The NYT covering Trump and republicans as usual. Framing the story with Republican talking points right at the top.

How do people continue to pay subs for this nonsense .

Look, these wars (hey, I thought they weren't wars, they were operations. Funny, that!) just happened, there's no ownership of them, no responsibility for their being waged. But we all need to sacrifice, even the most basic functions of society for those wars that just sort of happened.

THEY can make WAY more money off war than taking care of citizens.

It would actually be cheaper to just let Iran keep the Strait as a toll route and pay them an annual fee of a few billion a year to let ships pass than to keep fighting.

Did he just attack, and threaten to defund, Medicare? The Dems might pick up SIX senate seats if that is what the Rs run on.

Right?! "We" are not fighting a war - HE is fighting an aggressive, unnecessary war of choice that is bankrupting our country!
