The maximalist aims of the joint attack cast doubt on whether there had ever been any prospect of success for the US-Iranian negotiations in the preceding weeks, in which delegates discussed possible limits on uranium enrichment. Those talks, the latest round on Thursday, had been conducted under the shadow of what Trump called his “beautiful armada” gathering in the Middle East, the biggest US force in the region since the ill-fated 2003 Iraq invasion, and it now seems likely that only a complete capitulation on Iran’s part could stop this assembled American might being unleashed.

    Congress doesn’t care. There’s absolutely zero rule of law when it comes to Trump.

    All these dipshit brushing off his threats to the midterms need to wake up real fucking fast. Trump never lies about his depravity when he’s admitting to it.

    Millions will die because stupid fucking Americans are too arrogant to take anything Trump threatens seriously, and are too fucking stupid to be able to understand how life is always worse under fascism than neo-liberalism.

      the us government, by not caring, aren’t doing anything to stop him, thus they are doing nothing to stop the rise of fascism.  what does this really say about congress?

              A lot of us don’t.

              We just don’t own any news organizations, we aren’t billionaires, so you rarely hear about it.

              Sure, we could argue with the R and D dreamers every minute of every hour of every day, but there’s not much point to it.

              I vote, I just realize it’s for entertainment purposes only and it won’t actually accomplish anything of note.

                Yeah I’ve been saying we’re not likely to have real midterms since Trump won. My family members brushed me off at the time, but the last few weeks they seem to have come around. It’s possible they’re just humoring me after all this time but i really believe more and more people are becoming fully ready to support a movement that actually fights for people. The only issue now is organizing that movement and convincing everyone to stick with it. How hard could THAT be? :)
