- Daylight savings time is ending. fxn.ws/2Wwgxi1 This time change back and forth is really, really stupid. Let's keep one or the other and stop forcing all of us to change our clocks for no good purpose. We don't get any more light overall!
- They want war if America does the fighting!A Saudi paper close to the royal family literally called for U.S. strikes on Iran a few days ago.
- Trump administration about to get a lot scarier. McMaster out, no loss. But replace by John Bolton, who wants war with just about everyone. nyti.ms/2FWv01N What happened to @realDonaldTrump who ran for office denouncing @HillaryClinton as a warmonger?
- The republican party--it's only purpose apparently is to mimic the Democrats. Couldn't we save money by merging the two parties and dispensing with elections? After all, In Washington almost everyone is a big spending warmonger.If a Republican president can't address a Republican-controlled Congress without paying lip service to the idea of cutting spending, what good are Republicans? #SOTU bit.ly/2EveqCl
- Candidate @realDonaldTrump denounced @HillaryClinton for being a warmonger. Now he is doing what she would have done.Tonight, @POTUS Donald J. Trump addressed the nation to announce a combined operation- with the #UnitedKingdom and #France- of precision strikes against sites associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of the #Assad regime in #Syria.
00:00 - Why should I have to bail out a shale oil company? Will they send me a check during good times. This is corporate welfare of the worst sort. wapo.st/2xub571
- Give Nigel Farage credit: he has challenged the arrogant, reckless, bloody hypocrisy of the West, noting how it helped trigger #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/2… Moscow is to blame for invasion, but without US & allied blunders, it would not have happened.
- Wander around the globe committing regime change. Unintended consequence: Members of Axis of Evil want nukes.
- A scary 10-minute film of January 6 and the attack on the Capitol. bit.ly/3qRUrV3 I hate to think what would have happened if the mob had come across Mike Pence or Nancy Pelosi. The demonstrators wanted to "fight for Trump," not the country or Constitution.
- Republican establishment leaders are braindead when it comes to foreign policy. They want war, war, and more war. politi.co/2UAabhy That is one way to ensure that they lose future elections.
- U.S. attacks other nations. U.S. subsidizes proxy forces. U.S. threatens to destroy other countries. U.S. uses sanctions to starve other peoples. U.S. backs aggressor nations that attack other countries. That doesn't seem normal ....@SecPompeo: The Islamic Republic of Iran is not a normal state. Normal states do not attack embassies and military installations in peacetime; fuel terrorist proxies and militias; serve as a sanctuary for terrorists; call for the destruction of Israel & threaten other countries.
- Why is US still involved in Afghanistan? Almost 17 years later, attempting to build democracy in Central Asia ...An IG warned the "full extent of child sexual assault committed by Afghan security forces may never be known" because US govt. agencies don't want to know jimbovard.com/blog/2018/05/2…
- Shocking: US officials say they aren't certain the drone was not in Iranian airspace. And that is one reason the retaliatory strike was dropped. Really?? After running around asserting this was outrageous aggression and getting the War Party busy pushing for military action?Key point in story of Trump calling off strike over downed US drone: senior administration official admits its possible it did violate Iranian airspace. nyti.ms/2WVqofX
