break out the butterfly net now.
Congress should invoke the 25th amendment right fucking now!
Can they not see that this person is insane?
With Hegseth in charge of the military things look even more dire.

We should, honestly, impeach him right now.

I thought it was about the oil. Or fReeDomS or something

If the CIA hadn't overthrown Mossedagh in 1953, none of this would have happened

Why will no one stop him? He's clearly insane, people from both parties have said so, yet nothing happens. The time for pragmatism is over. He needs to be dragged out of the gold-tinged cave that used to be the Oval Office and checked into a hospital for the criminally insane. We no longer have the luxury of time.

interesting to me in that if you ever doubted your objectivity about them, look back in time, and you'll see how we got here.


A few of the docs are memorable, some exceptional. Especially the Bush vs Gore. In Florida, the corruption and then, of course, their best enablers, SCOTUS.

I don't imagine Trump can do anything that would deliver their party to impeach him, never mind the 25th Amendment.

I hope I am wrong about that, as we are set to see more death and destruction for no good reason at all.

23. Iran promises regional war in response to Trump threat: 'Restraint has come to an end'

Iran still has a large percentage of its drones and missiles and can inflict a great deal of damage on our Gulf allies.

Iran promises regional war in response to Trump threat: 'Restraint has come to an end' #RawStory

Iran responded to President Donald Trump’s looming threat Tuesday with a threat of their own: to lift all “self-restraint” by launching a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and deprive the United States “of the region’s oil and gas for years.”

“Our self-restraint has come to an end,” reads a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran’s military apparatus, as reported by the Kurdish news outlet Kurdistan 24.

“America’s partners in the region must know that until today, we have restrained ourselves for the sake of good neighborliness… however, we are now lifting the immunity provided by our previous tolerance. Our focus will be solely on the targets and on seeking revenge.”

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran lift restrictions for U.S.-aligned vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade flows. Amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks, Iran has refused, and in mid-March, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to re-open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power plants.

Iran has published a list of targets to hit if trump carries out his threat
