For a bunch of dimwitted white nationalist manosphere dipshits who voted for this warmongering tyrant because and I quote "He says it like it is" they're dancing around the word "war" and throwing out idiotic euphemisms to avoid saying "war" and the only other word I've ever seen them so utterly afraid of and unable to say is "period."
The policy of the State is exalted to a creed, the leader becomes a demigod beyond good and evil, and his votaries are honored as heroes, apostles, martyrs, missionaries. There is only one truth and beside it no other.

When they started with "alternate facts" it was a tacit admission that they knew they would lose if they adhered to 'standards and norms' or 'the rules'. So they changed the game, the rest of the US (and the world) should have forced the issue at that point, but the system failed. When Obama was elected, the racists opted out of the system, the rest of the party (hard to tell what the percentage was) followed along.
We agree on this... but as you well know... getting his supporters to consider anything as a mistake, or God forbid illegal/wrong, isn't going to happen. Discussions using norms, logic, reason... need not apply. What's worse...is they know it. There has been a noticeable lack of support here from the MAGA faithful.
He's being told "it's about time...", and "you're the only one brave enough to do it" from his advisors and Trump state media.
If he hadn't been so outwardly "Mr. Peace", maybe it makes sense the folks would give him a pass... but the complete 180 from people who warned of Kamala as the greatest risk to WWIII is a bit surprising, even for them.
Republicans have repeatedly proven they stand for nothing.
Racist, stupid, and/or selfish... I've been posting it here for 10 years now, and it's more accurate than ever. That is the MAGA movement.

US President Donald Trump signalled that the US navy was ready to offer security escorts for tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday evening â less than 24 hours after Navy officials told shipping industry representatives that there was âno chanceâ of escorts happening any time soon.
In a social media post, Trump announced that he had ordered the US Development Finance Corporation to provide, âat a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Tradeâ.
He added that âif necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible."
Following multiple requests from industry bodies, representatives of the US Navy had briefed senior industry figures on Monday evening to confirm that there would be no availability of naval escorts and no timeline for when such arrangements will be available, if at all. (...)
@Red_Dragon: shockingly, no one's mentioned impeachment yet. Starting a war without Congressional approval is an impeachable offense, I'd think.
Would love to see how Trump's poll numbers change with this war. I think most Americans right now are shocked and puzzled.
When was the last time the US declared war? I think it hasn't happened since WWII. Is there some other process for congress to approve an undeclared war?
I expect that according to kurtster's Venezuela logic, this isn't really an act of war, either
As a side topic, Putin had been cultivating an alliance with Iran. The trumpstein monster he created doesn't seem to have a need for him anymore. Putin would be rolling over in his grave if he was in one
I can't tell if they are really this dumb, if they really don't care, or if this is some sort of attempted psyop to wear people out, or something else. It's odd to watch regardless.
Stupid, yes, but wearing people out is a secondary goal so it leads to them not caring.

I'm going for this combination; the former rules out your other option.
Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
In other words: Just pretend that you didn't hear or quote what I said yesterday.
Monday, March 2: âWe knew there was going to be Israeli action,â Rubio said on Monday. âWe knew that would precipitate an attack against American forces and we knew that if we didnât pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.â
Tuesday, March 5: "He (Trump) made a decision to go first because he concluded we were not gonna get hit first. We were not going to absorb a blow from them. We were gonna go first. He was not going to run the risk that they could attack us before we could," Rubio explained.
