What if, & I'm just spitballing here, we could coordinate with Countries of the World on a Joint & Comprehensive Plan of Action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons? Perhaps we could also create a Treaty Organization of our allies in the North Atlantic to cooperate on military issues? 🤔
"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?
The acceptance of this open gutter racism is a cancer on our body politic. In a healthy system, this sort of statement would be career ending.
A more honest and accurate headline would be:
"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.
Pete Hegseth perpetually sounds like an angry teenager hopped up on Red Bull, Adderall and 18 straight hours on Call of Duty.
Arrest quotas
Palantir selected “targets”
No warrants
Random detainments
Despicable
The establishment is in full panic mode.
When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.
But I wonder if the negotiations were ever intended to get anywhere.
“We lie so brazenly just to show you again and again that we can do it with impunity and thus our power consolidates even more.”

The arrogance and stupidity, my God. Not only is Ukrainian counter-UAS effective, its costs a 1/10th as much.
what if the purpose of getting an education was to learn things and not creating a record of easily manipulated metrics used for future career placement

On some level I’m not sure my mind can quite grasp the raw stupidity of conducting a massive decapitation strike against Iran with no day two plan whatsoever, and then immediately finding yourself in a worldwide energy crisis with no off-ramp because you didn’t expect Iran to react
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.
He’s pandering to “Christians” who have misread the Bible or have watched too many brain dead “Left Behind” movies.
The 2024 election was fought about lots of things, but primarily about how inflation was still high & a HUGE problem for everyone. People, including prominent financial journalists, mocked you for pointing out that it was no longer high & certainly not permanent. It’s higher now & 🦗 in comparison.
it really just comes down to entitlement, they feel entitled to winning wars because they represent “western civilization” and theyre fighting against “shithole countries” and thats about as much thought as they put into it
War in the Middle East has left Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy in a domestic bind, presenting her with one of the biggest challenges of a previously stable tenure.
It is the obligation of everyone in the press who obsessed about Joe Biden’s mental acuity, & anyone who cares about the law & Constitution, to call for it or impeachment now. Probability of happening is irrelevant to merit.
Yes Linz was right & presidentialism was a grave mistake. But here we are.
Thankfully, no other president ever needed to.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too — and is simply lying to us about that fact right now.
This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.
Image showing Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump over a smoky city skyline. Text reads: “You can take the Ayatollah out of Iran, but you can’t take Trump out of the Epstein Files.”
Some receipts don’t disappear.
Neither do the Epstein files.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

I’m considering making it my life’s work from this point forward to make sure Hegseth is prosecuted for war crimes.
My deeply unpopular opinion is that Harris/Dems overperformed all the other “incumbents” & her campaign was just fine & mattered ~not one bit. It was “inflation” & racism/misogyny & misinformation that had absolutely nothing to do with her policies on Gaza or anything else.
