So with a majority of Repubs supporting the action, giving a big fat middle finger to a majority of former MAGAs and Indies NOT supporting it, it’s pretty clear we are lock and load for a voting shutdown at the midterms.
I hope the States are ready to react!
Soft secession (sitting on making federal payments until the feds start complying with federal judicial orders…)
Drills -lots of drills by States, on what to do when it comes time for them to conduct elections and attempts are made to shut them down (examples: ICE intimidating people at voting stations, declarations of a national emergency or martial law, etc.) They should be ready to deploy their Guards if Trumpers go over the top; they should even prepare for Trumpers to try and sabotage that, by enacting safeguarding State legislation…
Looks like he thinks there will be no consequences for getting people killed (like with the previous Iran bombing or the Venezuela boat strikes…)
The Shah’s son is a complete Mossad joke, and there is no one there to fill in for the IRG. He thinks he can get some people killed and then walk away from it, shrug his shoulders, and go: “Hey I ‘tried’…”
And once again Americans will be left to pay Israel’s bills (both today and in years to come…) caused by his being bribed. Schumer and Repubs who haven’t got the memo that the evangelicals are checking out on Israel first will be making sure the US continues to pay. Now one can appreciate my poor expectations for the Dems at the midterms!
So what’s your play here. Schumer and Jeffries? Don’t even TRY and stop him, and then blame him for the consequent years of chaos??
Perhaps Trumpers feel it’s just an opportune time to use a war to cover for a serious blame-AI [SLOP!] market correction.
As for Israel had dirt on him, and he buckled to that: he has no shame. He’s just running out the clock as long as he can on releasing the Ep-files, so he can maximize his bribe take and then dip out to a country with no extradition treaty and he has the likes of a Blackwater/XE do his security (I think Dubai’s off now…)
Why did he do the tariffs, when everybody told him it hurts long term trade relations, which hurts US consumers? Because: hurts to be you; “I get personal side dealS when the tariff rates get negotiated.” Many countries had no incentive to honor those tariffs in the longrun; they were just going to eventually cut the US out of their trade loop, Bessent’s feeble threats to not do that notwithstanding. There was going to be no reshoring -that train left the station, as it is even now for many other industries given their crappy incentives to stay.
