    This is the road that “pre-emptive strikes” lead to, and we should have learned that lesson after 9/11.

    This admin is just so incompetent it’s undeniable that’s it’s bullshit.

    Saying an attack is gonna happen so you have to attack isn’t a valid reason whether it’s an individual or a country. And if you allow it, eventually someone will say that they can’t show us the proof, then they’ll stop pretending they had proof.

    Midterms are the kind of the last peaceful offramp, and it might be closed.

      I’ll be accused of being MAGA/a troll/Russian/whatever, but it is. Trump isn’t going to let go of his last chance to become the fascist dictator of his dreams. Either the midterms won’t matter or they won’t happen, and US opposition doesn’t have the juice to do anything about either possibility.

        Yeah most folks till seem to firmly grasp onto the idea that trump will happily and casually resign from his comfy seat…

        He won’t.

        (Let’s just ignore that if he does he’ll have a high chance of getting locked up, and he know it)
