Who is going to be surprised when Trump/Hegseth order the US military to conduct a nuclear strike on Iran and what will the republican congress and senate do about it?

It’s worth saying, in the wake of Trump’s bizarre and vicious Easter morning tweet, that the Republican Party could have him out of office by the end of the day. This is on his cabinet and every Republican member of Congress.

As of yesterday, members of Congress who sit on the House or Senate Judiciary Committees can see unredacted versions of the Epstein files the Department of Justice (DOJ) has already released.

When Trump was elected to his first term I expected his narcissism and amorality would burn the GOP to the ground. I did not forsee him burning America to the ground, the destruction of NATO, AUKUS, and relations with Europe, Canada and Mexico.

Is Trump not taking America to a place that the gun lobby has used to rationalize an individuals 2nd amendment rights as protection against a tyrannical government? #trump

Mike Johnson and John Thune are now too late to mitigate the damage Trump has done to America. Like Nero, they have stood aside and allowed the catastrophic policies and lawless actions of Trump to go forward with impunity while they stand dumbstruck like the impotent men they are. #Greenland

My late 20s son suffered a debilitating brain injury 5 years ago leaving him a vision impared and tetraplegic. In rehehab he set himself 3 big goals. To walk, to finish university and to get a job. He has acheived all 3 as of this week. I marvel at his courage, and could not be more proud of him.

The extraordinary lengths the Trump DOJ is going to cover up for Trump over Epstein suggests that not only is Trump mentioned (in its self unsurprising given the photos of the 2 together) but that the information and context is extremely damaging to Trump.

Of Trumps 12 banned countries. Iran has qualified for the FIFA world cup. Creates a conundrum for FIFA and the US especially given the possible state of war that the counties may be in.

What type of depravity does it take to deploy Homeland security agents against elementary school children. What sickens me to my core is these decision makers claim to be Christian while they attack and scare these little kids. Think for a moment how your 6 -10 year old may react.

There are reasons why America has lower life expectancy, higher maternal and infant mortality rates than other developed countries. Politicians like Dan Crenshaw actively promoting the denial of health care for the poor is one of them. Employment should not be a pre condition to seeing a doctor.

When you elect a President with a pathological inability to admit he is wrong, who makes a monumental fuck up destroying the economy, retirement savings and jobs, we look to a republican led Senate and House who have been emasculated by fear of being primaried, the outcome is simple. We're fucked.

So far Trump has threatened to annex Canada, invade Greenland, commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza. His sidekick Musk has insulted world leaders, comitted illegal purges of government agencies. His idiot VP has managed to piss off the entire European union. And Chuck Schumer thinks he has a plan

Trump has sold himself as the great negotiator. He is not a negotiator and never has been. He is a bully and when bullying does not work, chaos ensues. You saw the perfect example in the Whitehouse when Zelensky refused to bend the knee.

Rubio had presidential ambitions, was humiliated, belittled, and abused by Trump, eventually withdrawing from the race. Only Rubio knows what motivated him to take on the hospital pass of being Trump's secretary of state, but he sat in that room looking remarkably like a victim of long-term abuse.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Ronald Reagan sucessfully broke down the Soviet Union Bloc culminating with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In recent times the only world leader that wants to reconstitute the Soviet Union Bloc has been Putin. Now he appears to have the unwavering support of Trump Vance and Rubio to do so.
