Marshall on Iran: "I'm supporting what President Trump is doing...the doctor in me says the benefits of us being there outweigh the risks. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. I don't want boots on the ground, I don't want a forever war, and yet we've got to pay attention to gas and groceries."

There’s zero possibility of military victory without boots on the ground in (at least) southern Iran, and the attendant casualties, which Trump’s desperation for popularity won’t permit, mean keeping this war going is an utterly pointless and catastrophic military and fiscal hemorrhage.

Personally I think that it's about Trump's ego, and electability. Trump is convinced that he can fix what he percieves to be the US's problems when others could not. Unfortunately Trump is a idiot who's plans cause horrible results. He also believes that starting a ware make a president popular.

Iran having a nuclear weapon does nothing to increase or decrease US security. So many countries have them. This is just propaganda We’re fighting a forever war of choice so Israel can continue colonizing the Middle East. Period. End of story This is not in Americans’ interest at all. Only expense

In other words, you have zero integrity, values or even a coherent position on a deranged lunatic starting random wars while Americans suffer at home from gutted services…

Until America wakes up and admits that Republicans are NOT "focused on the cost of gas and groceries," as Marshall asserts, America's gonna keep electing Republicans, who will continue to drive up the cost of gas and groceries while driving semi trucks loaded with cash to Elon Musk's front door.

* The "Vietnam quagmire" refers to the U.S. entanglement in a prolonged, unwinnable war, characterized by incremental escalations, faulty intelligence, and an inability to exit without losing credibility. { Trump's Iran War, is the Strait of Hormuz "Quagmire". } *

Oh the old WMD story again. Say what you want but there is no eminent threat and diplomacy worked in the past, should have been used this time as well. Too late now.

The therapist in me says that... and it better have something to do with only the patients im seeing and only to that patient. What does him being a doctor have to do with his opinion on Iran?

I know I do. Every parent in our country should be broken hearted over the losses of these beautiful, patriotic young adults. Doesn’t that “other guy” have a son and two grandchildren this age? He should care about these losses just as much and end this now. WTH!!

Gosar, Barrasso, Paul, Cassidy, and Jackson are proof that being a gop doctor means nothing. How can anyone who took the Hippocratic Oath fight universal healthcare, oppose vaccines, pry into women’s health records, weaponize school lunches, and gleefully watch as USAid cuts kill 750,000 people?

Supporting the orange toad's plan? He has no plan. He makes it up as needed. Marshall should volunteer himself if he truly believes in the plan. Or send your children and grandchildren as well.

Iran made an agreement with Obama not to make a nuclear weapon & stuck to the agreement. Trump tore it in his first term. Then in the middle of fresh negotiations Trump attacked Iran. I don't think even he knows the aim of the attack except that he was egged on by Netanyhu & his own right wing

I support the war but i don’t want the war and I want to lower prices but don’t want to do anything to make that happen. And it’s all the Democrats fault. And I’d it me or does Maria seem less willing to carry water for the administration these days?

Gas and groceries wouldn’t be up if he hadn’t decided to start a war in the first place. He’s caused fertilizer prices to skyrocket, which made it so farmers grew less crops, so prices went up.

Iran no longer needs Nuclear weapons, they own the Straight of Hormuz! 🍊PEDO LIES about everything. He can’t even accidentally tell the truth. Every accusation is another confession! The biggest Nuclear threat to our planet is coming from the White Trash House! And nobody is bombing us? GOP is DEAD!

As a former Kansan, he’s seeing his loyal base slipping away. I’ve been to his townhall meetings, and he had the Republicans eating out of his hand. Now they are pushing back. His last townhall near Wichita was packed with angry older voters who were the victims of his slavish devotion to Trump.

"I'm supporting what President Trump is doing because I am a hopeless sycophant who is never allowed to show the slightest sign of intelligence and independence". There, fixed that for you.

"Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever." - Michael Scott

There is no military path to ending Iran's nuclear ambitions. We cannot bomb it out of them. In fact, the more we bomb them, the more they are convinced that they need a nuke. So if the goal is to prevent Iran from having a nuke, this war is the exact wrong way to do it.

Has anyone asked about the “rescue”? bsky.app/profile/alex...

Alex Burch@alexkburch.bsky.social

Who is the pilot & the WSO that supposedly were shot down in Iran and rescued? What are their conditions? Where are they? What bases were they assigned to? Has anyone interviewed their family members? Incident reported April 3, yet there’s no information, no updates. Do you trust this regime?

Sen. Roger Marshall: "we've got to pay attention to gas and groceries." If you live in Kansas, call Sen. Roger Marshall and tell him what you think about spending billions of your tax money on a forever war while you can't afford gas and groceries. Phone: 202-224-4774

Time to wave a magic wand and bring the war to an end before everyone's reserve supplies of oil run out and everyone starts bidding for replacement stock. Here's hoping for not too much additional damage in the Gulf, so long as we have the wand to wave. Can the US just quit and go away?

And yet,they didn't have a nuclear weapon before he started the war, and weren't going to. He created the problem that they now are praising him for solving. It's ridiculous. And the goal now, according to Trump? To go back to where they were before he fucked it up. THese people are so, so stupid.

So to keep prices low, federal subsidies for gasoline and groceries? Government gas stations and grocery stores? Also, how are you going to get the enriched uranium from the Iranians without boots on the ground? Ask them nicely?

“reduce Regulations for healthcare providers….” Republicans detest Safety regulations! - more money for their Corporate donor$.

Yeah, someone should point out that his baseball card here says his big issue is ‘limit federal spending’???? So, he votes against all of trumps bullshit spending in forever wars, tax breaks to the rich, right? Right?

Sen Marshall wants to “limit Federal spending“ for his Constituents that Need Food, healthcare, housing…..that he voted against! Jerk! 🤡

As long as my stock portfolio doesn’t crash I’ll support anything the president does, no matter how dumb [with a b] I sound.

Just a sycophantic fucking quack! There was an agreement to prevent Iran from developing nukes but the diaper-wearing, dementia-addled, fragile-egoed whiny bitch ripped it up during his first disastrous tromp thru DC. GOP supporters of this admin should be removed from office.

"The doctor in [him]?" Is he claiming his medical education makes him more of a foreign policy and morality guru? What's the doctor in him say about supporting a man who brags about raping women? What's the doctor say about a man who defies established science?

I’m gonna lose it if I hear “we can not let Iran have a nuclear weapon” as a rationale for this. They did not and weren’t going to be able to get one under JCPOA. He made it easier for them to get one.

Notice how all these sycophants repeat a Trump Lie as their basis in fact then spend next 10 minutes tying themselves into knots trying to support it. Election Stolen, other countries pay the tariffs, Democrats are Communists, blowing up boats in Caribbean smuggling drugs, and so on…

The Republicans created this nightmare now because they fear they will lose they are going to fix it? Wake up people midterms are a few months away! Vote 💙 for ☮️💟🇺🇸 save democracy!

Well if he supports what the rapist is doing, that means he supports soldiers getting killed, his country committing war crimes, supports a rapist, supports people unable to afford to eat or put gas in their cars, also supports people in concentration camps, & death on the streets. It's quite simple
