This war will not take the eyes of the nation off the potential pedophile president in my opinion.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

It actually proves his guilt.

KellyW's avatar

Exactly!! “The lady doth protest too much”

Akrose's avatar

Thank you Aaron for the news!

Trump wants to use THE WAR POWERS ACT to take over the country

Bela's avatar

and was so predictable, what an ass

Wendy In Neverland's avatar

Why is trump allowed to go to war without Congress????

Peter Tey's avatar

He is NOT allowed, but he does it anyway

Leah Baum's avatar

The last war authorized by Congress was WWII. Past presidents have found loopholes and other ways to get around it.

Connie Nichols's avatar

Yet another thing in our gov't that needs fixed. Congress should always get to vote on whether our country goes to war or not because it's our family members that are at risk of death or harm in a war.

Judy Steiner's avatar

It is not that Trump is in the files. It is who else in the files. Perhaps a dictator from a foreign country to him is in debt. Just saying.

What a debacle! Trump cannot unilaterally go to war. He needs Congress. This war has no merit and is unprovoked. If he thinks Article V of NATO will save us, he is sadly mistaken. Unless Venezuela strikes back. Article V only goes into effect if we are invaded.

Maybe that is what they were discussing in the Situation Room. How to deflect. For him to put our sailors and soldiers in harm's way the save his personal ass is sick.

Sen. Kennedy is right. This is not about going after Trump. It is about holding pedophiles accountable.

Bela's avatar

Well it IS that tRump is in the files, but not just that. I am thinking some big money donors. Thiel's name is getting tossed about. What about Musk? Maybe a supreme court justice, haha!

ELIZABETH KUNEMOTO's avatar

Agreed! No way will WE THE PEOPLE forget this grotesque behavior of billionaires!

JV's avatar

Well said, Aaron

Gwen's avatar

He’s not a potential pedophile, he IS a pedophile 🤬

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

Nope it won't. We haven't forgotten about Gaza 😠 Trump is doing NOTHING

Eric Glover's avatar

A war with Venezuela will only compound the disgrace and shame of a runaway administration/regime

Sharon Flynn's avatar

Where is he finding the money to fund this car’s our citizens don’t want? Impeach him please. He is a danger to our country.

Tess's avatar

So now we can all focus on Hegseth….Give me a break!!! Thanks for keeping up with all this Aaron—go REST! ❤️

Dani's avatar

We can chew gum and walk at the same time. We still want the Epstein files. Has Congress approved this new war boogeyman?

Faith Johnston's avatar

I would be very surprised if they are even given the chance to yea or nay considering this administration’s complete disregard for the constitution

Katherine R's avatar

I hope we impeach them all.

Eric Glover's avatar

Really! As far as I know we haven't even seen anything to back up allegations that the fishermen are smuggling drugs

S. A. Linden's avatar

Absolutely. But I read an ominous post this morning that exposes how the Trump 1.0 White House were implicated heavily in the attempted but failed coup in Venezuela in 2020. The skeptics are vindicated in their suspicions.

This critical information should be read by every American to know that we're about to replay the same "Wag the Dog" scenario in spades. The Regime's fossil backers led by Charles Koch et al are squarely behind this horrific and illegal plan, and god knows how many others who crave Venezuela's rich resources. Many of us knew that the corrupt shill that they were trying to install in Venezuela should the coup work was Juan Guaido. Read about this stooge in the following post and the creeps who wanted to replace a left wing regime with an equally corrupt US-backed regime which would do our bidding:

<https://thegrayzone.substack.com/p/white-house-insiders-knew-of-2020>

They are getting ready to try this again, folks, but without the tentative generals who held Trump back the first time. Now it'll be gangbusters with "Foxy Pete" to create plenty of theater and misery for a nation that has been abused quite enough. Remember, Colombia's Petro is right next door and not exactly in love with Donald.

Bakt's avatar

Only Congress can declare War. That drunk still hasn’t learned how the US government works. Recall this clown for his ineptitude!

Katherine R's avatar

Yet this administration follow “ 0” rules of law. So discusting.

Bakt's avatar

Disgusting - so true.

NiKO SekoYa's avatar

Dude, the war on drugs is over.

Even during the announced and massively funded ‘war on drugs' they didnt even go this unapologetically demonic.

So if this isn't a war on drugs, and the War Tzar is justifying an international invasion where humans on both sides WILL DIE…like, this is more of a bold face lie than ‘WMDs' in Iraq that called my uncle away from his kids to drive a truck in the Iraqi desert to be blown to bits and send him back with shards of metal in his neck, fire in his nerve endings, and never-ending nightly nightmares….

So we are now doing the same to someone else's uncle to go to war in a foreign place to ‘get the drugs out of ‘merica ‘ ! 🇺🇸

BUT IS IS JUST A TOTAL DISTRACTION FROM THE PRESIDENT COVERING UP HIS INVOLVEMENT IN A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING THAT LASTED DECADES AND STILL DOES.

Why. The. Fuck. Are we talking about anything else?

Lisa Meehan's avatar

Following Netanyahu’s playbook! I think it is time for war on the oligarchs.

Peter Tey's avatar

It is just an excuse

Innocent people will die

Innocent fishermen are already killed at sea

This is sad, sad joke

Vel Santic's avatar

I know!! there's nothing "joke" here, it's hitlerist-stalinist what tRumputin&his cult are perpetrating.

7om 🤟's avatar

I'm doing the we're not buying it / blackout the system. Whatever it takes a to weaken people keeping accountability at bay and get closer to justice.

Doug Kassel's avatar

We can’t go to war based someone’s paranoid delusions and desire to not keep his sex crimes center stage.

Richard Jasper's avatar

It's called “Wag the Dog.” Watch the 1997 movie (Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro) of the same name.

Cheryl Beck-Ruff's avatar

At this point, this administration’s playbook is ridiculously predictable.

Tango's avatar

Exactly…. Surprise surprise 🙄

M K's avatar

I would hope Congress says NO TO WAR. djt JUST WANT A DIVERSION AND TO STEAL VENEZUELA'S OIL.

WE DON'T NEED TO PUT OUR MILITARY IN HARMS WAY BECAUSE djt DOESN'T WANT THE TRUTH TO COME OUT.

LISTEN TO THE VICTIMS!!!!!!!

cheryl's avatar

I've always said Trump is predictable.

Kathleen's avatar

Horrifying, pitiful, and dangerous distraction!

MsEnfranchised's avatar

Yes, but it's a distraction from so much more than these files.. .

People in the US are already dying from poverty - and the number is about to increase exponentially. We need to focus on the budget and program cuts, and the criminalization of homelessness.

Backstreets's avatar

I don’t know why we need a military operation to deflect attention but you are right — the Epstein mess is serious and I can only imagine how the victims are dealing with all the attention — but it deflection enough to keep those responsible from dealing with the pressing matters of the day you bring up. Killing Venezualeans or whatever ever the plan, we will kill innocents because Trump couldn’t keep his pecker in his pants.

MsEnfranchised's avatar

Pretty sure they are going to Venezuela because they want their oil... The US has been bombing boats for months and the US warship started to head there over two weeks ago now.

As for something else you said - while I can't speak on how the victims are handling things, I can speak on how other survivors like myself are handling this constant barrage and the triggering reminders throughout the day every single day -- and I can say that it is a struggle. Being unable to tune away from the news because of the need to be informed makes these files a maddening topic.

There is no such thing as justice, but hopefully we can protect other girls from these men.

Tina Christine Steivanart's avatar

You can prohibit anything with words that will trigger you. It’s in settings. Hope that helps

Peter Tey's avatar

He claims there is no money for SNAP, in other words let them starve

But there's money for a war, for fake reasons

MsEnfranchised's avatar

Nothing new, unfortunately. From 1993, Tupac's song "Keep Ya Head Up" --> "they got money for war but can't feed the poor"

Peter Tey's avatar

So sad, but so true

We need to fight this mentality

dawncartermallin's avatar

While it's on my mind, have we heard any chatter about the Supreme Court and Trump's illegal tariffs?

MsEnfranchised's avatar

The latest I heard was just more tariffs... This time, more than 100% tariff on pasta from Italy. Ridiculous! They want our freedom and our carbs? Not on my watch!

Kathleen M. Eisenhauer's avatar

From one Kathleen to another, I couldn’t agree w/you more!!

Backstreets's avatar

So Trump orders DOJ to investigate Democrats about Epstein. Huh? This ship is going down faster than the Titanic. And the White House ordering DOJ to investigate Eric Swallwell is just another check on a lengthy enemies list. Nevermind that the FBI skipped major security checks for Bomgino and a couple of others. Who gets to investigate that?

Pondering this Post's avatar

Makes me sick. The loss of innocent lives to cover up a pedophile ring at the highest levels! Point? Get those sick MFs out of office!

Peter Tey's avatar

Me too, it is sickening

Patrice's avatar

My sentiments exactly 🤬

Where are the true Patriots to relieve us of this nightmare?

That's the first thing that ran through my head!

Molly Kathleen's avatar

Woooof. Can't think of a word bad enough.🖤💔🖤💔🖤

Tango's avatar

More desperation murders coming on behalf of the regime masked by calling it military operations. No, it’s murder and those are War Crimes… criminals…

Melissa's avatar

I believe that investigating why the two survivors the US saved after attacking the submersible, were repatriated to Columbia & Equador who I believe released them. Why weren't they arrested? Or killed? Maybe they weren't guilty at all? Maybe the two killed in the attack were innocent? Murdered?

LilyFae's avatar

It also seems extremely suspicious that the top commander over these strikes chose to resign at the same time. Sounds like he was asked to do something he didn’t want to do. Perhaps a decision he made is why the two people survived.

Barbara's avatar

Epstein files will never go away. They don’t even know what’s on those boats.

Peter Tey's avatar

They don't care, it is crazy fake

Melissa's avatar

I'm sure the people killed in these unsolicited attacks have families who would disagree…

Peter Tey's avatar

I read that at least one Colombian family wants reparations. These are really crimes. He doesn’t care. Ha acts willfully .

JAH's avatar

Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet. Both renowned forensic pathologists Michael Baden and Cyril Wecht said Epstein did NOT commit suicide that he was murdered at the hands of someone else. The mark on his neck was way too high for a hanging.

James Murphy's avatar

why isn't this talked about more?

JAH's avatar

I’m not sure, probably because media bows down to djt. I saw a documentary on Amazon Prime otherwise I wouldn’t have known.

Vel Santic's avatar

even efffin' bbc started sucking his ..........

aaarrrgh.

Melissa's avatar

Trump was in office when Epstein died.

Kay Boling's avatar

And Charlie Kirk was shot days after he started campaigning hard for Trump to release the Epstein files!

Polly Fox's avatar

Yes! I heard this too! His brother had a private autopsy done. Netflix has a 2 part series I think. If you haven’t watched it, it’s a good overview of what was happening.

JAH's avatar

Thanks, I didn’t know that! I need to watch it.

I watched a documentary, probably on Amazon Prime and both Wecht and Baden were in it voicing their findings.

Sharon Flynn's avatar

I have wondered about that issue as it seemed too convenient. No wonder people won’t speak up.

Well someone sure wanted Epstein shut up.

I think the shooting that killed the bystander and the bullet *supposedly* hit the traitor’s ear was a set up and I question who really wanted Kirk shut up as well. He was calling for the release of the Epstein files and the traitor in the WH knew how many people followed Kirk.

Nothing at all would surprise me.

uRNangel423's avatar

I agree JA, there are several people that come to mind that wanted Epstein quieted. I’m not a conspiracist, but Epstein was murdered to prevent him from going on trial or even giving a deposition. The “bullet grazing ear scenario” was a fake too, the blood smears were going in the wrong direction if the shooter was at side of him, how could the 2smears of blood on his cheek get there? And no scar? As far as Kirk, he wanted the Epstein files released, that made the DT uneasy. And the behavior of the “devastated loved one” at the funeral and again when introducing the hilly boy at a rally, “little too much pda” there. Here’s what I thought about that, DT was grooming Kirk to be JD VP, and now that he’s gone JD has “stated that Usha should convert”, but why would she after 10 years of being married to him? He’s keeping his options open for a new flotus.

JAH's avatar

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but Dr Baden and Dr Wecht are very, very good forensic pathologists. If they say Epstein was murdered, I believe them. You know if djt has been struck he’d have paraded out doctors etc to get as much sympathy as he could. That never happened and no official report was ever released. And the timing, when he wasn’t doing well on the campaign trail and Kamala was. All too convenient. As for Kirk’s murder, I think his non-grieving wife is on the hunt for a new sugar daddy. I mean selling his paraphernalia at his service, so tacky. And Vance is a pig and doesn’t mind hurting his wife with pda right in front of her face. As for wanting her to convert, he’s no Christian so who is he to say she should convert?? This entire regime are awful human beings and I hope it catches up to them tenfold.

Vel Santic's avatar

You think repukkkes are any better than him? Am so skeptical of that part.

Melissa's avatar

He had been feuding with Nick Fuentes who had posted a day or so before Kirk was killed something about him not deserving to live or he should be dead but it was deleted immediately after it happened.

Vel Santic's avatar

among thieves, there's no honor. they're all trash, to me.

Alessandra Sheehy's avatar

The people won’t be distracted from the Epstein files. The victims must be protected and all of the perpetrators must be brought to justice!

Megan 🐸🍉🍋🌈's avatar

Didn’t Trump say, he likes the idea of not having election because we are at war.

Dee Joy's avatar

Omg this evil reign of terror has got to be stopped

Michael Easterwood's avatar

We have elections during wars, Ukraine does not because its in their Constitution not ours.WW1,2,Civil War for reference

Vel Santic's avatar

Also, Ukraine is brutally genocidized by terrorist putin of kremlin, d.j. tRump's master. USA is also getting genocidized by d.j. tRump from inside.

Robot Bender's avatar

Well MAGA, your sons are about to be sent to die for nothing. How's that "no foreign wars" going for you? What are you going to say when your sons come home in boxes by the hundreds?

all those lost voters…..

V60's avatar

Thank you for validating where all my time disappears just keeping up watching this burning shit show arsonist burn the house down

DL Jr's avatar

Yes, it’s fuckn exhausting!

As a retired guy, at least I have some time to devote to keeping up.

I never thought I’d spend these last years fighting for democracy in America. 😡

KelBelmcw's avatar

Same for me. I just hope the last few years of my life are relatively calm. But the thought of leaving this mess to my kids and grandkids is horrifying!!

Heidi Schroder's avatar

Same! Keep up the good fight!

Donna's avatar

Me too but I’m still working full time because I have no idea what my future looks like anymore

Dee's avatar

Congress has to approve it!! 😡😡😡😡😡

Emma G's avatar

Trump doesn't think Congress needs to approve anything he does.

Dee's avatar

Yes I know! I am so sick of it! Now Mike J has just closed the house again for the rest of the week!! Taxation without representation!! 😡

Toni's avatar

You're kidding!🤬 He is the worst Speaker in US history! He and the other Repugnicans in Congress need a truant officer to haul their asses back to do their jobs!

Vel Santic's avatar

to haul their asses to prison led by their dear leader&his spawn first.

Bela's avatar

dock their pay and benefits

Heidi Schroder's avatar

I don’t believe he thinks Congress needs to exist- except to bow to him.

Stalee's avatar

Thank you. But, given the spineless wonders sitting in the Congress they will rubber stamp this like they’ve done everything else! &$!#%!🤬

LeaDolittle's avatar

Nope. He said in a live newsbriefing several weeks ago that he did not acknowledge their head of state, so he did not have to “declare war”; by extension did not have to seek congressional approval.

Emma G's avatar

This administration disgusts me.
