Isn't this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.

Isn’t this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.

i searched for the username; the tweet is from ~42 hours prior to this lemmy post.

@ickplant Putting soldiers in harms way to distract from the epstein files should get the fat fuck the death sentence.

Pedos or not there is no way the USA would stay out of waging new wars either way, it's literally its bread and butter and can't exist without it. The machine is getting itchy, it needs blood, that simple.

Nixon and Reagan both conspired with hostile foreign governments to win elections and we let both of those guys off the hook. Why would this be different?

[–] j_elgato@leminal.space 1 points 27 minutes ago (1 children)

Different?

Yeah. The ruling class, and the oligarchs who own them, have made it abundantly clear they will burn the whole system down rather than allow one of their own to be held accountable.

If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?

Because we've had enough? Because we've learned our lesson?

Or maybe we haven't?

[–] btsax@reddthat.com 1 points 23 minutes ago

I don't see a whole lot of lesson-learning going on. Except by those who have been taught that when they break laws there isn't punishment

I've been saying that cutting USAID and the nearly million deaths that followed in the subsequent months as a direct result of cutting a program that as much as a couple of his planned ballrooms, should get him hanged slowly at the hague.

Out of everything he's done, this along with rolling back environmental protections will have caused the most harm and suffering to humanity and these are the things getting the least attention.

Imagine having the power to ruin the lives of countless millions of living souls and doing it for no other reason than to prove how "not woke" you are and to add another several cents per share to your donor's investments.

💯

But instead it will probably get him more adoration from his base.

Who am I kidding? It’s not probably, it’s definitely.

The NY Times says Iran may be offering up a few leaders to be the next Delcy.

My dad who served in Vietnam looked at this tweet and went silent. My mom is now really upset. I am so tired.

Has there been at least a piss weak justification for this new war? Or is he still crapping on about Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next five minutes? At least the last Iraq war had a good foundation of lies leading up to it.

[–] Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 12 points 2 hours ago

Fighting Israel's wars is the justification

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The lies for Iraq were no better. Everyone knew that it was Bush jr wanting to finish Daddy's war. He had been making noises about it since day one January 20 2001.

It was an easier sell because of 9/11.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago

It was an easier sell because of 9/11.

Not that that made any fucking sense either, mind you.

"We must go after the Afghani terrorists by (checks notes) attacking Iraq!"
