I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

Calling Trump starting a war a “distraction” makes that word meaningless. It’s the whole story, he flails any way he can to feel any sense of control and dominance. And he doesn’t care who he gets killed. And millions could die because he tore up a peace deal because he didn’t make it.

Trump says we bombed Iran
Trump: We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.
Congratulations to our great American Warriors.
There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

This doesn’t even touch on the fact that you can grieve people who are still alive, and in that case no AI generated nonsense is going to fill in that hole; want closure with an abusive parent/ex/etc? There’s no way in hell you’ll be able to duplicate those needs.

Shorebirds!
A three panel comic. In panel 1, two people are facing each other. The first person asks "Hey, do you want to drive really far and spend hours staring at distant, rapidly moving gray-brown objects while trying to find subtle differences between them?" and the second says "No." In panel 2, the first person says "What if they're bird-shaped?" and the second person says "Then absolutely, yes." In panel 3, the two people are standing and looking through binoculars at distant shorebirds on a beach. The first person says "Yay shorebirds season!" and the second says "Woo!"

If you haven't seen this answer Trump gave today to a policy question... well, it's really something.
Q: What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable?
Trump: Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is, child care couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with child care… So we'll take care of it. Thank you

It has been really, deeply sad to watch the Audubon organization — which I’ve done work for in the past, and had some real respect for — go to such despicable lengths to stop its employees from unionizing. They could have decided to make a deal at any point. Instead they decided to go to war.

I recall a section from a Rick Steves guide in which he warns male American tourists about scams in which attractive European women lure them in, then steal from them. It was like, "Use common sense. You know you're not that handsome." Even these deluded twits know they aren't worth $400K/month.
