Barack Obama reached a 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The deal required the most intrusive inspection regime ever negotiated, allowing 24/7 access to sites.

Trump ripped up that deal in 2018.

Today, we're at war with Iran to prevent it from getting nuclear weapons.

Trump voters did this to the United States--both in 2016 and 2024.

@augieray @bartt NO you are NOT at war with Iran because Congress did not give permission to do that. This is not war, this is war crimes.

@ruurd @augieray The Philadelphia Inquirer puts it well: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/trump-iran-war-illegal-20260228.html
A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change ... in Washington

Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

@bartt @augieray And that is what I mean. Stop hiding behind legalese that does not even hold beyond your own borders. Just address the elephant in the room: the USA is a state of cons, crooks and terrorists. Now go do something about it.

@ruurd @bartt What do you think individual citizens shoud do about it, I wonder. I've written my elected officials. I've marched. I've voted.

Do you think insulting all Americans in this manner is a way to encourage change? I agree with you more than I disagree, but I block people who simply dump on the Americans who care. Go find some MAGA Americans to snipe at!
