This war is stupid.
We went to war with Iran under false pretenses. Last year the White House told us Iran had an active nuclear weapons program that we "completely obliterated." Then told us last week that Iran was "days away" from nuclear capabilities. They told us regime change was the goal. Now Trump admits the next government "could be worse." Which is it?
We're running out of precision weapons. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil is surging, and shipping lanes are paralyzed. There's no exit strategy, no endgame, and no plan for what comes next - just open-ended conflict in a region we spent 20 years trying to leave.
This was never our fight to start. Iran wasn't attacking the US mainland. There was no imminent threat to American citizens. Yet here we are, bogged down in another Middle East quagmire while the debt piles up and the military-industrial complex cashes checks.
They sold us nuclear weapons that didn't exist. They promised stability and delivered chaos. And now we're stuck holding the bag while gas prices spike and the world wonders if American foreign policy has any coherent strategy at all.
Regime change failed in Iraq. It failed in Afghanistan. And it's failing in Iran before it even starts. When do we learn?

In early 2008 it was open talk in NY society that Epstein moved all his assets and fled to Israel to escape his charges
From there he negotiated his sweetheart plea deal which allowed him to come back and escape real justice

- Trump was not involved with Israel bombing Iran!
- He was involved, but that’s good!
- He’s pursuing diplomacy and peace!
- The diplomacy was fake, but that’s good!
- He’s bombing Iran, but no Regime Change!
- He’s doing Regime Change, but that’s good!

I’ve been accused of having Iraq war derangement syndrome
This is not true
I have Iran (1953), Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen derangement syndrome!

Watch the @NewsNation host get absolutely destroyed by @scotthortonshow when he asks about Israel and Iran.

Some of us vehemently objected to both.
That's the difference between (a) believing in free speech as an actual principle, and (b) cynically exploiting it only to protect your own allies and views while justifying censorship of the views and people you most hate.

I cannot believe the number of people in my mentions bending over backwards to justify the regime deporting a guy for opposing _Israel_ killing people.
Snap the fuck out of it. You were free speech absolutists against the Democrats _three months ago_.
You're next, again.

I will never understand why so many Conservatives, especially Christian Conservatives align themselves with / defend / promote Andrew Tate.
There are endless videos of him telling you directly what a piece of shit he is, how he treats women etc...
Make it make sense.

Before you start, I've spent plenty of my time banging the drum about grooming gangs in the UK. I grew up in the Heywood/Rochdale area of Greater Manchester where one of the most notorious rape gangs operated.
I've interviewed survivors and criticised our institutions for sweeping it under the carpet due to 'cultural sensitivity'. These are unforgivable crimes and we should never stop talking about it. And I've been called all sorts of names for doing so. So, I'm glad more people are now talking about it.
But if you think what Musk is doing here is anything short of dangerous lunacy that only increases the safety concerns of British MPs, then we aren't the same.

Without fail, every time we interview a nurse or doctor from Gaza the segment gets a fraction of views compared to the average. All of our lowest performing videos (on youtube) are these interviews and they’re all compelling and powerful. This algorithm world is straight evil.
American doctor returns from Gaza and tells @krystalball and @emilyjashinsky on @BreakingPointsN that:
"In April, we saw a genocide. In November, it just seemed like a full-on Holocaust."

There's no more blatant bullshit than US/EU lectures on a "rules-based international order."
France now says it won't enforce ICC warrants because Israel isn't a signatory.
But Russia isn't either, yet the West demanded S. Africa and Brazil arrest Putin if he went there.

I hope I see self-reflection instead of people blaming everyone but themselves. Dems threw away the youth vote in 2024 and even worse their future support. Insane that some pundits saw a genocide as some trivial detail and not the conscience of a young person torn and conflicted.

I’m not sure how much of a political victory it is for Biden that Assange is free. It’s not like he pardoned him. He forced him to plead guilty to an absolutely bullshit charge.
If it is a loss for Trump, good. He deserves it. Trump could have pardoned this hero day one, but he lacked the knowledge or courage to do it. The last eight years of this guy being tortured are on Trump.
I’m just glad he’s free. Julian Assange is the greatest journalist of the 21st century. He deserves metals and praise for his work and instead he sacrificed much of his life to bring us the truth.

The IDF killed an American child. @JoeBiden

Want to see the longest pregnant pause in human history?
RFK knows the answer is "yes"
He knows he can't say that
He knows, politically, he must say "no"
He knows Dave will destroy that
So he settles on "I don't know"
Essentially pleading ignorance.
He knows.
