Really, does it matter about the truth to his cult followers? Does it matter that he campaigned on "NO WARS" and "I will bring peace between Ukraine and Russia,"? Does it matter? His words are twisted and turned and white washed by every single MAGAt, every corporate news mogul.

He gave enough warning to Iran for them to move the nuclear bomb making capabilities. So does the truth really matter at all or accountability when it comes to this horrible excuse for a human being, and more concerning, his enablers?

Truth? MAGA suffers from fantastical illusory truth effect. (AI/ML-assisted observation)

MAGA is fracturing over this as we write. Many remember that promise and are furious. We need to encourage that.

Somewhere else in Iran? They may not be able to build a nuclear bomb yet, but dirty bombs are well within their means. The "Poor Man's Nuke" would be almost as devastating.

Brilliant Michael! The other thing that floored me was when Trump tweeted out to the Iranian people to stand up and overthrow their government! WHAT????? Who does that?? So incredibly UN-Presidential, and incredibly inappropriate? The President of the United States encouraging the people of another country to overthrow their leaders? Seriously? We all feel the same about the Iranian government. The people are NOT all happy with their leaders! But to have the audacity to say such a thing---in a TWEET? OMG. WTF? We, the American people need to stand up and not overthrow our government, but everything we can to LEGALLY do it. There are ways. We, THE PEOPLE, do have powers to do this. It takes courage, it takes determination, it takes PARTICIPATING in this thing we call democracy. Too many don't. And they do so foolishly, and at the costs of so much.

FOREIGN POLICY, BY TWEET, should be enough to stand up and say ENOUGH. I'm with you! Let's keep going. We must. We can.

Good morning Michael. Why oh why can't they just impeach this moron. There is a growing list of crimes he has committed against the country, the Constitution! I know why if course, because we have leaders who fear him. WHY THE HELL! He's full of hot air. He's one of the the most illiterate people I have ever had to listen to. The vomit that comes out of the poor excuse of a mouth of his is disgusting. For the sake of the world, impeachment proceedings please!

Congress is controlled under a Christian Coalition, Nazi-Confederate, MAGA, Tea Party, Military Complex, Republican control. Elections have consequences. FAFO!

I think the truth does matter.

If I know the truth and you know the truth we pass it on to family and friends and they pass it on to family and friends and hopefully mainstream media passes it on after reading Cohen, Parnas, Nance and many others then the resistance will grow.

Thank you Michael for working so hard and persistently. The truth will prevail.

All comes down to a very small, pathetic man beating his chest. You're one of the few in media/public spotlight actually calling him on his ego-driven warmongering.

Feels like I'm back in Bush's Administration with Iraq. It's now 2025 and still no mass weapons of war. That was a Republican President also. Coincidence?

This post by Michael Cohen was not only insightful, but put together in an analytical framework which compels people, both Republicans and Democrats, to think about the implications of the current administration‘s action to bomb Iran. I previously posted that I shared Michael Cohen‘s live Substack with many of my family members, friends and relatives, but I did not get the response that I was looking for. I am sending this post to the same people, and I’m quite sure I will get a more positive response.
