Died defending the US.Died defending freedom.Died defending democracy.Died supporting an ally.Died providing humanitarian support abroad.Died to distract the world from the fact that Trump raped children on Epstein's island.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the party of "we support our troops!"

To think that all of this was unnecessary. I feel for the suffering of the people in Iran, for the dead school children, for this little girl whose father was "in that box," and for everyone else so deeply affected.
All this to protect a pedophile and to keep the Trump-Epstein files concealed.

Media should never report anything Trump said without a disclaimer that he is a relentless, prolific liar.

I often find myself in awe at the sheer number of Vietnam War and Iraq War vets who passionately support Trump, as he does almost everything possible to take away their benefits and get US soldiers killed by Iran, all while disrespecting them at every given opportunity.
Then I remember the US military has a long history of targeting the mentally ill and learning disabled for recruitment.

All of our soldiers are risking their lives not because they believe in the reasons politicians made up for starting the war, but because they are ordered to, and they cannot easily disobey orders.
I wonder if Trump would still think the war in Iran was a good idea if he was risking his own life the same way he is risking our soldiers' lives. Or if that were the case, would he choose a less dangerous way to distract us from the Epstein files?
I propose a constitutional amendment saying that the president could only unilaterally (without congress) begin a conflict like Trump did in Iran if he voluntarily gives up his own life. If it's really that important that he needs to risk out soldiers' lives, the president could prove it by giving up his own life.

Well, to be fair, some of them said that he has to push the Save America Act through.
