Alanna Ubach on Peacock's Ted delivers an absolutely incredible comedic performance, just virtuosic. Every line delivery is a work of art. If this show was on Netflix she'd already have an Emmy.

When you commit murders while in the commission of an illegal act, such as the Iran War, they're "felony murders" and intent is no longer relevant to their conviction.

It was not a "mistake." It was a mass killing.

No, that he would accept the conclusion of an investigation. A thing he famously has never done unless the conclusion was "Trump was right."

Do you have any clip of Trump saying he will accept the outcome of the investigation? Or, as an alternative, a time in Trump's life when he accepted the outcome of any investigation when he did not like the outcome?

Imagine the paradise where there was one tactical error or mistake leading up to this war, instead of the entire lead up being just tactical errors and mistakes crawling all over each other in a hideous swarming mass like a Rat King.

He's betting that if we keep taking casualties eventually he'll get people to rally around the flag.

Maybe! He's gotten away with dumber shit than that somehow! But it's at least POSSIBLE that people will levy SOME blame on the guy who started an illegal war with zero forethought or planning.

Local police chief proudly informs citizens, wary of having their houses egged, that they have found several dumpsters full of discarded empty egg cartons, and the dumpsters have been flattened by the Police Department's state of the art steamroller.

NY Times: "Live Updates: After Global Economy Shudders, Trump Zigzags on Whether War Is Nearing End
The president told reporters at a news conference in Florida that the fighting is β€œgoing to be ended soon” but added that the U.S. would strike Iran harder if needed."

New York Times scours thesaurus to unearth previously unattempted euphemisms for "dementia."

That's why I include at least one typo in every post. Not the other reason.

When this shows up in the movie it's going to be a real groaning-at-how-over-the-top-it-is moment.

The entire administration could stand up and sing in unison "there won't be a draft." It's meaningless, and Trump will start a draft if someone tells him it'll help the midterms. Treating this administration's statements as meaningful is like saying you should always respect the Wallet Inspector.

I follow your point: a close reading of Leavitt's statement leaves open the possibility that by "Everything is on the table" she is talking about boots on the ground but NOT the draft. Maybe!

But it's irrelevant, since Trump does not care what anyone, including himself, has said, promised, or sworn

There will be a draft. It's irresponsible to suggest there won't be. Sending young Americans to their death is basically the entire point.

The guy who campaigned on never going to war and then started the Iran war without so much as informing Congress he was doing it will absolutely start a draft of young Americans as soon as he remembers that's a thing he can do.

Withheld Jeffrey Epstein files with accusations against Trump released by justice department The Department of Justice said the released files had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative" and inadvertently not published.

Pretty big story today as the sitting President has been accused by what the FBI called a credible witness of raping a child, in documents illegally hidden and then finally released by the FBI.

Let's see where this news is on the New York Times homepage!

In twenty years every political catastrophe across the globe will have a direct line of causation to this administration and Trump will be too dead to tell everyone how great it all is, actually, the very best, better than ever before.
