She looks 15 years older than when she started just 13 months ago.

Selling your soul to Mephistopheles for a gig with the Trump administration tends to have that effect.

But but we took them out last summer. So he was either lying then or he’s lying now.

This is so absurdly untrue. There’s not a damn person in DC who actually believes that. And yet, leadership Pubs will continue to enable this bullshit.

Israel would have attacked? Let'em, and let us stay out of this.

I don't understand this. Congress doesn't have to block Trump; Trump has to get affirmative approval.

But whatever. They did their thing. Now they can explain themselves to the voters.

I’m wondering how much work the word “has” is doing in your post.

Trump doesn’t have to do anything until someone forces him to. At this point, we are a nation of men, not laws.

Big deal for our European allies

"Republican lawmakers blocked a measure Wednesday that would have limited President Trump’s power to continue waging war against Iran without congressional authorization, even as the conflict expanded into a wider international crisis."

I have no idea, but I do know the Islamic Republic was a major source of instability and a threat via proxies to most of the other countries in the Middle East, to many countries in western Europe, and at least to our own assets in the area. This regime does have American blood on its hands.

I think this war is ridiculous. But I also appreciate the window of opportunity it gives the Iranian people.

I expect Iran ends up with a fundamentalist, hardline Islamic Republic when the bombing stops.
