BREAKING: MIC DROP! Senator Mark Kelly delivers the best takedown of Trump's failed Iran War that we've ever heard — just in time for the midterm elections! This is an absolute slam dunk... "We had a President take this country to war without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline, and without an exit strategy. And now he's stuck. He doesn't know what to do," Kelly said, while campaigning for Senate candidate Troy Jackson in Maine. "I sit on the Armed Services and the Intelligence Committees, both of them. And I will say, from what I know about this, the Iranians weren't any closer to developing a nuclear weapon this year than they were when I first got to the United States Senate in 2020," said Kelly. "And it's this President who, by the way, tore up the deal in 2018 that started them to enrich the uranium at a higher level." "So if you think there was a problem, this President created the problem!" he continued. "But he didn't need to go to war and put Americans in harm's way. We have now 20 deceased service members. Over 800 injured." By now, most discerning people have come to realize that this war was never about nuclear weapons. Trump launched this war because Israel convinced him that he could win a quick, splashy victory and Israel wanted this war because they want to destroy a regional adversary. American interests were never at stake. "And what did the American people get out of this?" asked Kelly. "They got nothing. They got higher gas prices. They got higher food prices." "We've got service members deployed for record numbers of days on the USS Abraham Lincoln. And I understand going on cruise can be hard. It's challenging," he went on. "But really, they had eight service members who tried to commit suicide because of the conditions aboard the ship. And I've got to tell you, the worst thing about that, by far, for me, was to see the Secretary of Defense go straight to camera and say, there's no problem, and we give commanders everything they need. That is not leadership." "Leadership has taken some responsibility for whatever the situation is," added Kelly. "And by the way, how hard would it have been for him to say, hey, I recognize there's a problem. We're going to look into the problem, and we're going to make things better for these service members because they deserve that. It's not hard to do. This Secretary of Defense was incapable of doing that." Kelly is right to lay the blame for this disastrous war as much at Hegseth's feet as Trump's. Our booze-breathed, Fox News-fried "Secretary of War" is more interested in posturing as a tough alpha male than he is in actually leading our troops. These midterm elections are, among other things, a referendum on this war. If you're sick of wasting blood and treasure on endless wars, vote blue! Please ❤️ and share if you think that Mark Kelly nailed it!

BREAKING: LOL! President Obama brutally MOCKS Trump for melting down over his Cheesecake Factory joke and then goes right for the jugular. He really is the best to ever do it... "That was the interesting thing about how the administration responded to the speech I gave the other day. They did not dispute what I said about them being directly responsible for rising prices. They did not argue with that," Obama said at a rally in Georgia for Senator Jon Ossoff. "They did not deny tariffs were contributing to higher costs for families. They didn't say anything about that. I accused this administration, based on the facts, that they were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption!" he continued. "They didn't say anything about that." "The President wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments," Obama said with a grin. "He took great umbrage. He said, I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House." "And they mobilized, this was, I mean, it's all crazy, but this was the really crazy part. They mobilized a whole-of-government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke!" he went on. "The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy," Obama continued. "The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation and reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory." "No, y'all didn't see this? This really happened!" said an incredulous Obama. "And the Treasury Secretary, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager worth half a billion dollars, and he was out there in front of the Cheesecake Factory, explaining how he ordered the delicious French dip cheeseburger instead of the egg rolls." "Now, look, this is not something I ever thought of," he added. "Like, I inherited this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, said, man, you got to go to Arby's. Order roast beef." Trump's deranged response to the original joke has served as a potent reminder of just how little he actually cares about the American people. We are suffering from the economic fallout from his tariffs and failed Iran War, gas prices are spiraling out of control, and rather than address these multiplying crises, Trump would rather attack Obama and whine about a harmless joke. "This is what I mean when I say these are not serious people," added Obama. "They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory. That's the game they've been playing for the last two years. Just keep throwing distractions out there, attacks, fabrications, phony outrage, and hope that you won't notice that your bills are higher and your life is tougher." "Except that okie-doke will not work this time, Atlanta," said the former President. "Because you know your prices are still up. Because you pay your utility bills, you've seen what those are like. You know it's still hard to pay rent and pay for child care and pay for health insurance. "And you know we need serious people who are listening to your concerns, who see you and care about you and have real plans to make your life better. People like Jon Ossoff, people like Keisha Lance Bottoms!" roared Obama. Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait to see Trump melt down over these new remarks!

BREAKING: AMEN! Rep. Jamie Raskin says that future historians will say that this "miserable period" really started when MAGA voters chose to ignore all of the women that Trump sexually harassed and abused. Our country went off the cliff after that... "Her mother sided with the rapist stepfather and Vivek Ramaswamy made an ad about it. JD Vance didn't hesitate or flinch in the same news cycle that it comes out," MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said, setting the stage for the discussion. "He doubles down. He said, run the ad harder, run the ad longer, put more money behind it. Trump said the same. What does it say about the culture around these men?" Ramaswamy's vile ad featured the mother of his Democratic opponent Amy Acton urging voters to reject her daughter at the ballot box. He dumped millions into the ad, despite the fact that Acton's mother previously sided with Acton's stepfather, who raped her. Vivek and Vance's defense of the ad has been disgusting, and proves that these Republican men view women as nothing more than disposable objects. "Well, it's completely contaminated and toxic, and you know, when historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all of those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump," said Raskin. "But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually penetrating and attacking E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in a department store in New York City," he continued. "And there are there are reports in the report that we just released, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. "There are accounts by specific survivors and victims which very much resemble this, that is at a kind of public event or public place, cornering someone in something like a dressing room or a hotel room and then sexually attacking them," said Raskin. "And that's precisely what Beatrice Keul says in her account of what took place back then." A new report released by Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee revealed yesterday that former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleged that Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in New York in 1993. Not only that, but Jeffrey Epstein introduced himself to her as Trump's best friend and offered to arrange for her to travel to Mar-a-Lago. The report states that the two predators used the "Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant" as a "hunting ground" to prey on young women and girls. The new allegation, as horrifying as it is, is unfortunately unsurprising. We have long known that Trump is an unrepentant rapist in addition to being a pedophile. His voters chose to ignore those facts because they were so excited by his racist rhetoric and cruelty. Now, they're paying the price because (surprise, surprise!), the sociopathic, serial rapist isn't actually interested in improving the lives of average Americans. He's getting richer while the country burns. "So look, the evidence is certainly enough to justify an investigation," said Raskin of Keul's accusation. "It's overwhelmingly likely it's enough to justify going to a grand jury to see if a grand jury agrees. But it certainly is not reconcilable in any way with sweeping the whole matter under the rug. And I just want to thank these survivors, these victims of these terrible events when they were mostly girls. Some of them were young women, but mostly they were girls. They were minors." "For coming forward and hanging tough and saying this really happened and the country's got to pay attention to it," he went on. "So my responsibility is the ranking member in the House Judiciary Committee and our responsibility as Democrats on the Judiciary Committee is to make certain that the Department of Justice is not able to sweep this under the rug." "And we also show evidence in this report about how the White House was actually calling all the shots and was essentially dictating or editing the statement that there was nothing to see here and that there was no basis for further investigation," added Raskin. "And it's just scandalous that that took place. In fact, the White House had to order them to use Department of Justice and FBI letterhead because they didn't want to. Nobody wanted to be associated with this extraordinary act of cover up in the service of Donald Trump and against the service of justice and the rule of law." Accountability is coming. After the midterms, Raskin will get sweeping subpoena powers and you can be damn sure he'll put them to use! Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecution!
