Today, it became to my knowledge that Trump used to speech he was not going to get involved in wars and he was sort of a pacifist.

I think most of us who know at least a bit of typology and a bit of Trump, know that was a lie since the beginning.

Yup he in fact was predicting Obama would bomb Iraq to escape scrutiny 12-13 years ago.

Every accusation is an admission.

I wonder who baited him. The guy can be baited with a tweet.

So did Iran now officially close/slow Gulf oil traffic?

Everything that exits that hole in his face is a lie.

Trumps bill is so bad geologic time comes into it.​

115°F in Spain, forest fires in Greece, heat alarm all over France, draught in Germany threatening harvests ...

So there's been two other disturbing but resonant editorial cartoons since Trump was elected for his first term that I've seen. This is the third thing (which I just saw a few days ago) that is likewise a sledgehammer to the gut...

‘Goodbye Trump, hello Asia’ is the EU’s new trade strategy. Will it work?

German conservative leader calls for European nuclear deterrent ‘independent’ from US


As I said Europe that is spending 5% of GDP simply doesn't need US that much. Since that on it's own makes the biggest defense budget in the world.
This really is starting to look as if someone didn't do the math when they made spending and trade request(s).

It's gotta go back through the house.

It's gotta go back through the house.

We all know they will fall into line. They always do.
If Murkowski hadn't buckled out of self-interest, Collins would have.

They can burn in hell at the mid-terms if there's any justice.

Everybody call your reps. Remind them that what they do will not be forgotten.

This is yet another stand up and start bitching at your reps moment. Tell your normie friends. Be voices crying in the Wilderness if you have to. Let Cassandra of Troy be our guide if its for all it matters. But I dont think we can afford to go gentle into that good night without doing everything we can to rage against the dying of the light of liberty. Hell I'll take late converts from the other side if they're finally ready to get on the right side of history. Wars make for strange bedfellows, even invisible ones, even ones hidden in plain sight, and even metaphorical ones when the stakes are this high. It's exhausting, but just knowing that they're doing all this to try to break us and crush our spirits to the point they can just walk over us... makes me want to spite them.

Here's to hoping folks across the country and across the classes will hold the line.
Because if this aint a hold the line moment for the working class...we'll likely like the next one even less.

Good luck out there folks.
Don't give up.
Don't lose hope.
Even if they take everything else.
Never Surrender your hope that we can overcome.
Even if for no other reason...than because they want to take it from you.
See them in hell first.

They want your will...
They want your exhaustion...
They want your hope...
Give them hell instead...​
