We know he’s a malignant narcissist but the piece that often gets overlooked is that’s he’s very much a sadist. So when people implore him to think of the people of this nation who are hurting, I shudder. Please don’t remind him we are here. He will only give the thumbscrews another twist!
Beautifully and truthfully written, Mikr. Thank you. I hope your message gets passed around to the right people -- and the wrong people who follow this idiot.
They started out saying only 427 from the four branches were wounded then a few weeks ago they said it was actually just over 700 and this week the number is over 800. I agree with you that it is probably much higher. They just don't care. They just do not want to report the number b/c Americans are already against trump's war.
I have never in my life felt like the press was a group of fucking imbecilic deadbeats until project 2025 was published and you are actually sickened or surprised or unable to report anything with any notion that every single fucking thing was laid out over decades and you pretend this "next conservative president" is the source.
It's definitely not a coincidence that Trump banned the media the same time an article came out in the Washington Post. It's a disgrace that military members are trying to get benefits from the government for their loved ones passing away and because the government won't call it a war, they can't get the benefits. No family should have to go through that. My thoughts abd prayers are with those families. I hope you get to take some time and be with your family Mike.
I want to thank you for all your work on our behalf. Sometimes I wonder if our democracy is already lost. Then I listen to you and people like you who are speaking out and it gives me hope
Look I've been saying this since we first attacked. I propose that if every person in America that knew a person that died in this Iran war were to go to a website that someone could create. They have to put in the person's full name their birth date the town that they lived in a picture of them if they can that way we can discount duplicate you know 25 people know one person it's not 25 people dead is one person dead. But if they all did this we've known exactly how many people died
Ok—I was not going to pay for a subscription because I’m watching every cent as being a wife of a farmer in Ohio . I pay all the bills, and have some I can’t pay yet. (Hugh exorbitant bills 😤) but this~~~attacking free press is why I’m being a paid subscriber. I really appreciate you Mike and know you do read comments, as you’ve “liked” a couple of mine. So very thankful to all of you on Substack and can’t be forbidden by the worst president EVER for reporting the truth.
You hit the nail on the head. I have thinking about those military families. Do they know? Have they been lied to? What if that was my son-in-law or my grandson? Instead of receiving respect, they are used as political pawns.
Didn't CNN also expose the destruction of military bases in the Gulf? and beyond. The photos sent in by service members showing for the first time the blown-out buildings and broken planes and vehicles?
That, IMO, is why CNN got the emperor's boot.
Americans can and will say "well, they volunteered!" about the 22-23-24-44 killed and the hundreds injured (some of them severely disabled).
But the American taxpayer spent 20 years building those bases. And the Pentagon--which has never ever passed an audit and fights like hell against ever being audited--wants another uncontrolled $1.5 TRILLION (before all that infrastructure and hardware was destroyed).
What the hell.
One positive point for me: Lil Mikey Johnson had to tell Republicans to run for the hills and the hollers because Whiskey Pete was so widely detested (before these 2 reports!!!) that he will be impeached in a New York minute.
We are in for some wild times. No one in this administration is capable of steadying the ship of state. All Republicans can do is tear down, destroy.
Excellent article! Thanks for sharing the truth with w and for us! I truly appreciate all your sacrifice and word and wisdom and commitment and courage! Thank you! Pray all will step up and support you! I was a nurse in NM in 69 in 2nd Tet offensive and my husband was an artillery officer and when he came home and was at NC State in Raleigh he told anyone who he was and what he did he would have been spit on or beat up or killed! I didn’t dare talk about it! Yes I know what it’s like and you speak the truth! Thank you again and Pray God blesses you and yours!!

Absolutely true!

Unprecedented feels limp and empty these days. Malevolent, revengeful, duplicitous, hollow, self-serving, disingenuous...
Or just plain crooked.
Whatever leaves a slimy, all over, rancid taste in your consciousness.
Degenerate
I'm betting there's many more and many more injured

What's your point, minus the swearing and whatever?

Uh, yes they are, yes he is. When have any of that bunch of Nazis not lied—about anything?
Trump has started another endless war with the media.

The networks can refuse to run political ads for all republicans

If you believe anything that comes out of the criminal enterprise running the country, happy fools day to you!
