The US president is more willing to listen to Israel than his predecessors were and is also deeply suspicious of the CIA

When Donald Trump ordered the US military to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend, the debate among intelligence officials, outside experts and policymakers over the status of Tehran’s nuclear program had largely been frozen in place for nearly 20 years.

That prolonged debate has repeatedly placed the relatively dovish US intelligence community at odds with Israel and neoconservative Iran hawks ever since the height of the global war on terror.

Trump underscored his skepticism of the experts when he recently told reporters that “I don’t care” about the US intelligence community’s latest assessment that Iran still wasn’t building a bomb.

    Anyone who thought he would, should contact Adult Protective Services and ask about how to aquire a caregiver. Because they don’t have the mental capabilities to function in society on their own.

    I mean, the last went around Congress violating the Leahy Law to supply arms for Israel genocide…

    When we let a “moderate” dem do something they shouldn’t, the next Republican is gonna do it to. And then it’s normalized and voters aren’t allowed to disagree.

    The good news is it makes progressives more attractive to voters. If you don’t think America should fund other countries so they can commit genocide, your only option anymore is a progressive. And most voters don’t want to fund Israel for one reason or another

        When everyone is going to suffer and you can’t stop it, you’re not left with much but schadenfreude for those who inflicted it on everyone.
