a feeling and all without authorization from Congress
Why should one man get to decide the fate of thousands and the destiny of an entire country?
After he leaves office we have serious work that we need to do to reform the executive branch and to formally strip away all the powers that we have been warned about.
