@TonyStark WaPo- that headline aged poorly.

I wish Trump were being pilloried to no end and suffering politically for tearing up the JCPOA and placing us on the precipice of war. Probably one of the more consequentially stupid decisions he’s ever made.

WaPo has a headline about him finding time for “diplomacy” and I don’t see any Republicans trying to reign him in.

So I guess I’m not getting that.

How Israel’s attack on Iran puts the U.S. in a difficult situation

For perspective on the current state of affairs between Iran and Israel, Geoff Bennett speaks with Ernest Moniz, secretary of energy during the Obama administration and a key negotiator and architect of the Iran nuclear agreement that was signed in 2015 before President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the agreement.

I know all the “Donald the Dove” people are shocked right now that he might break his very, very principled (/s) anti-war stance on Iran but in case anyone is wondering, he already broke that stance months ago, when he killed almost as many civilians in 2 months in Yemen as the US had the past 23 years.

P.S.: Trump was and is worse.

Of course, because media coverage of the myriad of Biden's policy achievements was pretty much nonexistent and misinformation and bad opinion pieces ran like wildfire instead, your average voter has no idea how much Biden invested in the future of our nation and are equally unaware of how much effort Trump is putting into destroying it.

Anyone who thought the $2 trillion in deficits piled up by way of DJT's, wealth-targeted 2017 tax giveaway was okay to let go hasn't begun to understand the devastation within this sick bill.

TRUMP’S $12 BILLION TOURISM WIPEOUT:
Four months into the president’s second term, his policies are upending tourism worldwide. Nine charts show the toll on global travel.

It’s nothing but divorced from reality to think we wouldn’t have been better off with a President Biden or Harris in this and in so many other ways.

Great job, people and the disinformation campaigns you fell for.

Trump's direct intervention marks a historic escalation in the Middle East.

@TonyStark JFC. The “anti-war” president. People never tried to understand that Biden and his administration worked to keep this sort of thing at bay and now we’re in it.

Make light of it all you want, but I never got a text from my daughter who’s in her bed like this while Joe Biden was President.

Dumbasses on this platform think they’re above it all.

Me, too, man.

This is what he’s quoting. Honestly as I sit here—no election in sight—Trump ads are nonstop, from Tubi to YouTube.

Meanwhile, some expect Democrats to fight a disinfo army with a fraction of the GOP’s resources, held to a standard Republicans won’t even pretend to follow.

I can’t even explain how much I hate this shit.

Democrats once again expecting to play by a different set of rules and still win, instead of holding both parties to the same standard.

@TonyStark Crap, we are still looking for solid opposition leaders and these yahoos already with the litmus tests. I still recall how Gabbard started the 'Bernie was mistreated craze', so I'm not trusting anyone like in that post. The only litmus test we need is anti-fascist. I don't care anything else about anyone.
@TonyStark and why are any dems left on twitter?

@timo21 I wish some would come here but the few who did didn’t get treated very well. (Not by me- I didn’t do that.)

I don’t do BlueSky so I don’t know who’s on there.

Sigh.

@timo21

This is a good way to make sure Citizens United never goes away. To pass legislation, you have to win elections, and right now that means having some money to fight with. Nobody should not be shooting themselves in the foot on this but here we are.

This guy can’t move forward.

@TonyStark

I don’t understand how banning the use of super PACs by democratic candidates will get rid of Citizens United. All I see is that it will hamstring democratic candidates.

Stupid idea.

@MJ @TonyStark

And there are states like California and Alaska (and I think Louisiana?) that have “jungle” primaries where the top-2 PRIMARY vote-getters go onto the general election.

You’ve taken money away from one team, but not the other. You could end-up with 2 GOPers running against each other in the General Election, because the Dem came in 3rd.

#Puritopians are gonna be the death of me.

@Tengrain @MJ @TonyStark Except they're clearly only talking about Democratic primaries.
@TonyStark @Tengrain @rupert So are we. And even if we weren’t, it’s a bad idea.
@MJ @TonyStark It's a perfect Bernie issue:
1) It has no chance of happening so he can push it forever
2) It's "self evidently right" so he can keep yelling at people who point out obvious problems
3) And he'll never have to resolve those obvious problems. Cause #1: it'll never happen.
4) Lather, rinse, repeat.
5) Please send another $27. Those lakefront houses don't buy themselves ...
