Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.

Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.

In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

        When they speak up

        So you can openly admit they’re not even bothering to do the bare minimum of speaking out about this stuff, yet still attack anyone who dares criticize them for the very inaction you referred to yourself?

              my point is you’re claiming they’re doing nothing when they’re literally doing what they’re supposed to fucking do

                They could mobilize their base for unending mass demonstration and a general strike. Shut down the country until the fascists capitulate.

                They won’t. Instead they’ll side with the regime and criticize protesters for being too violent.

                They are not in a position to do anything. So regardless of the name of the bill or the intention of it, it’s not going to pass. They don’t have the votes. But they do have enough to stop certain things, so let’s look at that-… Oh, I guess fetterman is… conservative now. 😳 Oopsy-poopsy, and, is that, yep Schumer just capitulated at a critical moment in exchange for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Fair enough, so, what about when they held a super majority. I’ll bet it was a blitz of kick ass legisl-… Wait, NOTHING?!? They did NOTHING??? THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPUNGE THE FILIBUSTER PERMANENTLY, FOR FUCKING EVER, AND THEY DID

          I’m obviously saying that they do speak up and this same type of commentary gets pissed about that too. They (and apparently you too) want Democrats to pull power out of their ass.

            Why shouldn’t they? That’s exactly what Republicans are doing. These people specifically ran to represent us and they need to act like it.

                Oh, good one! Maybe you can send your Civics textbook to Donald Trump and he’ll realize the error of his ways. Great solution to the problem.

                  I guess the Democrats should slit his throat live on television, eh? I doubt you’ve thought anything through other than “me hate Democrat”
