The dog is being wagged, "Iran will strike the US through its terrorist proxies"...

Not only are we going to war with Iran, but there are "chilling" reports from the FBI circulating that "Iran will strike the US through its terrorist proxies." What greater distraction can there be from the DOJ's coverup of Trump allegations in the Epstein's files, as well as his failing approval ratings right before the midterms?

Congress needs to rein him in, ASAP!

This is not an organic solution, meaning it will have pushback.

Trump definitely is hoping for a response that will justify his "Iran influenced the elections" meme, so he can interfere there.

Yada, yada, yada.

Just remain diligent, my friends.

I hate having these thoughts and pray that my fears don't become reality, but it is difficult not to go to a dark place in these times.

WE MUST find ways to up our game in the face of the onslaught they are putting in motion as they unleash their "do whatever it takes" to hold power schemes.

Just saying.

Be afraid.
You now have another Trump generated reason to live in fear.

I found the March 28 date in a search, but no other info.

I have been at the other 2 marches. They were peaceful..

For this one I will take some protective items with me like extra water. Make sure all skin is covered against possible tear gas. I do not have a gas mask. Wonder if an N95 gives some protection. Maybe have goggles on hand just on case.

Don't think for a second this hasn't crossed their minds (or maybe even factored into their decision making). I wouldn't be surprised if they false flagged one. Dont put ANYTHING past these motherfuckers.

tsf will do anything and everything to prevent the midterms from taking place. He'll authorize that false flag op as long as he doesn't have to fake being shot in the ear again. Well, only if the Secret Service female agents are "hotter". Having those "5s" pile on him made him uncomfortable.

Find your conscience, find your humanity, find your love of country, and stop this madman.
