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.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files.
