“No war with Iran,” Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted on Tuesday. “The American people want President Trump to focus on making life more affordable for working families here at home, not sending our military into another endless war in the Middle East.”
The resistance lives! No more forever wars! No more regime change! Help struggling Americans! No more suffering! Go Elizabeth Warren!
So later that night, we hoped, at Trump’s State of the Union Speech, surely Senator Warren would stand by these antiwar values and protest Trump’s warmongering against Iran, right? Right?
“These are horrible people,” Trump says. “After Midnight Hammer” (the illegal operation in which the US and Israel attacked Iran in the middle of peace negotiations, “they were warned to make no future attempt to rebuild their weapons program,” which, according to the Trump administration’s own report, they haven’t, “and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions.” Not true.
He continues with the lie: “We haven’t heard those secret words that we will never again pursue a nuclear weapon.”
And she’s up! Not protesting or booing but applauding, a standing ovation from the Massachusetts senator, alongside other Democrats Chuck Schumer, Amy Klobuchar, Chris Coons, John Fetterman, and more.
Trump continues. “One thing is certain. I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are, by far, to have a nuclear weapon.”
And they’re up again! Democrats and Republicans alike, cheering on the president’s lies, no different than the WMD hoax of the Iraq War.
Luckily Katie and Aaron are here to mock the warmongering senators as they cheer.
Also in this week’s Friday Free-for-All: JD Vance is still blaming Joe Biden for Americans suffering in poverty, Dr. Oz announces new sweeping cuts to Medicaid, and Bill Maher rolls around in a big pot of slime while talking about Ilhan Omar.
