What they’re doing won’t matter. AI & robots will actually deliver the free goods & services that those thieves pretend to offer, while actually stealing from others. Mamdani is a thief and a liar, plain and simple.

It is profoundly important to point this out yet again: this is a war that President Trump chose, that never should have been waged, that cannot be one militarily. And now the costs are really starting to pile up, and they are not short term. President Trump appears poised to send ground troops in on a suicidal mission, which will only skyrocket the price of oil even further, deep in our involvement in the war, and do nothing to take control of the Strait from Iran. President Trump‘s response to this deepening crisis of his own making? Double down, and harm the American people even more. Now he wants to have a $500 billion one year increase in the defense budget, on top of the $200 billion supplemental that is winding its way through Congress now, while cutting help for regular Americans and refusing to pay for other things he promised, like infrastructure and healthcare. This is the evil opposite of America first. It is war first, and it is America not even in the count. How much longer are we going to remain passive to this creeping authoritarianism, and all the people in the administration who swore an oath to the US Constitution, instead give loyalty to the man, Donald J Trump at all of our expense?
Trump looks to propose a $1.5T defense budget. He seeks to cut domestic spending for a larger military presence to ‘defend’ Israel. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Operation Rolling Thunder. From 1965 to 1968, the United States conducted a sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam. The goal was to break the will of the North Vietnamese government and people. To make the cost of continuing the war too high to bear. They dropped 864,000 tons of bombs. The will was not broken. So they escalated. Operation Linebacker. Operation Linebacker II, the Christmas Bombings of 1972: twelve days of around-the-clock bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, described by some U.S. generals as trying to "bomb them back to the Stone Age." Hospitals were hit. Residential areas were hit. Bạch Mai Hospital, the largest hospital in North Vietnam, was hit repeatedly. After the Christmas Bombings, the North Vietnamese negotiating position at the Paris Peace talks did not weaken. It strengthened. They bombed us into refusing to surrender. Every bomb that fell on a hospital, every family killed in their home, every village erased from the map created ten more people who would die before they accepted foreign domination. This is what American strategists, with all their degrees and all their think tanks and all their war games, failed to understand about the people they were trying to break. You cannot bomb dignity out of people who have decided they would rather die than give it up.

🚨#BREAKING: Watch Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say that we don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel while being removed by the Capitol police 📌#Washington | #DC Watch As Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing to voice opposition to a potential war with Iran, saying many Americans do not want the United States drawn into another conflict. Moments later, U.S. Capitol Police moved in and forcibly removed him from the chamber as the disruption unfolded. During the removal, McGuinness claims his arm was broken. Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana was also seen assisting as officers escorted the anti-war protester out of the hearing. McGuinness, an activist and Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, has been outspoken against the possibility of a broader conflict in the Middle East. The incident is now gaining significant attention online as veterans and anti-war activists react to the confrontation at the Capitol.

Every major presidential campaign is based on lies and knowingly false promises, but Trump made opposition to regime-change wars a central part of his political identity for a decade. His voters believed it. He's proven himself one of the most deceitful frauds in US history.👇
Trump on the campaign trail: "We are finally putting America First. Our policy of war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the pursuit of American interests… It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policemen of the world."

35th Anniversary of Desert Storm end just happens to become the beginning of“Iran War?” Epic Fury, or Epic Failure? America has conducted air or ground combat operations in seven countries in the Middle East. From Lebanon to Yemen to Iran, a triangle of travesty. Cui bono?
