Thune is 100% complicit in this Iran catastrophe along with Mikey Johnson and the ENTIRE republican party

This needs to be pounded by Democrats. FatAss is low hanging fruit now. The republicans have rubberstamped this asshole into thinking he's Napoleon. None of this< NONE OF IT would've happened without a lazy grifting complicit and fully corrupt republican party. Those making news because they are voicing rare disagreement are just doing that, paying lip service to try and look concerned. They will do nothing to reign this madman in. They love it. Their all getting filthy rich from it.

Its REPUBLICANS that are the disease. FatAss is just a symptom. Please emphasize the republican complicity!!!!!!!

Some of us voted with the Republicans and are going to vote with them on legislation they pushed and are pushing, including the merging of Israel and U.S. military.

Lipstick on a pig originated. Only in this case, it would be putting the pig on lipstick.

This is theirs and we should keep reminding everyone all through the midterms and into 2028. If Trump's ceasefire deal goes through the war will have cost over half a trillion dollars. And Trump and family have made fortunes off of insider trading related to the war.

Without ratification, no taxpayer money will flow to Iran.

A number of republicans have pushed back against the costs, which would seem to be the opposite of complicity- we will see if their spines hold out.

So, this deal is far from a done deal.

What republicans are complicit in is allowing the war to happen in the first place.

Fans elevate their team's quarterback to god-like status. Some buy into it and end up being head cases. I'm looking at you Aaron Rogers.
