#ranttime Sorry to interrupt, but this just happened.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that US military forces had dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear facilities, ending a weeklong deliberation period over joining Israel‘s campaign against Tehran and thrusting the United States squarely into an escalating Middle East conflict (CNN).
I have no comments (yet), just facts.
Lands I can‘t 🤦🏻♀️ 4mo
Susanita Thank you for your attention to this matter. 4mo
Deblovestoread Because that's how you win a Noble Peace Prize. Sorry for the flippant response. I can't wrap my head around the horror of it all. 🤯🤬🤯 4mo

Eggbeater Congress is supposed to declare wars, aren't they? I feel sick. I don't want any humans to be hurt. 4mo
Cupcake12 There are no words 4mo
Prairiegirl_reading This is just so sickening. 4mo
Aims42 😔💔 I have no words, I‘m speechless and sick to my stomach 4mo
Librarybelle It‘s horrifying 4mo
dabbe @RoyReads1 @Susanita @Deblovestoread @Eggbeater @Cupcake12 @Prairiegirl_reading @Aims42 @Librarybelle I know I'm supposed to be happy and post about happy books and happy pets, but how can we ignore this? History is happening before our eyes, and history is a genre in reading. According to MSNBC, he did this without any congressional approval. And his message tonight leaves A LOT unanswered. #wtf? 😤 4mo
Aims42 @dabbe I didn‘t even bother watching his message, I knew it wouldn‘t be coherent and nothing would be answered 🙄 The US is being run by a 7 year old upset that nobody came to his birthday parade. Please also know that you don‘t have to be happy and post about happy books & pets all the time. You‘re right, history is happening and we can‘t ignore it. We gotta take care of each other ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (edited) 4mo
Eggbeater My books are sometimes political, and I need to know that I'm not alone right now, so thank you. 4mo
IriDas This is so terrible. No congressional approval. Going to war, for what? His ego. You don‘t always have to be happy. We live in a terrible timeline and ignoring this reality is only for the privileged. 4mo
FashionableObserver God help us all. Congress needs to put a stop to this. There are legal, constitutional ways to do so. We need to contact our representatives en masse. This is bad. In fact, this may be as bad as it gets, I fear. 4mo
MemoirsForMe I appreciate you letting us know. I‘m speechless. 🤯😩 4mo
BarbaraJean I can‘t either right now. I saw this news, read a few headlines and had to stop. Also: I appreciate that you don‘t only post about happy things. These are not happy times, although God knows I need to look for joy where I can in the midst of this madness. There is a place for happy posts and there is a place for keeping it real and Litsy can be both. Thank you for doing both! 💜 (edited) 4mo
Jari-chan Can't put a Like at this post, because I really don't like what's happening... 😩 4mo
5feet.of.fury Reminds me of Bush saying Iraq had wmds to justify the invasion. This is atrocious. So much for “the Peace President” 4mo
LiseWorks Wow! I knew he couldn't help himself 4mo
julesG I have no words. Just letters. TF? WTAF? 4mo
AnnCrystal I expected it, yet couldn't believe it. I'm just going to say the word that needs to be said, “Impeach!“ 😢🙏🏼. 4mo
Bookwormjillk I intentionally let my phone die last night. This is just horrifying. 4mo
AmyG I have many thoughts on this. God help us all. 4mo
Bookwomble 😥 4mo
Amiable @Eggbeater Amen. I‘m with you. Reading is political. Banning books brings politics into the reading sphere. And like @dabbe said, history is being written as we speak. We should not ever be made to feel like we can‘t post anything about what‘s happening in the world. 4mo
Roary47 I was at two dance recitals for my girls and left that high to see this. I also didn‘t watch his speech. I‘m worried what this will mean. I‘m glad you are being real. We need to stick together in good times and bad. Praying for safety for us all because of one man‘s actions. 🥺 4mo
dabbe @Aims42 Thank you for this. I needed it. ♥️♥️♥️ 4mo
dabbe @Eggbeater You are not! We need to stick together now more than ever! BTW, I just followed you! 🤩😍🤗 4mo
dabbe @IriDas W🤩WZA. Well said, and thank you! 🩵🎯🩵 4mo
dabbe @FashionableObserver I fear that it could get even worse. And you're right; I'm contacting my representatives. Thanks for the reminder. 💙♥️💙 4mo
dabbe @MemoirsForMe #same 💙♥️💙 4mo

Aims42 @dabbe ???? Sending you all the hugs I can right now, or fist bumps if it‘s also 90°F where you‘re at too 4mo
dabbe @LiseWorks As @Aims42 said, no one came to his horrific birthday parade, so he's taking his anger out on the whole world. 😤 4mo
dabbe @julesG 🩵🎯🩵 4mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal And after that, “LOCK HIM UP!“ #convictedfelon 😤 4mo

Aims42 @dabbe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 4mo
AmyG You‘ll love this one. I just read someone calling him Emperor Hirocheeto. 🤣 4mo
JenlovesJT47 💙❤️💙 4mo
PuddleJumper This is truly the darkest timeline. This has been the only thing on our news in the UK. There's a lot of anger over what may happen, what we may get pulled into, because a foreign leader is delusional and having a dick swinging contest against people that think he's a moron. 4mo
AnnCrystal @dabbe ✊🏼🐻🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲. 4mo
dabbe @AmyG OMG. Adding that one to the list: #emphirocheeto 🤣 4mo

TheBookHippie @5feet.of.fury EXACTLY 4mo
TheBookHippie @AmyG OMG 🤣 4mo
TheBookHippie @Aims42 as I rule I never watch him. 4mo
Aims42 @TheBookHippie It‘s a new rule for me, zero regrets 👍 I actually just followed an account on Threads that they put his “speech” transcript over his face and muted it so you didn‘t have to see or hear him but still knew what was being said 😆 That account got followed so fast by me lol Finding the balance between being informed and sane is very tricky 😵💫🥴🤢 4mo
TheBookHippie @Aims42 oh that‘s a good idea and yes I just read the transcript. And that makes me sick. 🤦🏻♀️😵💫 4mo
Aims42 @TheBookHippie I know, right? 🥴🤢🤮 4mo
AmyG @Aims42 @TheBookHippie We mute him. It‘s all bullsh** anyway. 4mo
Aims42 @AmyG 👍👍👍👍👍👍 it 100% is 4mo
TheBookHippie @AmyG it sure is. 4mo
