“The problem we face is we haven’t destroyed knowledge, we haven’t destroyed materials, and we haven’t destroyed equipment. This hasn’t set Iran back nearly as far as some have suggested.” - James Acton, ABC News

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

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.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ON TRUMP'S ORDERS, THE U.S. ARMED FORCES ARE DETAINING AMERICAN CITIZENS OUTSIDE AN INVOCATION OF THE INSURRECTION ACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY
We are living in historically dark times. No American can any longer leave their home without being aware of this.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
