Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

How about discharging your constitutional responsibilities by pulling the plug on POTUS’s illegal warβ€”the cause of the spiking gas prices.

This was an issue / concern in the 1980s… you know, back when Ollie North was selling Iran weapons.

Yes. Because it was a U.S.Tomahawk missile.

I’m not in the military and _I_ could have told you this. The people leading this war - as well as our military- are criminally negligent.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

TACOs With a Side of War Porn Despite his callous bluster, Trump is seemingly retreating.

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files.
Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life."

I know it's been said, many times, many ways, but this mad old prick has lost entirely all of his marbles at this point.

Go look up some of the shit he's been saying tonight.

Even by his own incredible low standards, he's an incoherent mess of jumbled illogical thoughts and half remembered events.

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.

Trump said the US has sunk 51 Iranian ships and now also has "inexpensive interceptors" effectively countering Iranian drones. He also confirmed the US is lifting certain oil-related sanctions to cut prices, saying they may not need to be reimposed.

Putin sends his greetings. #Iran

Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!

Rumor: Vikings are giving away their entire offense and their next 10 years of draft picks in exchange for one more year with Sam Darnold.
