"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

After Jan 6, JPMorgan Chase saw a scandal-plagued politician with a history of bankruptcies and business failures taking dangerous steps to overturn an election. It effectively said, “Let's not do business with this guy anymore.”

Five years later, Trump decided this entitles him to $5 billion.
The absurd claim at the heart of Trump’s suit against JPMorgan Chase
“You're not allowed to do what they did,” the president said of the banking giant, making a claim that's difficult to take seriously.
