To be fair, the Iranian theocracy kinda deserves this.

Not that that is the reason the US and Israel is doing it.

Your government is oppressing you. We will bomb your schools. You’re welcome.

I mean... It's been working for them for like... 80 years? Why stop now?

The Islamic Republic is dogshit, but unfortunately, it is the Iranian people who will be the primary victims here.

The fact that the US Military has conducted this illegal war without congress approval means their Oath to the us constitution has been breached. Now that they no longer feel obliged to honour their oath means the other rules, like not being used against the us population also no longer apply. Tremble.

A Chinese attack on Taiwan is no less illegal than what americans are doing right now.

That should be the case, but Congress has very clearly granted the Executive the right to start military action at nearly any scale. He is only required to NOTIFY Congress within 30 days. After that it's up to them to find or not.

We just killed the dude, that killed another dude we put in power, after we killing a fourth dude. Fucking circus of circles.

That takes a back seat to two other driving forces.

  1. Feeling emasculated by the beginnings of the fruition of women’s lib, this legal equality thing chafing so hard they want a rollback to mommy mode.

  2. Manipulated displacement of blame for the oppression of billionaires. Distraction from the 40 year class war.

But he'll tell you all about the space aliens if you don't ask about the chronic pedophilia.

I've been seeing these posts all over that the draft is coming back, and that we're now at war.

I don't see the story that everyone else seems to know about.

Who are we at war with, and when did this happen?

If you’re in the US, Iran. Last night.

Apparently the Iranian government is spineless because the US dropped three bombs on them in June 2025 and they did nothing 😂 That was all the response needed to go in for the kill.

The Trump administration has executed a strike on Iran, supposedly killing Iran's head of state, and Trump has announced 'major military action' in which US soldiers 'will die'.

The full extent of it is yet to be realized, but talk is that a lot of US troops are going to be put in harm's way.

Oh, and Trump has requested a 1.5 trillion dollar defense budget for the coming fiscal year.That's a 50% increase over what it currently is.

Holy shit. This is like when I left my house at roughly 3pm one day, took a 2 hour hour train ride to my friends house, and when I walked in my friend says "So.....what do you think?" And I said "About what?" And she says "Micheal".

We both knew a guy named Mike, but we never called him Micheal.

So I was just confused. I said "Uhhhh, I don't know what you're asking. Mike didn't come with me...."

And that's when she said "Ohhhh.....you don't know. Micheal Jackson died."

And EVERY single friend I called already heard. They were like "Yeah.....that was an hour ago. Where have YOU been??"

"Uhhhh......the train."

I still wonder about Obama having a joint at night and guessing how he could fuck up even harder those minds with Michelle.

The absolute cinema in that situation is Obama probably has never spent so much time thinking about Don and the other. He didn't care.

But now 😂. I hope now he has his deserved showtime.
