It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Great question!
Have to go with Judge Judy Sheindlin on this one:
"If it doesn't make sense, it's usually not true."

NEW: A Mexican landscaper beaten while being violently detained by immigration agents has THREE sons who are US Marines.
My latest on Katie Phang News on how Trump and the GOP don’t care about patriotism & how US citizens are being jailed for trying to protect immigrants.

Unbelievable turnout for No Kings rally in deep red Forked River, NJ. I talked to an organizer and he said they expected 20 people. The rally was supposed to start at 3:00 and as of 2:45 there must have been at least 300 and more were pouring in. Amazing and all peaceful. #NoKings

If Walmart, with their buying power, is saying they have to raise prices, that means that EVERYONE will be raising prices.

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...
