If a female president told the country that she started a war with IRAN based on her feelings...

Can you imagine the uproar? This is one of the big (irrational) arguments against women in leadership. We're too damn emotional.

Now we have a macho maga man starting a war based on his "feelings" and "hunches".

It makes me sick.

I hope it comes ten fold to Trump, his entire clan, and this entire criminal administration.
Bombing schools, hospitals, and water plants is the MAGA way.

11. This administration has removed all right-wing outrage from future administrations.

Because no future administration will be as vile and cruel as this one, and they are defending it like it's decent and moral. Pretty soon, no one will listen to them anymore - I hope.
