Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran

The scenes in Lebanon are harrowing. These areas in Beirut are densely populated and were given no prior warnings. These Israeli attacks may put pressure on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire coming into force.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

I'm wondering if we're the only country in the world to be stupid enough to allow a convicted felon to be president.

A bit sobering to hear Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, say he holds "no enmity" towards other nations or the American people in his letter today. Especially when you compare what Trump is doing and Trump’s comments in the past — Trump has done the opposite.

This interview still haunts me.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive.

And now it’s confirmed: Trump is totally fabricating these talks and that means he has just surrendered in a war of his own making.

Per BBC News : Iran officials says there are no talks. Instead per NBC News: Iran said "Trump's move was designed to lower energy prices and "buy time" for his military plans." In other words Trump did this so his oligarchs make $ on stock market jump this AM!

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation.

I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment.

This summary is just fantastic.
