"DSA is the future of the Democratic Party."

Yeah...sure.

"A Day Without Capitalism"

You need only ask the Cubans about days without capitalism.

Fortunately, none of the candidates who identify as Democratic Socialists seem to want to follow that path.


"FUNNY"

The US had extensive battle plans for Iran, decades of prep, rehearsals.

Trump is afraid to commit troops needed to actually win that war, which for a country the size of Iran, is essentially all the troops.

Perhaps the best thing that happened vis a vis Trump's desire to be a War Hero President is he failed misearably at war, just nine days into office:

"The Raid on Yakla was a joint United States/United Arab Emirates military operation carried out on January 29, 2017 in al-Ghayil, a village in the Yakla area of the Al Bayda Governorate of central Yemen,[10][11] during the Yemeni civil war. Prepared by U.S. counterterrorism officials under President Barack Obama, the mission was ultimately authorized by President Donald Trump nine days into his presidency.
...
"The approval of the Yakla raid did not follow the rigorous procedure used during the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, which involved a Situation Room meeting that detailed the operational plan, operational goals, a risk assessment (to both U.S. personnel and civilians), and a legal assessment of the operation. Instead, the raid was approved over dinner conversations between Trump, his son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, his special adviser Steve Bannon, and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.[30] Mattis, along with General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presented the plan; then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was also at the dinner.[31][32] No representatives from the State Department were present, departing from the norms of previous administrations.[32] Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner both reportedly opposed the mission.[32] Flynn reportedly strongly advocated for the mission to President Trump."
