#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.
RowReads1 I can‘t 🤦🏻♀️ 1d
Susanita Thank you for your attention to this matter. 1d
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. 🤯🤬🤯 1d

Eggbeater Congress is supposed to declare wars, aren't they? I feel sick. I don't want any humans to be hurt. 1d
Cupcake12 There are no words 1d
Prairiegirl_reading This is just so sickening. 1d
Aims42 😔💔 I have no words, I‘m speechless and sick to my stomach 1d
Librarybelle It‘s horrifying 1d
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? 😤 1d
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) 1d
Eggbeater My books are sometimes political, and I need to know that I'm not alone right now, so thank you. 1d
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. 1d
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. 1d
MemoirsForMe I appreciate you letting us know. I‘m speechless. 🤯😩 1d
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) 1d
Jari-chan Can't put a Like at this post, because I really don't like what's happening... 😩 1d
5feet.of.fury Reminds me of Bush saying Iraq had wmds to justify the invasion. This is atrocious. So much for “the Peace President” 1d
LiseWorks Wow! I knew he couldn't help himself 1d
julesG I have no words. Just letters. TF? WTAF? 1d
AnnCrystal I expected it, yet couldn't believe it. I'm just going to say the word that needs to be said, “Impeach!“ 😢🙏🏼. 1d
Bookwormjillk I intentionally let my phone die last night. This is just horrifying. 24h
AmyG I have many thoughts on this. God help us all. 23h
Bookwomble 😥 21h
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. 20h
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. 🥺 20h
dabbe @Aims42 Thank you for this. I needed it. ♥️♥️♥️ 19h

dabbe @LiseWorks As @Aims42 said, no one came to his horrific birthday parade, so he's taking his anger out on the whole world. 😤 19h

JenlovesJT47 💙❤️💙 16h
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. 16h
AnnCrystal @dabbe ✊🏼🐻🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲. 15h
dabbe @AmyG OMG. Adding that one to the list: #emphirocheeto 🤣 15h
