    Not going to feel even a little bad for those who participated in an illegal attack that killed over 100 children in a strike on a school alone. I sincerely hope the five seriously wounded (if they were a part of this attack and not just collateral) make it and have to suffer physically and psychologically for the rest of their lives, and in an even more ideal world, the VA wouldn’t give them shit for their troubles.

    Edit: “Trump says ‘we expect casualties’ after Iran strikes but ‘in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world’” Fucking gross.

      Online discourse right now: You are either with Khamenei or you are with Trump, and Khamenei was a bad guy surely you aren’t with him, what are you, a terrorist?

        Donald Trump has the power to stop Trump, and you don’t see me kissing his ass when he shows no signs of using it.

        No they aren’t. The people are. Only ever have been and still are.

        Three or four weeks of even 60% of the population shutting it down and grinding it to a halt, he and his admin will be impeached.

        They had it with the vote too, that’s the easier one.

          There are little to nothing recent precedents of this scenario. Most autocrats fall after their own military turns against them

            It’s with the people here.

            As you said, there’s no precedent and that includes the makeup of the nation. If the people decide to shut down the businesses and military are more likely to drop behind in support and help facilitate the 25th Amendment is it?

            The key with the US is the people, as they always were. For that matter they probably were elsewhere too.

            They just need some unity and be willing to take some hardship.
