How can you bomb a country for nothing and then beg them not to retaliate with force or economically (by restricting oil trade)?

So I guess we just keep protesting? Will it ever make a dent in changing anything? I am so frustrated by the lack of the Republicans doing anything to stop this. They are not holding to their Oath of Office. I received a letter from one of my MAGA Senators that I wrote. He didn't even answer any of my questions it was just a blob of nonsense! They don't answer a questions on the phone and they don't answer our questions through mail. I don't know what else to do besides protesting and yes it's a slight gain but is it going to get rid of Trump and his regime????(

Bombing of trump means bombing us. He is absolutely out of control and I don't understand why they are putting up with this! He should have been removed from office by now and we are still suffering the consequences of that bill that he wants to pass through that will make us all absolutely without anything!

The GOP doesn't want to relinquish any of their power or control. As for all the damage he is causing, the GOP thinks it's well worth it because of what they are pushing through. They really dont care about the common man... they want to set things up so they will never be out of control.

You are so right MT. And just wait until he puts those tariffs in motion. Groceries and everything else we all need will skyrocket. With cuts in Medicaid... CHILDREN will suffer. Cuts in the food stamp program will cause the entire family to suffer. Cars up 25%. I "started" to buy 4 tacos and a medium Coke at Taco Bueno - they wanted $24.95. I told them to drop the order. I have always been a very positive person, but thinking about whats to come to "we the people" there's not really too much to be positive about.

Remember, this isn't specifically Trump's doing. Netanyahu probably told him how only a strong, manly man would bomb Iran and Trump took the bait. Remember, as a whole the GOP is behind this too. And then there's this from Angry Staffer: I worry about that, because Iran undoubtedly has sleeper agents (or at least sympathizers) in the US, and we’re vulnerable to a Spidewerweb style attack."

You are so right in your statement Jennifer. He's a total mental case and I'm not trying to be funny. He most definitely has mental problems. The government talks about trying to stop people with mental issues to buy guns, yet the King wanna-be has the ability to bomb countries, getting us involved in MORE war. Talk about mental issues with people. I wonder what the history books will say about the people electing a crimingal, mental case, liar, democracy shredding, goverment ruining, family destroying, lunatic that he is to the white house?? If we don't stop him and the GOP who are scared of him....we'll be living under an oligarchy form of government. Many say we are now.

Sorry for the long response - my brother used to say, 'you can teach an ignorant person, but not a stupid one". We know where Tramp (not misspelled) lies in that equation.

Thank you Jennifer. I 'just' read (6/23 @ 1:10 Central time) the Iran is retaliating (again, imagine that) hitting military bases in the area. I've not read about deaths or injuries yet - but unfortunately there will be. So his dimwit actions are now putting our American servicemen and women under fire and probable deaths. Impeach this bastard, but we all know that won't happen since he runs the GOP AND the United States' safety, which is now in serious jeopardy.

Sorry, one more comment - I see no way of impeaching this mental case since the Democrats are outnumbered. I'm not even sure, we the people, can accomplish anything. But somehow he needs to be 'taken out' of office, Vance too. If you get my drift. Seriously though, just removed from office - he has no idea what he's doing or the aftermath that comes quickly thereafter.

we are living under a rouge terrorist regime. iran was not building a nuclear weapon. the US strikes didn’t hit anything, there’s ZERO nuclear materials/ radioactive contamination anywhere around the targeted sites. state media is working overtime trying to force the american people to support this war. please, remember that Iranians are human beings that are no different than us, with a government that doesn’t represent each and every individual person in the country, just like us. advocate for amnesty, always.

There wouldn't be significant radiation leakage because it's buried so deeply under rock and debris. The lack of radiation leakage means little, however. There's credible evidence to suggest the enriched uranium was moved. It's going to be a while before the bomb damage assessment is completed. Meanwhile, Trump kicked the hornet's nest and FAFO. There's a good chance that we'll see terrorist attacks on US bases and citizens soon. Remember, they don't have to hit back immediately. They're patient.

Expand full comment
lainmachine's avatar

the likelihood that the uranium was moved is almost certain. they’re not stupid people, they most likely moved it months ago. and that says what about our current administration? they bombed empty facilities, and that is it. that was not the expressed goal of the administration. so this entire thing was useless and unnecessary.

and yeah, as for “terrorist attacks” on US soil, the state needs you to be paralyzed and terrified. there’s always false flag operations used to manufacture consent for more bombing campaigns and ground invasions. critical examination of any coming “terrorist attacks” will be the most necessary response to them. the entire idea of “sleeper cells” awakening in the US is a not-so-elaborate ploy to continue forcibly deporting brown people into overseas concentration camps while the US (or israel, which is just the US with a different flag) goes in and ransacks their country.

(also, just because a bunker is deep within rock and debris does not mean that radioactive material would not immediately enter any groundwater surrounding the area.)

I don't think there's are sleeper cells, but countries with money can always find someone to carry out attacks. I have some anti-terrorist training. I know whereof I speak.

That’s exactly what will happen. They will retaliate and then he has an excuse to fire back. He created this mess in 2018 when he undid what Obama put into place. Only then—-he had guardrails, now the Supreme Court and all of his appointees allow him to do what he wants. And this will also create more chaos with ICE here…saying people are terrorists. This is the biggest mess created by one person I think we have ever seen.

Grant Rowson's avatar

But the other two times, he wasn't "convicted" in the impeachment. But assuming that the Senate does "convict" in a third impeachment, it would be very interesting to see what would happen -- would he actually leave? Would you have stand-off between the Secret Service people and whoever shows up to evict him? Would presumptive-President Vance then go and pardon him for all past sins? (this wouldn't restore DJT to presidency immediately, but does that set some stage for something down the road? (hmm, Vance could appoint Rump as his VP, could then resign (putting DJT back on the throne?) and then have DJT re-appoint Vance as VP??) All of this gets really murky with all the term rules, etc. -- but then when did this crowd ever seem concerned about following the rules/law?

No. Once impeached and removed, it doesn't matter if the next president pardons him. trump is barred from holding office again. Also, once impeached, he has no other choice except to leave. None.

This whole fiasco is trumps doing. If he hadn't of ripped up the JCPOA agreement Obama and many other countries negotiated with Iran, then signed, trump would have no reason whatsoever for any of this. But oh God, Obama signed it. Have to get rid of it. He doesn't a reason anyway, except trying to act like a mob boss, protecting Isreal. This was a fiasco started by trump, and I hope he pays dearly for it. Every service member who's going along is going against their oath. They're complicit. This isn't a game. This is real life, with real Iranian peoples lives. US soldiers are traitors to their oath that comply. No, is a complete sentence. Iran didn't nothing. Traitor trump, along with his traitorous soldiers, are the aggressors. If Iran comes after the USA, trump has alienated every allie we had just a short 6 months ago. The damage he's done in 5 short months is mind numbing.
