Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

She's talking as if we didn't all see her standing and applauding at the State of the Union when Trump was talking about war.
She's been very consistently and vocally opposed to war in Iran. https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/icymi-in-floor-speech-warren-slams-trumps-war-in-iran-exposes-10-ways-big-beautiful-bill-increases-costs
Trump didn't say shit about going to war with Iran before doing it. It's probably the most impulsive thing he's done as president, (so far), which is why we've heard several excuses for why he did it and why these excuses he gives seem to contradict each other.
It was definitely naive and unnecessary for her to stand and applaud in hindsight, but keep in mind Trump had been in the middle of negotiating peace talks. Warren (and literally everyone else) did not know that he was going to just suddenly pivot away from the ongoing peace talks and try to kick off armageddon to avoid facing accountability.
She, like most Democrats, are vocal about lots of things, then their actions tell a different story.
I saw that too. I want to like her, but shit like that sours me to anything she does/says.
That's the problem with most of them, we've heard what they say, then watched what they did. And rarely do the 2 align
I wonder if she's making this up for theatrics. She should give an explicit detail
