Their hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.

💪

War is so MALE

I don't believe most people supported the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. It was such an un-American war of aggression. The kind of thing the bad guys do. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting the rush to invade.

Don't be surprised when something in the US explodes. It's a response to your attack on Iran.

I guess they just don't want to fund another places war, but they are just fine with being the ones who start one!

That's the part of this that I really don't understand. His base was all about no more wars + they loved the fact that he was claiming to be the peace dove president. Now he's doing this??

These phony Republican wars cost US taxpayers trillion$. But Republicans will pay anything for guns (and nothing for food for kids or education). And the wealthy, who don’t pay fair taxes, love the money they make off endless war. And endless death.

That's a known known, as ol' Rummy would say

I still have my grandma's 'no war in Iraq' lawn signs. Time to update them.

Only need to change one letter. Sigh.

looks like Star Trek might have called it this time George not The Simpsons, Star Trek universe, World War III is depicted as occurring from 2026 to 2053

Isn’t it amazing that a guy that avoided the military and disrespected those that have & continue to serve is so excited about sending our kids & grandkids to war?

This feels very different in a lot of ways though. There doesn't seem to be much effort to make the case. To sell the war to the American public. If anything, the impression is more that it's inevitable, not that it's popular.

I'm pretty sure no one thought that "America first" meant distancing the US from all of its historical allies, then allowing Israel to drag us into a war with no strategic end in sight.

I campaigned for Howard Dean because he was one of the only Democrats to have the guts to come out against W’s idiocy. But now? This is even more obvious, yet here we are again, ignoring the lessons of history… and in so many ways besides middle eastern wars. Republicans are notorious for this.

I never supported the Iraq war. I wish more people realized dubya was going to just repeat the lie until he got what he wanted. He really fucked up that whole region and it's still being felt today.

To be fair, America has been screwing up in the ME long before the Iraq war. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Niiiiice!

the weirdos who like war will join the military in hopes to kill someone. not the first time

MAGA MIA

We have always been at war with.... #trumpisatraitor #1984

This guy looks like a thumb.

🤣🤣he does!

😆😃😄

Even worse they still support Isreal killing innocent Palestinians.

Yeah. I remember being called un-American and a traitor when I marched along with millions to try to stop the invasion of Iraq. MAGA contains a significant percentage of the same people who were calling us that. They haven't changed and they haven't learned anything. They'll cheer this on.

Yes, after 9/11, the jingoistic patriotism became very oppressive. In the area where I lived, my car was one of the few that didn't have a yellow ribbon "Support Our Troops" magnet. That's when we decided to immigrate to Canada.

You are the smart one.

We were lucky that we lived near the border, and had been spending time in Eastern Ontario for our son's bagpipe lessons/band practice/competitions.

Im not sure who is in favor and who is against this war. Congress is hush so are the Palestinians (and they are always noisy) there isn't much left vs right on this war either. Is it possible the left and the right has found a common enemy or has the media not been instructed on what to say yet.

2025 Q1: NO NEW WARS! NO NEW WARS! NO NEW WARS! 2025 Q2: WAR IS UNAVOIDABLE! WAR IS UNAVOIDABLE! WAR IS UNAVOIDABLE!

The beaches that needs stormimg right now is not Normandy...it's Americas OWN beaches. Imagine if Normandy had never happend because people sat around talking and wringing their hands!!

In 2016 after 45 took office, he was threatening to bomb Iran. I attended a Peace Rally in SF with a friend whose family lives in Iran. I was acutely aware of an agent (FBI?) with a HUGE lens on his camera training it on me. I was for peace then, and I'm for peace now. Let people live.

They better start preparing those guns, they must got to war. Their dear leader will need them. Those who voted against him, will sit back and watch. We did not vote for this 💩

If Trump really gave a damn about Iran's nuclear program, he wouldn't have torn up the nuclear agreement that was in place 8 years ago. We could have bombed them anytime. Why now? He needs a DISTRACTION from his disastrous immigration & economic policies!

I can’t stand this hypocrisy. They have short memories .. I’m sick of all this ..

It is not the war, it is more about who is in charge. For Iraq war we had GWBush in charge and now Trump! Good luck!

Now its "protecting Murican interests"

Where the fuck is congress?

Send the sons of GOP Congressmen to war 🙄 Like that would happen!

bsky.app/profile/madd...

Too late.... Trump ok'd 3 bombs, and declared Peace.

Ruffalo a real one.

As one of those protestors against the Iraq War, I want to add we were right.

I took my husband on his first protest. Against the Iraq war. In Brisbane, Australia. Wars never work. #NoWars #StopIsrael #EyesonGaza

Further evidence Republicans are liars.

#SendBarron

Alex, give me "Promises Trump Never Meant To Keep".

🤔

Just in time for another 9/11.

So Trump has bombed #Iran. Well I guess he won't be getting the Noble Peace Prize anytime soon (unless he is somehow able to appoint himself as the head of that organization too). BTW, Republicans in Congress want to rename Dulles Airport and the DC Metro System after him. It never ends. 🙄

I supported the Iraq War. I hopefully learned from that mistake because a war with Iran will be an even bigger disaster.

As did I, right up until the lie was revealed. Then I was horrified at how easily I was sucked in by propaganda. I made it my personal mission to ensure it never happened to me again. 💜

Good for you. Unfortunately, we’re back in the same rabbit hole where a select few want war and chaos when diplomacy was working.

We sure are. And for the exact same reasons - an unpopular president and a flailing economy.

👍

Yeah, as someone who protested the War in Iraq, and was called all kinds of things for my views by people who now claim to have been against it, it is frustrating.

Iran’s the one making the Shahed drones that are killing Ukrainian civilians so I don’t feel bad for that evil Iranian regime, but if you want to know why Trump is okay with this war but not doing anything about Russia, it’s because he’s a coward who only picks easy fights. He’s chicken shit.

Don't worry he'll chicken out of this one too

🇺🇸 moved its aircraft carriers to the Middle East & diverted all of Ukraine’s military support to this already. 🇮🇱 already has air superiority so Ukraine needs it more. That’s what pisses me off about it. I’m happy that Iran’s shaheed production is getting wiped out, but Russia produces their own now.

If by some miracle we get through this, can we hand the people over that wanted to start a war as a peace offering? Because no normal person wanted this.

Trump was not anti-war. He was “anti-support for Ukraine.” He loves war.

He loves conflict. Ask anyone who worked in his first administration - it allows him to control smarter people.

So now we know - when Trump says "two weeks," he's circumventing Congress! He just sent Americans to bomb Iran without Congress’s approval!

So I did just hear Anderson say that he didn’t actually have congress approval…got it. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Alas, Babylon!

China will become involved if we do!

I was 100% behind the bombing of Iraq. I was the VP of my university's College Republicans. I had all the books of the Fox News anchors. Took me a long time to break away from that, but I'm finally registered Democrat and attended Kamala's rally in my city. #NoKings

These fools are as unserious as their dear leader. Constantly changing the rules to fit their narrative.

It’s also amazing how all the Second Amendment gun nuts always whine about having their guns to defend against a tyrannical government and yet here we are and where are they?

Beating up people going to their citizenship appointments

They want to be the tyrannical government. That’s always been clear from the start of maga.

I mean, we all knew that was a cheap rationalization for needing more and more emotional support weapons. We also knew most of them would be okay with tyranny as long as they weren't the targets. Eventually, tyranny always turns its gaze to those who supported it, and usually it's too late.

I can’t wait

We always believe in some magical quick “bombing” solution. We haven’t learned from Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Israelis, agree. No war with Iran. Netanyahu is the only one that wants a war with Iran...ok, with everyone l!

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS!! Hope Not, Donald J Trump might have gotten us into WWIII

Once our nation is engaged in one of these vanity wars, all domestic problems cease to be a priority unless rich people are negatively impacted.

I would get yapped at for being against the Iraq War. YOU DONT SUPPORT THE TROOPS! Yes, I did and do, by not wanting them to risk life and limb for a lie. I believed and trusted the inspectors who repeatedly said there were no WMDs. I knew the WH was lying. We still have no explanation.

Trump..no new wars .. maybe I'll drop a nuke hmmmm Pysch eval please... Only illegals will be deported...oh that's too hard. Takes work...

Everything Everywhere All At Once universes.

Many Americans were for it. Those of us who prefer peacen and not blood and oil....will always stand against it. My grandfather was in WW2. Ive seen and heard enough.

Can’t wait USA producing a second ISIS wave, and #DiaperDon s troops vanish as soon it gets complicated.

especially since the supposed justification for war with Iran, the situation with nuclear weapons, was created by Trump in the first place(walking out on the already negotiated plan because it was initiated by Obama).

Well, they wanted the guy they hated to go to war to say how awful a person he was, except he wouldn't, because he wasn't a psychotically deranged orange-faced old man who desperately wants to emulate his controller in the kremlin who will go to war while claiming to be "peaceful"...

the only lobby in this country more powerful than the NRA is AIPAC

Keep up the good fight George!

We trust this POTUS

This is devastating… So sick of the Wars & the great sadness that happens.. We are all human & we should be past these wars by now.. Another Republican War

I notice little shit stain hasn’t signed up.

(~);} civicshout.com/p/stop-the-s...

Despite my youthful bloodlust, it didn’t take too long to realize we didn’t know wtf we were doing. Truck drivers getting kidnapped? Unprotected supply lines? I knew we were cooked. But i was already in, but reserve. Afghanistan was morally correct. The execution was shit. 10 years on the run

Where is Rashida Talib and Jill Stein now??!?! Crickets.

Well, no. Tlaib is in congress and has specifically called this out

You haven’t looked them up so they must not exist!

Did I ever tell you about the time I met Ruffalo at a party & he swept me off my feet, taking me around the world to do the most good where it was most needed for several decades? Pretty sure that happened btw when I went to bed and when I got up last Tues/Wed.

Wait when the first bodybags with dead US soldiers comes back. Don't forget Trump calls those who gave their life as a US soldier or became POW losers. Trump never waste a single day to serve for his country. But many veterans vote for him instead of spit on him. These are traitors to their comrads.

Maybe when their children are dying in some far off desert they’ll see what they’ve done

I was in the street protesting Bush's war outside the UN in NYC. I was never a fan of that war and knew it was total bullshit.

I was doing my do over here in Australia, because our troops were heading over if it all went off. Which, it did, and they did - for 8 years. Bush lied through his teeth over that. It was so obvious and infuriating that the media was reporting lies. Just like now.

No War with anyone!!

It’s a cult.

Data from Stockholm says Russia has 4,309 nukes, China 600, and North Korea 50. Mutually assured destruction (MAD) rules appear successfully in place with these unfriendly countries. But politicians in Washington seem to have a blank spots in their 🧠s on this history. 😶

American soldiers will die in wars

But never the sons or daughters of any warmonger.

they die in the country, when the population loses all patience

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq enjoyed as high as 79% approval in May of that year. Good luck finding any of those people today. 79%! That is not a small number! web.archive.org/web/20241205...

It's like that scene from Spiderman 2, when J. Jonah Jamison is lamenting that he brought down Spiderman, until Spiderman steals back his costume right in front of him, and Jamison turns on a dime and starts condemning him again.

Mark is spot on. So many Americans are suffering amnesia of how badly they wanted a war post 9/11. It didn't matter who the target was - it was that classic dichotomy of good guy with a gun vs a bad guy with a gun. And when all you have is a gun - every other country starts looking like a target..

War is never the answer. 🥵 bsky.app/profile/rasu...

Has Barron enlisted yet?

George, this clip needs to be played nationwide.💯 Dem running a Cali. town hall. 18 minutes of beauty!👍 bsky.app/profile/davi...

We ALL know he is working 🤡hard to distract from Epstein Files!!

I'd make a Hulk is anti-war, but honestly good for Mark Ruffalo. We don't need extra bloodshed.

Mark Ruffalo has always been very progressive, as far as I can tell

The USA has committed an act of war against Iran. Period. Just like Russia committed an act of war against Ukraine. No one can blame Iran if they start bombing the USA or its citizens/property.

NO WAR with Iran!!!!!!

Flailing US economy? War is the answer. And who benefits? The terrifying number of people in Congress invested in the United States war machine.

Every single one of them should have their children and/or grandchildren enlisted, let them put some fucking skin in the game for once. Not commissioned, mind you. *ENLISTED*. E-1.

Couldn't agree more. If you're okay with endangering the lives of others, you better be okay endangering the lives of your own. They're not somehow special or more worthy than anyone else. Or maybe, they can understand the war machine benefits oligarchs and is detrimental to literally everyone.

Well, he just did it! STAY SAFE AMERICA SOLDIERS! 💔

You know what I haven’t seen here in Texas in several months? The pickup trucks with massive Trump flags flapping in the wind

Russia and Iran are allies. Trump is just pompously saber rattling. He will do what Putin says.

Killing people is never the answer. If Trump was the master negotiator he thinks he is, he would have never pulled out of the nuclear deal in the first fucking place. Then this would not be happening. Americans would not have to wonder if their next trip to the mall will result in a terror attack.

But Obama signed that deal!

Bombing Iran is insanity

I protested Bush's war and got tomatoes thrown on me. I don't understand people.

Global Peace Index Ironic en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_...

Stop the genocide in Gaza and free Andry Hernandez Romeo.

if only anything we ask was ever listened to by this administration. Too busy rattling their sabers.

The 2nd Amendment crowd has been rather quiet about our tyrannical government as well...

Because that wasn't really the reason they wanted weapons. It's just a convenient excuse to hide behind.

But…but…but, he’s the peace president. 🙄

Their hypocrisy is flexible enough to cover whatever he does, whether he promised not to do something five minutes earlier, or not.

Still waiting for the NRA to arrive in LA to protest against federal government overreach...

We were talked into the Iraq War by the lies of Dubya Bush, who assured us that Iraq was loaded with Weapons of Mass Destruction; we believed him long enough to reelect him, then the truth came out, and his popularity plunged, and so did our backing of the war.

I was totally against the Iraq war. I remember being shocked when Bush, Cheney, and Powell shifted from talking about the Taliban in Afghanistan to talking about Saddam in Iraq. I'd be interested in the evidence that most Americans were for that deadly boondoggle. It was a deadly non sequitur.

Any clue of what "Code Pink" is telling now? Actually I do not care, they are paid by the bad guys, so probably either telling they are doing good, either moved on a completely irrelevant topic, either struggling finding what to do now.

I was against the war on Iraq until Saddam startet shooting missiles at Israel, unprovoked. That changed my mind. Iran does so from beginning, so …

Don't do it Orange Humpalump!

Behind mentions of Persia & DJT the “chosen one” memes are the biggest fans of war with Iran: A faction of evangelicals who believe DJT & Bibi ‘were placed’ in their positions to bring about the Rapture. US & Israeli news has reported it for yrs. Huckabee ambassador to Israel is a believer.

J/S Fred should've wrapped his willie...

I knew I was probably going to die due to an unnecessary war in the Middle East since I was 5 and I’ve honestly given up. Nobody has a say whether or not we go to war except for the military tech industries and their army of lobbyists. All Americans are expendable and always have been.

Can we just have the two leaders play chess or something? Best 2 out of 3? Pickle Ball?

i think you’re right but how possible are you sure they can be good

I don’t trust our leaders to know the rules of chess. But it would be great fun to broadcast a bunch of elderly obese dudes playing pickle ball 😂

I can smell that yellow cake again...

#WarVsIran4VladPutin2025🏌️‍♂️🇷🇺

Until recently, the protests against the war in Iraq were the largest on record.

Well so many people died on the war

War should be the last option and should not be started by the US.
