Sen. Kaine " Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize....?"

[underpants]

“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?

“For months, I have raised hell about the fact that the American people want lower prices, not more war—especially wars that aren’t authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution, and don’t have a clear objective. These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives. The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action.”

1. yes, he is indeed mentally incapacitated.

[Katinfl]

31. Kaine should not have phrased that sentence as a question. It is a FACT he is too mentally incapacitated.

[Cha]

37. Senator Kaine Did an Excellent Job

with his Statement regarding..

These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives.

..and Calling the Senate to Return to Session...

.. ".. The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action.”

[riversedge]

51. Sen Kaine is right---The Senators need to vote and be on Record for their vote!!

[MadameButterfly]

47. Finallly, at least someone has said it out loud

I'm tired of pundits discussing political and military strategy and odds to predict what Trump will do, when that has nothing to do with it.
He is not only mentally incapacitated, he has a personality disorder and a form of dementia that will compel him to be aggressive and irrational.
Analysis needs to focus on this at every turn. The world cannot stand 3 more years.

[Autumn]

2. Trump learns nothing. And Kaine damn well should know that

[ColoringFool]

5. Of Course He Knows. Some Statements Are Made For Public Ears---And MEMORIES.

[Autumn]

6. He should be talking about his Repiglican colleagues and their failure to do their job.

We don't need the memories. Fucking Trump won't shut up long enough to allow us to forget his stupid shit.

[MadameButterfly]

48. WE don't get where you want us to go unless

politicians say this out loud, and often. There hasn't been enough of this.

[Tim S]

3. He's already grifted billions, so he really doesn't care -- he has HIS fortune

[lastlib]

15. But he want s it ALL.....

He wants to be as rich as his Vladdy-Daddy.

[SergeStorms]

17. There's never enough for some people.

And tRump is one of those people

I've always tried to give more than I take. That leaves some for people who have greater need, but less ability. Trump and his ilk don't see it that way. Their ceaseless greed spurs them to want it all, and they'll never be satisfied with what they have. I actually pity them. They'll never know peace within themselves.

That doesn't stop me from wanting to kick their asses, though. 😁

[ShazzieB]

44. Yes, he has his fortune, and lives of others are of no consequence to him.

As a malignant narcissist with psychopathic tendencies, other people are just toys and props to Trump, and their misfortunes are of no more consequence to him than the capture of a pawn on a chessboard.

To Trump, every person in the military is nothing but a pawn, and their welfare or whether they suffer or die is something his warped brain is incapable of generating any concern about. Anyone who still thinks of him as remotely competent or worthy of thir trust is crazier than he is.

[MadameButterfly]

49. you are being too nice.

He doesn't just have tendencies. He is a psychopath.

[Lovie777]

4. And more people will die, maim, destruction of citizen's livelihood and a place to stay.................

these are the religious zealots on all sides.

[Goonch]

7. ;-{) Trump At War

[House of Roberts]

20. Funny.

He's parking the ships on dry land, LOL!

[Wednesdays]

28. Please don't post AI slop. nt

[BidenRocks]

33. Ever feel like Sisyphus?

I would pass a law that ALL AI content have an AI mark to identify it.

Even the Pope is upset that Priests are using AI to generate their Homilies and Sermons.
You expect an offering for that?

Being older is easy when the choice was "Is it Live, or is it Memorex"?

[MadameButterfly]

50. Help me

how do we recognize AI slop?

[Wednesdays]

52. The poster above is continually posting AI

And some of us are calling them out about it, because it's made from stolen intellectual property and uses a TON of fresh water and energy to produce even a single image. They apparently use the same AI source because the style is consistent.

As a producer of online art, and the parent of one as well, this affects us personally.

I direct you to these responses on a thread for the reasons for objecting:

It's not always obvious. Usually you can tell if something seems a little "off." Like extra fingers on a hand, or an extra arm with no owner. Unusually misspelled text, or even outright gibberish. Stuff like that.

[MadameButterfly]

53. I am an artist

I don't currently publish online, but to promote oneself your work inevitably is online and at risk. I worry that everything I'm working long hours to learn will be moot before my career takes off. There is nothing to do but keep going. As a society, we need real artists.

Who knew that the oligarchs would figure out a way to take the already disproportionately low share of the economy artists already get. They always forget that they need people with income to buy their products, and seem to be forgetting that without artists they will have nothing to steal.
So thanks for keeping me in the loop.

[LudwigPastorius]

41. Why is steam coming out of the general's neck?

[Seinan Sensei]

46. Underneath the map table

Are boxes and boxes of Epstein Files

[Diamond_Dog]

8. We had a diplomatic agreement with Iran.

But it was negotiated by Obama so of course the insanely jealous orange pig had rip it up.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein TickTock. You can't escape, Donald.

[King_Klonopin]

10. He trashed the peace agreement for personal, petty reasons . . .

It was OBAMA'S peace agreement. He has such a hard-on for destroying anything Obama accomplished that it is sinister as well as juvenile. We are in the spot we are now -- on every issue -- because we have a man-child in the Oval Office who is a phony strongman, a vindictive asshole, a dullard, and a self-centered egomaniac . . .
King Baby should be his title. And the people who still support him are so blinded by cult loyalty that it hinders any sane remedies.
He has never been fit to serve in any capacity in any office of the federal government.

[3catwoman3]

30. It's so discouraging, disheartening, disgusting, despair-inducing...

...that so many people fell for this shyster's bullshit.

[King_Klonopin]

11. He also launched the "attack" on a Friday night, like a chicken shit

He knew there would be outrage.

I forgot, this is also about the future :
Distract from The Epstain files.
Declare that midterm elections must be canceled or postponed.
Declare martial law or some made-up wartime provision that keeps him in office.
This will help him get a Nobel Peace Prize next time!

[COL Mustard]

12. There IS a definite objective to this military operation.

The objective is to distract from the Epstein Files. Period.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Trump only cares about wealth and power.

He wants something from Iran.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

14. If you think you're crazy then you aren't.... Right? Of course he is too mentally incapacitated...

...to see even his own mental incapacitation.

It's all Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether at the White House these days.

[wiggs]

16. mentally and emotionally incapacitated. should have been major topic for last 12 months. this is the result. nt

[LilElf70]

18. Mentally incapacitated?

I'm pretty sure this occurred sometime before 2015.

My question? If that's true, then why in the hell do "we the people" still allow him to proceed. At his current pace, we should be in another war by the end of the year. And of course, without anyone's approval.

How can this still be happening?

[Uncle Joe]

19. He's not operating on the basis of U.S. Interests

Thanks for the thread underpants

[OMGWTF]

21. For the EPSTEINTH time, this is a distraction. A big one, but still a distraction.

[calimary]

29. Ooooooh, I LIKE that one, OMGWTF!

For the EPSTEINTH time!

[Kablooie]

22. Everyone hopes American soldiers won't be killed.

What about all the families living in the war zones? Hundreds or thousands of them will be killed. It infuriates me when other country’s people are considered expendable.

[Half-step]

23. I think he is mentally ill...

Probably so much that he's being told what to do (and not by Putin). I can't help but wonder if TSF is trying to get the oligarchs onboard, or if this puppet has new handlers.

[FakeNoose]

34. It's more like Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller are getting the instrux from Putin (or wherever)

... and they pass it all along to Chump. Does Kushner have any security credentials AT ALL?

[stollen]

24. Hey, Jared, what the fuck happened?

You were the negotiator.

[aggiesal]

25. Well, there goes Mierda47's Nobel Peace Medal ...

And the Nobel Committee should ignore anyone Netanyahu nominates.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

26. No matter how hard he tries...

The fucking Trumpstein files aren't going away.

[Ocelot II]

27. Why, yes, now that you mention it.

[Hope22]

32. Our troops are fighting war for another country!

We will pay the bill for war with our lives, homes and future. What they get if they survive the war will be interesting because things will be a shambles here at home!! This is complete insanity! Epstein, Epstein, Epstein and his sick orange monster side kick!

[BidenRocks]

35. What War?

The Congress of The United States of America has NOT declared war on anyone!

The pResident alone launched this attack without the informed consent of the American people.

I am also sure there are ILLEGAL orders involved in this distraction from trump/Epstein files.

The only Iranian response that would make an impact would be a 9-11 type terror attack.

Whatever happened to the Pursuit of Happiness?

[bdamomma]

36. YES,

He is mentally impaired and alot more. Senator Schumer call Congress in now!!!!!!!

[Justice matters.]

38. The Constitution?

Anyone remembers the orange liar posted on his BS social "terminate the Constitution" and was still "put" back in power?

Never Forget was the mantra... that everyone, except the Democratic voters, forgot.

[Botany]

39. we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he* ripped it up

Rinse, lather, and repeat.

*. Trump

[underpants]

42. because of who's name was on it.

[cstanleytech]

40. It's well established that he's a mental midget that is compensating for certain....... shortcomings.

[Beartracks]

43. Was he ever *really* even capacitated?

===================

[debsy]

45. I absolutely agree, Senator Kaine

[mr715]

54. Resign, Senator.

There are others.

[AdamGG]

55. Netanyahu didn't want the nuclear agreement with Iran to work

That was made clear from the beginning. Trump is mentally ill as a megalomaniac sociopath narcissist, but I think what he did with Iran had rationale, though an incorrect one.

The idea that regime change in Iran will lead to a pro-western government after they have been attacked by Israel and the US is very illogical. Look at the level of resistance there was to our attempted governance of Iraq. This will likely be exponentially worse. I think the calculation is that Israel would rather be facing a divided failed state in Iran than the entity that they were facing.

I'm Jewish (though atheist) and am not saying this from an anti-Israel perspective. I'm just saying that I think this end game with Iran was in mind from the beginning when Trump ditched the agreement that John Kerry and Ernest Moniz negotiated. It's a feature, not a bug.
