Plus this was never authorized by Congress and is in violation of the UN charter and other international treaties.

Trump is committing TREASON by not supporting the Constitution and collecting massive amounts of wealth for himself, his family and his billionaire friends including PUTIN. He is rigging the midterm elections to be able to either not have an election or declare it rigged and continue with his cronies. He may become surprises when he asks for régime change and the majority of our country takes to the streets rather than the Iranian's. It will be too easy for the Secret Service to make a few mistakes and someone takes out Trump. He doesn't have the brain power to realize just how many of us know he is just a small bully and liar. All those people who voted because he was going to lower costs, stay out of foreign wars and other promises will never come true. So unless they are bribed, they better vote for someone else than Trump. Have we earlier governed ourselves so poorly that these people have no pride, self worth or energy to know they must turn their conditions around . No one, especially Trump, will never give them cheap housing, cheap food, cheap fuel and a soft life.

Trump’s goal is to break the US for Russia and enrich himself along the way. His secondary goal is to end the US democracy so he can stay in power until he passes away so he doesn’t ever have to go to jail for his crimes. His third goal is to get as rich as possible along the way. His fourth goal is to punish and hurt people for his own pleasure. And mixed into each of the above his goal is to self-aggrandize.

So Dan what are the options:

1. Not do anything and allow a terrorist regime to build intercontinental missiles, weapons grade uranium in order to develop nuclear weapons and finance and provide military equipment to terrorists groups such as Hamas;

2. Not do anything and allow the regime to murder its people for demonstrating against the government; or

3. Not do anything when the official policy is death to the Great Satan , the United States and the Little Satan, Israel; or

4. Degrade the regime’s war capability and give the Iranian people a chance to take back their country back from a theocratic mafia.

Please advise

Trump needs the Nat Emergencies Act to be enacted to avoid The Hague (after US prosecution). He is taunting Iran. The operation is exclusively to ensure he can lockdown the election due to and attack. (He has systematically dismantled US Nat Sec - both foreign and domestic - to enable this. DOGE wasn't a cost-cutting measure it was an attack on our nat security infrastructure. He's seeking a violent response from Iran so he keeps pushing - (l'll decide who the new Supreme Leader will be for the Iranian people...). He's building a tinderbox. Surprisingly, Iran has spoken. They've done an end run around Trump: 'We are not at war with the American people. Beware the false-flag.' Iran and our allies know exactly who's responsible.... Beware the false flag.

The only thing Trump is good at, is rearranging reality. He has the gall - the audacity - to insist that truth is whatever - he needs it to be at any given moment.

You remain one of the best newsmen in the business.

'We would all like to be optimistic. Facts indicate that the outlook remains grim, at least for the moment. But they — the facts — do undercut President Trump’s propaganda offensive.'

Exactly.

Seems like we’re characters in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

This isn't really so much about trump anymore. It's about all those esp the GOP in Congress and in the GOP controlled states who are supporting his madness.

trump is humiliating his GOP Congress by showing how impotent they are and how subject to his threats they are. It's their choice to weather the storm and think it will pass soon enough and they will remain fairly unscathed.

Please - do not lump MOST of un in this dictator's game. There are thousands, millions of us, who are stuck with this reprehensible behavior of an imperialist dictator, and we wish we weren't.... we are writing, calling, protesting.. we are trying to live under a regime that America NEVER thought they would have...
