Starting to think there might be a reason that previous administrations tried very hard to avoid war with Iran

β€œThink about what this world would look like if you didn't have Donald Trump as the president” should be the Dem midterm message.

Really enjoyed the book, although the ending did go on a bit.

90s nostalgia is over, we're going back to the 1970s, kids.

Filling up your gas tank on payday and either installing a lock on the gas-cap cover or learning how to siphon without poisoning yourself.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkeyβ€”but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprusβ€”but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

En ce 8 mars, il faut rappeler qui vote quoi Γ  l'AssemblΓ©e nationale. D’aprΓ¨s notre analyse inΓ©dite des 194 amendements et propositions de lois depuis 2022, le Rassemblement national fait partie des groupes politiques les plus hostiles aux droits des femmes.

Opera is not dying, TimothΓ©e, it's thriving. In Europe alone, 14m a year attend (2.5m under 25s) worth €10bn. Since 2000 La Traviata had 30,000 performances. In its lifetime it's been seen by half a billion people and recorded 291 times. Check back in 180yrs to see how Marty Supreme is doing, yeah?

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph β€” but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Ok, so the war will go on as long as TFG is in power. Unconditional surrender? Iran? How can the administration be so uninformed?

Oh yeah, those guys. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, β€œI guess.”

Ah, he did go to school in Watertown while being farmed out to another family. And he was arrested in Barnstable (said with my best Boston accent) at 16! Ok, I get it.

He’s not from Mass., is he? I thought he was from Virginia or something.
