There is now "for now." The news cycle is so fucking chaotic, that this decision/non-decision will blow by and that fucking monstrosity will be built - at least until Republicsns are put out of power in the midterms. We have to flip both chambers, y'all. At this point - we have to.

In January, I warned about potential attacks on the US due to the Felon's policies. I still believe that this is a legit concern. Even more concerning is what will happen if our military is unable to stand up in defense.

Reporter: Mr. President, this is at least the 5th time you’ve called off airstrikes against Iran since April. Why should it be any different? Trump: Well, you don’t know. I don’t know. I think we’re maybe going to get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.

I gotta tell y'all the truth... I'm tired of hearing about the Black vote. The Black vote has always been reliable - we have always met the moment. THAT'S why the Black community sat down. & y'all STILL talking about and antagonizing us. When it's you. Y'all the problem.
