Is it time to finally call him out?

Last edited Sun Jun 22, 2025, 08:10 PM - Edit history (1)

Getting involved in a war we were not asked to join? Pissing off our allies? Dumping bombs without the approval of Congress? We just bombed an extremely rich country with lots of money. Russia has already offered nukes to Iran. Iran has now vowed retaliation. Gee, it don't take a brain surgeon to see what's coming next.


I think we have enough evidence against this narcissistic, sociopath, felon, game show host and dictator to finally make him accountable for his actions. Not only is he destroying America, he's trying to destroy Iran.

Impeachment? Removal from office?

What are we, as a country, going to do to stop him before he gets us all killed?

The only people who can stop this are the elected Republicans and they’re not going to do a fucking thing.

Peacefully protesting does nothing. It just doesn’t. And what really needs to be done is too horrifying and inconvenient. We’re not going to get to that point until tens of millions of people have nothing left to lose. As it is, far too many people are perfectly happy to let these bastards do whatever they want. We don’t have the numbers. We don’t have anywhere near enough people willing to take direct action.

You don’t get rid of fascists through peaceful means. That’s the just the sad fact. Americans have had it too easy for too long, they’ve forgotten the blood it took to claw even the most basic of services and rights from the owners.

You’re not going to find many people willing to do that kind of dirty work, that kind of sacrificing to preserve what meager freedoms we have.

We’re in a bad, bad spot right now.

"Japan
"Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba told reporters Sunday that it was crucial to calm the situation as soon as possible, adding that the Iranian nuclear weapons development also must be prevented.

"Ishiba, asked if he supports the U.S. attacks on Iran, declined to comment."

The Republicans? Nah. Nothing he's doing is a problem for them. Bombing Iran? Remember John McCain?
