One of my controversial opinions, everything is not up for debate. Allowing people to think they’re equal to professionals, letting their point of view “be heard” is what got us here. Some people aren’t smart. No, 1+1 does not equal 5 and I’m not debating that dumbass.

a lot of stuff made sense to me once i realized that lots of people define “freedom” as including “the right to endanger others with impunity”

[Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie]

The United States has just committed an act of war against a country that posed no imminent threat to our people. There was no self-defense or tactical strategy taken into account. Just the reckless action of a man who has never understood or respected the responsibilities of American leadership.

This war was provoked by Benjamin Netanyahu for his own political survival, and Donald Trump has willingly handed him American military power to prolong it. The United States is not anyone’s proxy army, and our troops are not bargaining chips.

Trump had no legal authority to unilaterally launch these attacks. Congress has not authorized military force against Iran. In bypassing both the Constitution and our intelligence community - which made clear that Iran is not currently pursuing a nuclear weapon - he has once again demonstrated that he is a danger to our democracy and to global peace.

The American people do not want yet another unnecessary preemptive war in the Middle East. Now, instead of preventing war, we are embroiled in one - not for our security, but for the ego of two men who think they are above accountability. 

I grieve for every family that will pay the price for this war. I am calling on Congress to immediately reassert its constitutional authority and pass the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution to halt further unauthorized military action and to stand up to this irrational and reckless behavior before more lives are lost.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

If you’re cheering on federal overreach because it’s targeting “them” and not you, here’s your reminder:
You’re not immune.
You’re not special.
You’re next.

[Kristi Yamaguccimane @TheWapplehouse]

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.” - Mon Mothma

Let’s not get things twisted.

The people in LA are protesting because people are being snatched by masked individuals, held in unknown conditions, and being denied due process.

People protesting on January 6th were trying to overthrow our government.

[Dash Dobrofsky @DashDobrofsky]

Just a reminder that the party screaming about “restoring the rule of law” is the same party that:

– Elected a convicted felon after he incited an insurrection against his own country

– Watched their supporters attack federal officers during the insurrection he incited

– Cheered when he pardoned hundreds of other felons who assaulted police

But yes, tell me more about how the ICE raids in LA are about “law and order.”

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

MAGA are dumb fucking twats who would have taken a knee to Hitler if it were the 1930s. They never cared about freedom or the constitution or the troops. It was always a ruse by dimwitted morons who are trapped in a fantasy land. Fuck all of them at this point.

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

Never forget that we could have had comprehensive immigration reform in the Lankford bill, but The Dictator quashed it because he wanted to run on the issue.

Then many of you suckers voted for him because you believed he was going to only deport violent criminals.

Admit it.

Secularism isn’t what’s driving people away from Christianity.

What’s driving people away from Christianity are those who claim to follow Jesus, but completely ignore his teachings and use his name instead to amass wealth and political power.

Do not care one bit about Joe Biden not recognizing George Clooney, what I care about is how the current president doesn't recognize the Constitution!

BREAKING🇺🇸: Trump admin weighing suspension of habeas corpus, a move used only four times in U.S. history, most notably during the Civil War.

Let me translate that for you: this is a legal warm-up for martial law.

No trial. No charges. Just indefinite detention, if they decide you’re a threat.

This is about locking in a full authoritarian takeover. Trump wants the legal tools to arrest dissent, crush protests, and silence opposition, without a single court hearing.

If we don’t oppose it now, we will be silenced forever.
