  Terrifying rumors are swirling about Israel pressuring Trump to launch a nuclear strike on Iran immediately after the midterms or some other major escalation. I wish I was sure that this was too unhinged to take seriously, but we do not live in sane times where these kinds of dismissals are possible

  Uh, no it was Bibi who whispered the idea of striking Iran to Trump's ear because Trump is to stupid to know anything about Iran or Hormuz in the first place, someone had to plant that idea in his ego filled brain of his and it was obviously Bibi.

  515/ AP reports: "BREAKING: The U.S. has conducted defensive strikes on some Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official says. Amazing how aggressively attacking a country is now called “defensive strikes”.

  "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging the Trump administration to carry out another wave of strikes on Iran, officials told The Associated Press." This was reported just a few hours before the strikes. I still think Netanyahu may be the daddy in his relationship ship with Trump. # USPol # politics https://…

  I'm sure you know a bunch of people I knew over there. I was pretty depressed I got Riley because I wanted to go light initially. Between the awesome community we made out there in Manhattan, and the outdoors activities the place really grew on my wife and I. Definitely miss it.

  I am getting increasingly tired of the "Yes I absolutely despise this person and know he's a congenital liar BUT in this specific case his undocumented claims dovetail with my own priors and biases so I think we all need to hear what he has to say" thing. 🙄

  if true, hopefully some non-fools people left in the trump admin ask: why the USA? israel has its own nukes. why don’t they do it? are we the patsy here to take the blame and destroy whatever is left of int’l norms, the UN, and be a pariah? and what then restrains putin from dropping one on kyiv?

  Just one day after Iran “…said an agreement with the U.S. is possible if Washington "demonstrates goodwill"...". So much for “goodwill” from any Trump regime! Something USA’s former allies already know. US has conducted defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, US official says https:// apnews.com/article/iran-us-tru…

  They don't "make'' us do anything. That's entirely due to trump and republican voters, and non-voters.

  Certainly NOT inconceivable. Trump is a monster. A narcissistic psychopath. And his feelings are hurt, too. If he tries to pull end-of-the-world shit, is there anyone left in the military, who will step up to stop him? Congress? Nah. Cowering in their closets at home.

  He will do this. We must tell our representatives that we ONLY support those (regardless of party) who recognize the complete perfect coequality of all living beings.

  There is no going back. That's true. But Trump is not what you usually call rational or sensible. Let's hope the people surrounding him are.

  Trump wants to be remembered after he’s gone. His self grandiose monuments can be dismantled later so that’s not a guaranteed method. A nuclear bombing another country? He’d be guaranteed go down in history as the second President to do so. And the first one to do so without a declaration of war!
