* ASKED WHETHER ANY NAVAL ESCORT WILL RESOLVE ISSUE OF TRANSIT IN HORMUZ, QATAR FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON SAYS A VIABLE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO STOP ATTACKS ON OUR ENERGY FACILITIES

Sorry I just threw up in my mouth brb
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
Discovery to be managed by Palantir
I sorta appreciate the tacit acknowledgment that, “no, no we can’t substantiate this claim in any real way …”
If the war can just get past the motion to dismiss, Iran will be forced to settle!
“Upon information and belief, Iran was planning to take over the entire Middle East”
- Donald Trump in a presser just now, using the legal language of every bullshit civil lawsuit he’s ever filed to justify waging war on a sovereign nation
The US and Israel are rogue states.

If we start the war, we target schools and freshwater facilities, and we out-murder the other side 38:1, what does that make us? Who wouldn’t hate us for this?
Bombing a desalination plant supplying freshwater to 30 civilian villages is absolutely depraved. Doing it to a country that has famously harbored *various* bioterrorism extremists who hate America for exactly these reasons is almost unimaginably reckless. Almost.
Few things are more terrifying to mediocre men than a woman with enough experience to know how completely unimpressive he is.
Prediction markets are the precursor to the hunger games.
No one could've foreseen this.

Which flights, exactly?
@AsstSecStateCA on X.com “The @SecRubio @StateDept urges Americans to DEPART NOW from the countries below using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks. Americans who need State Department assistance arranging to depart via commercial means, CALL US 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad) and +1-888-407-4747 (from the U.S. and Canada). ENROLL in step.state.gov to get the latest security updates from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.”
Security Updates for Americans in the Middle East (Updated March 2, 4pm EST) DEPART NOW VIA COMMERCIAL MEANS DUE TO SERIOUS SAFETY RISKS • Bahrain • Egypt • Iran • Iraq • Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza • Jordan • Kuwait • Lebanon • Oman • Qatar • Saudi Arabia • Syria • United Arab Emirates • Yemen Americans who need State Department assistance arranging to depart via commercial means can call us 24/7: +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad) and +1- 888-407-4747 (from the U.S. and Canada). 4:49 PM • 3/2/26
The state department put this notice out at 4:45pm TODAY. “Americans should depart now using commercial means.”
4 days into a war we instigated, knowing that Iran had, on multiple occasions and having little other leverage available, promised to retaliate against Americans and Allies within reach.
At least six US service members are dead and the US Embassy has been bombed, despite our own government confirming that Iran posed no nuclear threat for at least a decade and Iran being clear that if we attacked, they would retaliate.
How is this not at least Benghazi by orders of magnitude?
Also, these people aren’t just betting on outcomes. They’re actually driving them. The Army wrote about using Polymarket data as an important input to their analysis and decision-making process.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.
I disagree. I think Trump very much understands that keeping his friends’ secrets is 100% essential to his own success.
Fundamentally just a very degrading line of work to get on the horn with Donald Trump while he's at one of his little clubs, some shithead chiropractor's second wedding going on 50 feet away, and ask "so what did you have in mind there?" where the question concerns bombing a bunch of foreign kids.
What do I use to secure him I have not had success with straps in the past
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Well at least we’re all getting a case study in why a pattern of bad behavior makes you a national security risk - it’s not just that you’re willing to do bad things, it’s what you’ll be willing to do to protect your friends’ secrets.

Secretary of Warfighting Pete Hegseth will solemnly perform ten (10) pushups for every American soldier lost in this war.
Operation Epic Fury continuing the Hegseth department policy of using deeply aggressive sub fantasies as mission names
Dusting this one off again:
The biggest tell of the Iran invasion is that Trump didn’t talk to anyone about it beforehand. I don’t just mean getting approval, I mean, we have moved beyond the administration believing it needs buy in from anybody - even the base - to do anything. There are no checks left.
