Just about everything involving this illegal war with Iran infuriates me, but maybe nothing more than the fact that the world is being run by old men who will never have to face the consequences of the decisions they’re making.
Greedy, soulless, corrupt old white men (including Clarence Thomas) are ruining the world. I feel completely helpless and hopeless. We all know what’s wrong with our government, but the only thing individuals can do is vote. Makes me very sad.
We are only helpless if we choose to be. One thing we can do is stop buying stuff and only buy the essentials. No new cars, appliances, clothing, shop local and thrift shops. Don’t play the victim, form communities, help each other. Stand up, unite. I’m with you ✊🏾
I believe that Don Jr and Eric, as well as several conservative SCOTUS members, have children/grandchildren that are at draft age, and we have Barron. All of them should be immediately drafted for combat. Hegseth and JD, who talks about serving in the military-> switch your suits for uniforms and stand up and fight, too. I think your services would be better appreciated.
Lindsey Graham is corrupt and Sascha mentioned seeing him at some of the "parties". If Epstein was a spy for Israel, one would argue that Graham of course has to go along with this stupid war. I am absolutely tired of these twisted, delusional, old men bringing us to war. I have a son in the Navy. This directly impacts my family. If I didn't already despise predator Trump with every fiber of my being, this would certainly do it.
I hope Dr Annie Andrews (and all Dem primary and eventual GE candidates) remind voters of this every single day until November-- and put it just like you did, Mike. Remind everyone of the profiteering at the expense of our kids' lives.
I hold that you can have good faith reasons for supporting this war, but if so, then you should have absolutely zero issue with a) sending your own kids there, b) getting a war declaration from Congress and c) full transparency and accountability
Thank you for your truth-filled emotions and fiercely justified anger! These creeps, to me include all of those that have not come out against this horrendous, old criminal pedophile abusing teenage and grade school girls (17 to 9 years old). It’s all in the Epstein files thousands of mentions of Trump in those files AND the survivors are not acknowledged or listened to. The GOP Senators & Reps have not denounced him-So they are complicit and guilty of being pedophile apologists! They too are Guilty of harmful behavior! Every member with a conscience should get up out of chamber and walk out, refusing to do anything until they impeach him and convict him and put in jail. All the other countries iariubd the world that found their leaders (along with other people) being discovered to be a part of the Epstein‘s files have been punished, denounced and fired except for this American lunatic.
Also understand just about every independent journalist using sub-stack is asking for at least $8.00 a mo, or $96 a year! If y’all were under a collaborative umbrella. It would be a way better investment for working class families! It could be like a 2026 electronic newspaper! Then we could get TYT & Legal AF including a plethora of other excellent Substack journalists.
I’m a working class elder, and I apologize, but right now I can’t afford the $96 to be a “paid member”.
Well put, Mike. Unfortunately November is still 8 months away. Lots of bull-in-the-china-shop stuff still to come. Too bad the Founders didn’t allow for governments to fall, votes of no-confidence, and so on. Break glass in emergency options.
Very well written. Tells it as it is without any extraneous BS. NOW WHAT TO DO? Find candidates with viable agendas who will take action to fix this mess. (How) Then volunteer to get out the vote so they can get into office.
I have a great idea, have Graham talk Barron Trump into joining first. That would help him be like every other presidents son & fight for this country.
I made a comment to Thom Hartmann's column on Sat, 03/07/26 that refers to this. It's about Smedley Butler's 1935 book, "War is a Racket." It should be read by all, especially by parents with children who might be drafted by these filthy shitscum sucking vermin of the earth.
How is this not treason? Or at least disqualifying him to stay a Senator?
Why are members of the US Congress allowed to take millions from PACs paid by/benefiting foreign nations without having to register as a foreign lobbyist? This funding is tainting their votes.
This is happening in both sides of the aisle. Per CharGPT, Schumer is the top recipient of $ from pro-Israeli PACs ($6.5M) and Ted Cruz is #2 ($6.1M).
Re Cruz, he voted against the War Powers Act on this War against Iran, but literally could not state one fact about Iran. See this video with … of all people … Tucker Carlson.
Likewise, there is a recent video of Schumer at a fundraiser dinner basically committing to work for Israel.
That is simply wrong. No matter what the country. This should be illegal across the board.
They are elected by the American people, their salary, pensions and life long insurance benefits are paid for by the America People— most of whom don’t have pensions or even affordable health care.
They should be forbidden to take any foreign money and be forced to work exclusively for the American People. If they refuse, they should be disqualified and removed.
I never used to advocate this, however, this election I'm voting a solid blue ticket. Count me tired of all the bullshit going on this past year. Since I am one of millions of "little guys" who can't actually effect change, I must do what I can by speaking out, voting, writing legislators, and paying attention (although this is all exhausting).

I have never truly hated anyone before this administration.
You nailed it with this article. Everything you said is absolutely true.

Lady Lindsey is a vile, disgusting toad

No more empty promises, ACTION!

Thank you, Mike. We have a treasonous senator to work with the treasonous president.

I have a paid subscription but I keep getting a message that says to upgrade.
Hi, I cannot segment in Substack's backend otherwise I would so everyone gets the same message! Sorry
You'll all set with your paid subscription—thanks for your support.
Same here. I’ve tried to contact someone but no luck.
See my response above, thank you!
Me, too, Kandace.
