So we target their water supply and we don’t expect Iran to attack water desalinization plants of our Middle East allies? This is a direct escalation by the US targeting civilian infrastructure and extremely dangerous.

Tit-for-tat. The deranged and corrupt donnie, the draft-dodger, has the lowest intelligence of any elected official in the history of this country. He is a vile demon from the dark netherworld, masquerading as a human being. He is stupid beyond belief to think that another country will not retaliate when their basic infrastructure is attack. He started an illegal war and now the entire world is suffering because of it. No country should ever believe a single word that comes from the ugly round hole of his lying mouth. He creates chaos and destruction to every single thing he is involved with or touches. He needs to disappear from the face of the earth.

And it’s a war crime … but who’s counting?

Edith H Conyers's avatar

Brother I surely HOPE SO!

Gary Sharpe's avatar

Of course it is dangerous, and stupid. It is "trump conceived".

Daniel Solomon's avatar

May/may not be validated. Trump is by far the worst negotiator since Neville Chamberlain.

DOD should want him to threaten to let Israel be Israel unless we reach a deal.

Treasury should want him to threaten our refiners to reduce domestic prices to destroy the Iranian economy, which is more devastating (and efficient) than an invasion.

And another war crime.

Wendy B.'s avatar

It's a war crime. You can't blow up civilian water supplies. Iran is justified in doing anything at all in response.

I watched that clip with Wittman's fake phone call. These MAGAts are complete morons. 😂 Cheers for calling this stupidity out! 👏

Jennifer Kass's avatar

You could hear by the tone of his voice he was trying to act nonchalant, but his voice had a stressed tremor in it. What a bunch of wusses. Grow a spine and either stand up to the Orange Menace, or stand behind your sycophancy to the American public!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I noticed that too. Kind of like a tremble in his voice.

L B Rose's avatar

Got a good laugh out of that clip

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I was rolling while watching it 😂

joannegucci's avatar

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s so obvious he has NO IDEA what a total idiot he looks like!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It was "comedy gold" for sure! 😂

JohnC-Va's avatar

Yeah, we’ve got our fair share of MAGAT idiots right here in the Old Dominion, Joanne. Had the redistricting vote results stuck, Witless NitWit would have probably been one of those going down in flames in November. But alas, his faithful witless constituents will likely rise to the occasion and vote his phony ass back in for another worthless 2 years.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Targeting Iran's drinking water supply is a human rights violation. War crimes after war crimes after war crimes.

Robot Bender's avatar

It's an out and out war crime. Deliberately targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure is a war crime.

Another big win in the South Carolina primary race was the 61% plus vote for Dr. Annie Andrews. She will be tough compitition for Lindsey Graham. We need this Democratic Senator for the benifit of the state and nation!

Jean Conley's avatar

Hadn't heard that, Alan. GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!! Someone has to get Imbecile trump-loving wimp out of office!!!! South Carolina has stuck with that idiot (and so have we) for far too long.

Happy Birthday Brett 🍾🎂🎈

"Trump went after Stephen A. Smith on Truth Social this morning, calling him a “low IQ individual” and “dumb as a rock”

Ummm...look in the mirror, you fat fuck! Just another racist rant.

RobWhitH's avatar

As we know, "low IQ individual" is his replacement for the n-word.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

They ran on releasing Epstein files. Then they spent all this time trying to cover them up. Trump has made inflation worse with his hairbrained war.

L B Rose's avatar

I think this is like promising no new wars and yet saying that he never promised anything. The only thing he was serious about was his own personal "retribution"....let's hurt anyone who has hurt my feelings!

sheryl jeffries's avatar

That's true! To be so tone deaf to the country he sure has a thin skin

Linda Harris's avatar

That article proved collusion on the part of everyone named. Since trump owns the DOJ, I am sure nothing will be done now; but there will be a future where these people will have to face charges for all of this.

Katrina Nuciforo's avatar

It certainly did but they don’t care we all knew it and they knew we knew it. Deplorable’s every single one of them

sheryl jeffries's avatar

I sure hope so. What in the world is Laura Loomer doing with Pete Hegseth?

Linda Harris's avatar

The only thing I know about that despicable woman is that she has trump's ear for some reason and he follows what she says.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

I know; she’s a real nut job. I can’t only imagine what she’s advising them over Cuba. I believe she’s the one that started the whole Haitians are eating peoples pets rumors.

Katrina Nuciforo's avatar

That’s his M.O 🤬

Joanna Piros's avatar

Witless Wittman! What an incredible doofus and excellent work to Meidas' reporter for clearly showing the fake phone conversation. This is one for the highlight reel!

For context, here is a partial tally of U.S. aircraft losses in this war between February 28 and June 8: one F-35 (82.5 million), three F-15Es (120 million), one A-10 (18.8 million), one AH-64 Apache (52 million), one E-3 Sentry AWACS (valued at roughly $700 million), multiple KC-135 tankers (62.2 million EACH), 28 MQ-9 Reapers (952 million), one MQ-4C Triton (240 million), two MC-130Js (228.4 million), several helicopters (???), and more (???).

So, on just the math (given in 2020 dollars - the latest figures available to the public) we've lost over 2.46 BILLION in aircraft alone. This does not include tge crews of these aircrafts, the fuel spent to get them to their targets (or rather to BE targets), the daily maintenance costs or the costs to morale when their comrades find out they were lost.

We, as a nation, can not afford to continue this. The human cost alone is too high, regardless of the billions of dollars we've spent.

I will close this with a quote from a President who said this during his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize (NOT a fake FIFA prize)...

"We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's children."

-Jimmy Carter

Jean Conley's avatar

All of our (taxes) money going to that useless war. Thank you for quoting what Jimmy Carter said, Richard.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE! PLEASE RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES AND READ THE NAMES OUT LOUD! PLEASE!

💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍

Alan Mikuni's avatar

Are Hegseth and Loomer sharing a Gitmo cell? ... or to maintain at least some semblance of propriety... perhaps assigned to separate quarters? Or perhaps Cuba can stage a preemptive raid to detain and hold hostage Hegseth and Loomer (after all, how idiotic to visit a potential hot-spot) ... Cuba's leverage against potential future hostilities?

Chezzie's avatar

Oh, please please PLEASE KEEP THOSE 2 sickos there. At Guantanamo. In cells. Together or separately, I don't care - just KEEP THEM LOCKED IN.

Patti Campbell's avatar

Hopefully, the Cubans will imprison both of them and never release them.

RobWhitH's avatar

Gitmo is a US base that has remained on the island all these years of Castro et al. I think the Marines run it. This is where all the real and alleged 9/11 or ISIS terrorists were gulaged; a handful are still there.

RobWhitH's avatar

Loomer is not a government employee. Why is she on the trip? A little partying in private?

Teresa L.'s avatar

Praying over his tiny dick so Pete will feel like a big, strong, army man. Asking God to give him Strength to push his violent, racist, adolescent warrior dreams of himself forward. Praying for the courage to openly insult his Generals. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Old Man's avatar

The Situation Room attendees, they all know what is in the trump-epstein files. This cover up makes them as guilty as the dumbass they are protecting. Sadly justice seems a never ending circle jerk, so fucking frustrating!

myhoopbabies's avatar

Can South Carolina really find no one better than that POS sycophant Lindsay Graham? Come on, my 4 year old granddaughter could do a better job.

Jean Conley's avatar

Bet your granddaughter could if she was only 2!!!!!

Marliss Desens's avatar

His Democratic opponent, Dr. Annie Andrews (pediatrician) is impressive.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Remember: it's the primary. If the MAGA choose crazy pro-Trumpers in the primary, that is a GOOD THING because they will probably lose in the real election.

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Feminists used to ask: What about the word "no" do you not understand? Calling what is going on in Iran a "cease-fire" just goes to show that words have lost all meaning. Yes, I know, this is not a new observation but the "no means yes" mentality keeps getting worse. Inflation is good. Sleeping is waking. Old is young. Losing is winning. The farther we get from reality, the deeper will be the fall.

L B Rose's avatar

Just like Orwell's "1984"

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Yeah. And you know how that turned out.

Jean Conley's avatar

Yes, and it's creepy.

Teresa L.'s avatar

We can not believe a damn thing they say, unless they are threatening us with violence, loss of rights. Then they are speaking truth.

Nancy Richardson's avatar

Thanks Ben for this update. You deserve a medal for bringing the truth daily to us and the world!

Phil De Luca's avatar

Everything they do is a lie. We need more than Tillis, Cassidy and a few others to tell the truth.

1. Trump is a pedophile. At least 10 Senators should admit that.

2. He doesn't want to release his grades ever and threatened to sue schools because the truth shows he is the LOWEST IQ of any president and barely got through college.

3. He is 100% guilty of crimes against minors. let him prove otherwise. Publish the Jane Doe claim in all the MAGA papers and news. Every single reporter when in the oval office should just say,

Mr. Pedo oops President, isn't it true that you threanted the 13 year old girl you raped when you were 49? that is the way to phrase the question? His answer: No I didn't threaten her.

No I didn't rape her. And yes she looked just like my daughter who was the same age, size, hair and both were virgins.

end of questioning.

PLEASE JUST ONE REPORTER.

Also each reporter, before they ask any question has to say:

Mr. President before I ask my question I want you to know I graduated with honors unlike you and have an IQ in the top 10% of all americans, unlike you. Now my question is this :------

JUST DO IT ONCE.

And when you finish asking the question, just say, "thank you sweetie".

PLEASE. You will make all the news around the world and people will honor you with awards for your honesty.
