🔥 🇪🇸 SPAIN — MAR ESPINAR: “Go lick boots at Mar-A-Lago… which Iranian women are thanking Trump? The mothers of the 160 girls murdered at a school?”
This @WSJ.com headline and few paragraphs are the story in a nutshell: the blame for this stupid, reckless, doomed war is all his, abetted by his circle Republican sycophants in the White House and Congress.
JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois, recently spoke about the U.S. regaining the world’s trust after President Trump leaves his office, the country’s relationship with Israel, the war in Iran and more. Read, watch or listen to “The Interview.”

wednesday: president trump tells g7 leaders iran is about to surrender, war is nearly over.

Hegseth this morning, now this rant from Jeanine. These people come unglued when you point out their obvious incompetence and demonstrable failures. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
🤔🤔🤔
two weeks before us marine expeditionary force—some 2,500 marines—now being deployed to iran arrives in the mideast.
this war (and global economic disruption) isn’t over soon.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
A US federal judge said that a 'mountain of evidence suggests that the dominant purpose' of the subpoenas was to 'harass [Jay] Powell to pressure him to lower rates', in a major blow to the justice department's criminal investigation into the Fed chair. ft.trib.al/ezvHaJT
Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Today’s headlines vs. what Trump is posting about:
ICYMI — Live Nation employees boasted about “robbing fans blind” 👇🏽🤔
Trump then stepped in and reached a “baffling settlement” with Live Nation, letting them keep their monopoly.
www.huffpost.com/entry/live-n...
As many as 5,000 additional U.S. Marines are reportedly heading for the Middle East.
“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moved into a home at Fort McNair traditionally reserved for the Army’s vice chief of staff. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others also now live in military housing.“
Try not to be so despised that you have to live behind barricades.
ICYMI, Netanyahu used his first press conference since this Iran war started to ask Israel's president to give him a pardon (the PM is on trial for corruption). Netanyahu said he would like to be "completely unencumbered"

"It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than under the Republicans" — Donald J. Trump, 2004
I guess even Trump is right about some things.

It's genuinely terrifying that my country is at war and I can't tell the difference between a press conference by the Secretary of Defense and a pro wrestler hyping an upcoming match.
This is not hyperbole. Hegseth is emotionally incapable and intellectually void and that is an important job.
Hegseth is achieving levels of dipshittery in these press conferences that makes it more and more difficult for Colin Jost to parody. At some point SNL will just play Hegseth.
The fact that Hegseth feels the need to attack the press after every question shows how deeply insecure and unhinged he is. His TV studio with soft lighting, his makeup, hype videos, barring photographers from briefings - his sole obsession is how he is portrayed to the public.
He's right. There is no history of air power alone defeating a nation. For regime change, or even to dismantle their nuclear assets, we're going to have to put boots on the ground against a nation of 90 million people.
It's tens of thousands of dead Americans or this war is shit.
This war is shit.
Netanyahu: “These achievements are increasing the status of Israel as a superpower… We will reach the kingdom. We will make it to the return of the Messiah.” (Grok confirms👇🏽)
This is what your tax dollars are paying for.
CENTCOM:
Uh -
"I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”
".. Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today," Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social. "Iran's Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, .. their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth."
