Has there been any official WH note on the need for this war, yet? Or objectives?

20 or so far, there is a new one each day

And all of them different from the last and/or contradicting each other at times.

It's like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would you qualify complaining about starting an unnecessary war as "whining"? Why? What about ICE agents killing American citizens? Adding unprecedented numbers to the federal deficit, etc.? How nice it must be to be able to just dismiss these things.

> How nice it must be to be able to just dismiss these things. I don't know anyone in the US in real life who is happy with the current situation, including people who voted for Trump. The cheer leaders are only visible online. The people who voted for Harris are saying "we told you so," and the others are saying "he conned us."

I don't understand the "he conned us" stance. He was literally saying all these things before getting elected. He wasn't being coy about it, we all knew it would be terrible, and here we are. What was the con exactly?

If there's one thing you can't accuse Trump of, it's ever masking how utterly nonsensical he is.

Crazy how effective at making everything worse this admin has been.

That's the strategy of Project 2025, make all the nice things we have much worse and broken so there's no choice but to scrap and start over. While they're in charge, of course.

Indeed, particularly given that ICE agents are going to be deployed to airports. Their penchant for killing civilians and otherwise violating civil rights only to lie about their actions hardly seems like a good fit for airport security duties they haven’t been trained to perform.

Trump is but a symptom of an underlying sickness. Things won't magically go back to normal after he dies.

Did someone say they would?
