    There is nothing precise about explosives and shrapnel. After these fucking morons deplete the precision guided munitions, it’s going to be B-52 cells carpet bombing the living shit out of Iran’s large cities.

    Honesty is not always better. The brazenness is a signal that in a decaying democracy Americans now longer have the power to reign in the executive branch. At least not without a new and more confrontational strategy.

    And, look at whats happening in the House, whats happening in the Senate: Democrats support this, or at least do not oppose it, or work to shut down opposition on this issue.

    There are a few Democrats against this. But leadership supports whats happening.

      Didn’t the senate just vote to stop this basically along party lines, failing because there are more republicans right now?

        Dems dragged their feet on a bipartisan bill for almost 2 weeks, at the behest of Schumer, Jefferies, until Trump actually did the thing and it was too late to stop them. It has literally been in the news since Khanna and Massie introduced the bill for 2 weeks.

        If you interpret todays vote as “Dems oppose what Trump is doing…”

          “What do you even want the Democrats TO DO about it?!”

          points to a thing they should do

          “Fuck you! That’s not serious. It would never work. You’ve been baited into believing a utopian fairy tale!”

        • Democrats are so good. They only lost because you couldn’t see how good they were. If you weren’t so stupid, we wouldn’t be in this situation

        • Democrats are fine. You’re exaggerating. The only reason you think they’re not good is because you fell for Russian propaganda.

        • Democrats might suck, but Republicans suck worse. You have to support the lesser of two evils.

        • Democrats are awful but everyone already knew that. Shut up, already. <-- You are here

        • Democrats and Republicans are an evil duopoly. We should support a third party candidate. Someone who is moderate enough for both liberal and conservative voters to support. Please consider this former Democrat and/or Republican.

        • The Third Party is so good. They only lost because you couldn’t see how good they were. If you weren’t so stupid, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

            Condescension is no substitute for defensible ideas, but at least centrists are consistent in settling for the woefully inadequate.

        And yet, people like you demand we vote blue no matter who, and insist that the time for inter-party feuding is during the primary. And then when there is a primary, you tell people to shut the fuck up and not criticize leadership.

          Interesting way to put words into other people’s mouths. That’s called projecting, wrong party.

            If you don’t want people to notice that you don’t want people criticizing leadership, don’t whine that people are criticizing leadership.

                If you don’t agree with the party’s genocidal leadership, you must be a paid shill! At least according to people who agree with genocide.

                Quit whining that not everyone is as delighted with genocide as you are.
