“Secretary of War” Hegseth is one of the most dangerous psychotics unleashed by Trump on America and the world.

He is an untreated alcoholic. He is far more than completely incompetent and unfit.

The Republican Senate confirmed him because they work for Trump, not America.

In line with Trumpian theology, Hegseth thinks that he can disgorge a complete rewrite of reality and history and it will be eagerly embraced by a docile American public.

But No, Iran did not start this war.

No, Iran has not been waging war with United States for 47 years. The coup America launched in Iran in 1953 made the 1979 triumph of fundamentalism predictable.

No, Iran was not refusing to negotiate over its nuclear program. In fact, Iran was ready to accept a deal.

Yes, Pete Hegseth is a war criminal who wants to dispense with “stupid” rules of engagement, thus endangering our troops and making more atrocities inevitable.

And yes, once again the Murdochs and Fox platformed, promoted, and wildly overpaid a mediocrity and psychological aberration.

Trump, Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, another one of those enablers Americans were brainwashed into believing could be a guardrail for an insane administration, are each of them war criminals.

This time, there must be accountability.

call this campaign and its already atrocious civilian casualties “a striking success.”

They want more death, more bombing, more ruinous financial investment and more regional mayhem. They don’ t care that it’s working-class Americans who will be dying on the elites behalf. Cannon fodder not worthy of consideration.

The fact that Iran retaliated against Tump’s unprovoked attack is something they cite as proof that the attack was justified. Orwellian circular logic from the Board.

[I don’t subscribe to the Wall Street Journal; I’m quoting from Raw Story’s report. Will go to the library tomorrow and read it in its entirety. What Raw Story reported was so appalling I had to post.]

while blowing off the input of the United States’ intelligence services.

The Washington Post describes how Trump did the bidding of both Israel and Saudi Arabia by launching this calamitous attack.

It doesn’t pay to have a compromised, criminal, easily persuaded moron in the Oval Office, does it?

tells our troops that dying to satisfy Sen. Graham’s fetish for violence and vicarious combat will be a “noble” death. He sounds like the Ayatollah himself.

We have been stuck with depraved leeches like Graham for too long. As David Hogg says, we must have better leaders! Many young people are waking up to the fact that their futures depend on it.

Trump reacts to American casualties in his war on Iran by telling us about brokering “a great deal”? Yes, he does.

long enough–at the very least–to declare that since we’re at war, the midterms have to be cancelled.

At Raw Story, David Edwards describes the encounter with reporters.

By allying ourselves cheek to jowl with war criminal Netanyahu, the United States has once again plunged into an abyss of bloodthirsty immorality.

that the Trump crime syndicate’s defense of Iran’s enemy Saudi Arabia paying Jared Kushner 2 billion in 2021 was that he would never again work for our government.

Presto-chango! Kushner was the one leading nuclear negotiations with Iran last week–just in time for us to attack Iran as junior partner to Netanyahu.

During his first term, Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. Then Biden, subservient as always to Netanyahu, refused to reinstate it. Then Trump after his return to office illegally invaded Venezuela and illegally bombed Iran. Democrats mewled. Trump has been hinting at a war on Iran for months, and all the Dems could so was make procedural objections. Now Trump has started an illegal war against Iran. Many Dems are again raising only procedural objections.

But AOC isn’t bobbing and weaving:

“The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long- term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. “
