Something we can all get behind
& will we ever know?
- Incorrect target information?
- Defective ordnance guidance?
- Shameful secret?
Will we ever know? Before November's election?
The Trump administration is catastrophic?
But it only happens once (or twice) in 250 years? Four times per millennium?
So nothing to worry about?
Seems to me Trump has taught us: we need guardrails, sanity redundancy. The Republican party simply cannot be relied upon to keep itself within rational bounds.

I don't think illiterate war mongering MAGAts have any idea how big Iran is.
it's a country of 93 MILLION people.
It's more than double the population of iraq and MORE THAN FOUR TIMES THE SIZE. And it's been preparing for decades for this exact war.
People are not understanding that USA is going to lose this war. The hundreds of billions of dollars you spend on 'military contracts' has lulled your country into a false sense of military superiority.
All you have is nukes, and once trump realizes that fact we all lose together.
Now - ask yourself how long the US has been in Iraq and how many Americans have died there.
It's complicated.
What is so odd is that it makes me angry to see how evil and arrogant we were in 1953 when we destroyed the democracy in Iran before, but now it seems we are even worse?
But I don't think other countries are going to sit this one out.
By murdering a government that never harmed us once again, we have left the rest of the world little choice.
We are the bad guy by any definition.

Trump called Iran a global exporter of terror.
Israel supported such rhetoric.
Opinion & national policy may vary elsewhere in the Middle East, and elsewhere on Earth.
There's obvious reason for suspicion.
President Trump has waged War against two weakened petro-States: Venezuela, and now Iran.
These are milestones as Trump consolidates his own wealth & power.

And then there's the mystery company - the one that received a $143 million DHS contract but has no headquarters, no website, no staff, and was incorporated eight days before receiving the contract

"It is SO much worse than you thought." said Elizabeth Warren after walking out of a classified briefing on Trump's Iran war. Senators are TERRIFIED and you should be too.
Warren said the Trump administration has no plan in Iran, that the war is based on lies, and that it was launched without any imminent threat to the country. She didn't mince words. She said she's angry. She said she feels grief for the people already dead. And she promised to fight to end it.
She wasn't alone.
Senator Chris Murphy called it "a multi-trillion-dollar, open-ended conflict with a very confusing and constantly shifting set of goals." Senator Blumenthal told reporters he's "more fearful than ever" that U.S. ground troops are coming.
Senator Van Hollen said the administration couldn't even get their story straight behind closed doors, calling it "complete incoherence" with "constantly shifting narratives." Senator Markey said the briefing "confirmed what we already knew: Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it."
These are sitting U.S. senators who just saw the classified intelligence, and they came out looking like they'd seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent his Wednesday briefing bragging about "death and destruction from the sky all day long" and saying the U.S. is "punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be." He also found time to whine about press coverage.
Six American service members are already dead. The administration's justification for the war, that Iran was preparing an unprovoked attack on U.S. forces, has never been backed by official intelligence assessments. Rubio's own explanation amounted to saying the "imminent threat" was that Iran might retaliate if attacked, which is not a threat, it's a consequence of your own decision.
Trump promised no more forever wars. Five days in, senators with security clearances are warning us this has no endgame, no justification, and no exit.
The only plan appears to be more bombs.
Remember this the next time someone tells you elections don't matter.

Just confirmed what many (most) of us already believed. And don't forget that Iran is far larger than Iraq and just how long was the US there and how many Americans died?

- perhaps -
BUT !
News reports of War abroad can displace domestic reports of more familiar issues.
It may not make the Epstein files issue any less alarming. But the Epstein scandal has been in the news for years.
Netanyahu / Trump's War is barely a week old. And with hundreds of human corpses involved, and $Billions of $dollars expended,
the news displacement isn't all that inappropriate.
BUT !
Sex crimes are no less severe during War. But there's only so much room on the front page.

The accusations aren't just recent ....
Over the past four decades many women have come forward, both on and off the record, to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, inappropriate touching, sexual harassment, unwanted advances, and rape. These are the stories of 31 of those women.
1985 - Jessica Leeds (38): Leeds had been flying from the Midwest to New York when a flight attendant offered to upgrade her seat to first class. She sat next to Donald Trump, who asked her if she was married. She told him she was divorced. When their food was taken away Leeds said Trump assaulted her, grabbing her breasts and trying to put his hand up her skirt. "His hands were everywhere. It was an assault."
1989 - Ivana Trump (40): Trump physically and sexually assaulted Ivana in a fit of rage, ripping hair from her scalp. She confided with friends that he had raped her, but would later recant her statement in Harry Hurt III's book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald Trump.
Early 1990s - Kristin Anderson (~20): Anderson, an aspiring model, said Trump groped her underneath her skirt, touching her through her underwear at the China Club in New York City.
1992 - Jill Harth (22): During a dinner with Donald Trump and her longtime boyfriend, Harth, a makeup artist, said she felt Trump's hands reaching up her skirt to touch her crotch. She escaped to ......

BOOM: Noem SQUIRMS as Democrat CORNERS her into lying under oath about MILLIONS of dollars in taxpayer money that magically ended up in the hands of her friends.
Enjoy the brutal takedown.
Rep Neguse: DHS identified only FOUR companies -- four of the hundreds of thousands of companies in the United States -- you identified FOUR to help your propaganda campaign.
One of those is this Safe America Media Company. Where is Safe America media headquartered?
Kristi Noem: I don't know.
Rep Neguse: I don't know either, Madam Secretary. We can't find it. We can't find a website. We did find an address that's registered for this company. Do you know where that address is?
Kristi Noem: Is there a problem with this contract?
Rep Neguse: Yeah! I'll tell you about it.
Madam Secretary, the company is registered to a political operative in Virginia. Do you know, just by way of example, whether this company that received $143 million in taxpayer dollars, has it ever done work for the government before?
Kristi Noem: I don't know. (A LIE, as he soon demonstrates)
Rep Neguse: The answer is IT HAS NOT. And do you know why we know that?
Because it was incorporated eight days, EIGHT days before this contract went out.
You want the American people to believe that this is all above board?
That $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before, and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative.
And of course, one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to you back when YOU were governor of South Dakota.
The reason why I ask these questions is that this is taxpayer money.
The facts will become public in this regard.
