On the ten year anniversary of President Trump's Golden Escalator announcement, we must consider how the movement will endure when he is no longer there to hold it together.
Sorry, Arynne, we signed up for no more wars of choice. When the US attacks Iran tomorrow, he will have destroyed his presidency and the new GOP coalition. Netanyahu has been telling us Iran is going have a nuclear weapon real soon since 1993. We don't buy it anymore. The DNI testified not a month ago that Iran's nuclear program was paused and that if they chose to resume it, it would be more than a year before they could have a nuclear weapon. And not to get into too many details, but enriched uranium does not get them a nuclear weapon. A uranium bomb (like "Little Boy") is not deliverable on any platform Iran has. What they need is a breeder reactor to make plutonium. They do not have one of these. Getting one would be the "red line" not enriching uranium.
There are a million different words you could’ve chosen besides the R word here. It’s a slur against people with intellectual disabilities, dehumanizing, and (now) outdated. Check out Spread the Word to End the Word and please consider the harm this language perpetuates.
