OMG... Trump is lying?
Who'd a' thunk it?
Of course, this is only happening because he killed the Iran agreement with 5 nations on nuclear development.

cnn us forces helping israel against iran intercept missiles
According to CNN, the United States military is helping Israel intercept Iranian missiles and drones. This assistance is being provided during ongoing attacks by Iran on Israel.
The US military has aided in similar missile and drone interceptions during previous Iranian attacks on Israel. This involves the utilization of both naval and air assets.
While the exact details of the current assistance were not immediately available, U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft and destroyer-based missile defenses have been used to intercept missiles in past attacks.
It is important to note that the U.S. was not directly involved in Israel's recent strikes on Iran and warned against any retaliation targeting US interests or personnel.

Our boys are in harm's way again, thanks to Bibi (and Trumpf):
"I am AIPAC, and I approve of this."

Israel attacked Iran because it KNOWS the US will spend hundreds of billions and thousands of US lives to defend it.
It's the Iraq war all over again. Just lie us into war.

It's interesting that Israel's Dome has quite a few holes in it; which is one reason that that a US Golden Orange Dome is a highly improbable idea.
"AI Overview
Size Comparison Map: Israel vs. California - IRIS
Israel is significantly smaller than the United States. To put it in perspective, Israel is about the size of New Jersey, and the entire United States could hold Israel over 400 times.
In fact, the area of Israel (8,355 sq miles) is smaller than the area of several U.S. states, including Delaware, Maryland, and Vermont."

It is significant that many countries along the flight path assisted in the takedowns of projectiles flung from Iran to Israel.

Donald Trump, the man who bragged about bringing peace, could not prevent a war and does not prevent our involvement in that war.
Time for MAGA to switch from being peaceniks to blood-thirsty hawks.

Let Israel Twist in the Wind.
They started an Aggressive War based on Lies and and distortions.
They Expect Americans to Die For Them. **ck that.
Iran was complying with the nuclear deal. Israel is the problem.
---- Them and all their allies in Congress. Schumer most of all.
Trump helped the Israelis by deceiving the Iranian government about the Negotiations.
Not Our Finest Hour.

MAGAts are whatever Trump tells them they are.
Trump committing rapes, insurrection, veteran-abuse, adultery, being a convicted felon 34 times over, sucking on Poohty's little Poohty, sabotaging NATO, raising taxes while tanking the economy, corruption like demanding and taking an airliner from Hamas's sponsors, etc.? None of that matters.
The only principle MAGAts have is unquestioning allegiance to their Dear Orange Leader.

There is an indication that Israel has been planning this attack for months... with the USA's help... and it is not going as planned... in fact it looks really bad on our "good faith" demands.
Trumpanzee says he thinks(thought) Iran will (would) be more willing to negotiate after the bombing commenced... and of course... after seeing his... carefully timed to coordinate with... a big fat military parade... which was intended to impress...
Instead... he sat there scowling in muggy DC summer heat... upstaged by demonstrations of international opposition to his stupidity...
Seems to me he was thinking about "strong arming" theatrics...
like he did in CA...
The cl0wn brigade wants to follow this guy into war to make Uhmurika grate uhgin

I realize Trump was a casualty of the Vietnam War - Pyrite Bonespurs with Triple (!) Durian Garlands - but which of his immediate family is going to lead the way and become a Plastered Pete Warfighter? Grrrrrrrrrrr.

We just can't keep our hands out of making or getting America involved in wars thanks to neocons of both parties. Actually the Ukraine war was supposedly ended and agreed upon prior to 2016 until the neocons got involved and wanted it continued so as to weaken Russia they claimed.
It is why I've always liked Tucker Carlson. He opposes outsiders always conniving on getting us involved in war making. Why do we support countries that refuse to allow all American citizens that have paid billions in taxes to immigrate to that country? Lmk when you figure that one out.

Tucker Carlson Blasts Trump for Being Complicit' in Israel's Attack on Iran
Tucker Carlson called Trump "complicit" in Israel's attack and urged the president to "drop Israel" and "let them fight their own wars." He said "The United States should not at any level participate in a war with Iran. No funding, no American weapons, no troops on the ground."

What will MAGA do? First Joe Rogan speaks out against Trump, now Tucker Carlson? The party is falling apart!

MAGA will disperse. The center won't hold.
Give it time. Trump is Goin' Down.
