Americans: Call your U.S. House Representatives and demand they Invoke Article II, Section 4. It is the only rational solution. Our Executive Branch is compromised.

Why is he not arrested already ?

He has the emotional capacity of a three year old. Should he be driving the bus? (Rhetorical question)

Ironic that the man who wanted to slow or stop alternate energy sources has created the proof of one reason why we are better off with the alternates. Iran can’t control the sunlight for instance. There is clearly no rational argument that we are safer or stronger with this overgrown toddler in charge. Keep speaking the truth, Mr Rather.

I know a three year old who is far more loving, compassionate and empathetic than this emotionally lacking sad and pathetic excuse for a president.

T.A.C.O. Tuesday! Or is it groundhog's day in TWO WEEKS? Taco Tuesday again on April 21st. This is insane or is Mr. Taco Tuesday the insane one?

You are spot on as always Dan. Tongues are wagging at the White House.

It's 6:43 pm here in Albuquerque, NM. That's 43 minutes after Trump said he was going to wipe out an entire civilization. A protest was scheduled to take place starting at 7 pm EDT in front of the WH. I'm not watching the news so I don't know if the protest is taking place, if Trump/Hegseth have ordered the destruction of Iran. If they have, I don't know if the military is refusing to comply with unconstitutional orders that are also war crimes and crimes against humanity. Several members of Congress have called for invoking the 2th Amendment, including my Representative Melanie Stansbury. (God Bless Her). But I don't know if those responsible for doing that have done so. I don't know, since articles of impeachment are being submitted against Hegseth, if Trump has followed up on his statement, that gives him an out, that it was Pete who really wanted the war, and has fired Pete accusing him of this Fuck up and is leaving the Middle East.

I'm sure that I will have several posts on facebook and in my email from news sites reporting on what has happened. I can read those where I can't watch the news. If Trump has followed through on his threat, and if the military has chosen to be complicit, ending in disaster, I think it's possible that America may very well now suffer the same fate as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy did in WWII. It seems there are only two alternatives; either we remove Trump or someone else does.

⭐️Aaron Parnus just reported live- a retired general just went on MS Now & shared his unnamed sources said war crimes to target/kill Iranian civilians ordered by Hegseth were rejected! Which makes the “2 week ceasefire” moot/a lie!

did you buy a ranch with Donald Rumsfeld as described?

Nancy Tompkins's avatar

Isn’t this a TERRORISTIC THREAT? To kill everyone in Iran? If so, WHO do we get to issue a warrant for Trump’s arrest?

Not to worry. It's about stock market manipulation. First, it dives with his outlandish bullshit, then he Tacos and the stock market shoots up. Insider trading at it's best.

Need to build pipelines to the Red Sea. Can be paid for by having trump family assets confiscated.

As always, your words get the heart of every situation. I loathe the person in the White House now, and thank-you for continuing your work to engage us.

Any action he takes regarding this message or the one issued earlier today (T.04.07/2026) would constitute a war crime, would violate our Constitution, international law, and the bounds of basic human decency, say nothing of the obliteration of any standing these U. S. of A. might actually still have globally. No military personnel ought to carry out any order from any quarter that entails bringing to pass the massive destruction and massacre promised. This horseshit has gone on far, far too long. This madman must be removed. The damage he has done to our nation and the world at large will require generations to repair.

Dan, I’m feeling very sad and angry about the whole situation. This is not how a Commander in Chief behaves. What can we do, though I’m sure not much. How can we protect our mental health through all of this. I know that the United States has survived dire circumstances in previous decades but this time feels pretty dire and precarious. My heart feels heavy for our troops. Heck, my heart hurts for our country.

Exactly right. The Civil War was a great test for our country. Fortunately, we had Lincoln leading us. Now we have a lunatic at the helm.

Since we are at war with the leaders not the people of Iran, and our intentions to destroy their "weapons of mass destruction" and their willingness to use them makes common sense. Despite my opposition to Trump and his dangerous enablers, I believe it is a huge MISTAKE to root for Iran.

One of the most shocking elements to this mess, is Trump and his regime's very favourable treatment of Russia recently, a regime that despises America. No matter the reason, it is treasonous. Abandoning Ukraine in favor of Russia will never be forgotten. America has lost its allies trust. While China plays the long hand, and grins quietly, and meddles an awful lot.
