The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million.
We're dropping the equivalent of 10 hospitals a day on Iran.
Trump decided this war was a better use of taxpayer money than giving Americans health care. It’s not.
If your own words cause you “reputational damage,” I think the correct legal implication is “aww, too bad.”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
(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.
I just assumed Trump and Hegseth had a giant “Mission Accomplished” banner printed before they even dropped the first bomb.
For decades the major sports leagues were adamant their games were sacred and could not be allowed to be tainted by even a hint of gambling. Right up until legislation passed enabling them to get “a piece of the action,” at which point the leagues instantly started pushing it like a drug dealer.
Let’s see Trump and Hegseth stand on the deck of one of those cargo ships going through the Strait. See how confident they really are about these statements.
💯 this!!!
Well, Trump is certainly consistent in his hirings and appointments. In his administration, the primary qualification for any position is that you must be totally unqualified for that position.
When Dems finally regain control of the Federal government, they need to pass a law making it a crime (potentially punishable by jail time) for elected or appointed government officials to knowingly make false public statements regarding government activities.
🤷🏼
Why are the networks giving Trump live airtime for another rambling, pointless rant? He is not giving an actual “update” on anything but, instead, lying out of his ass.
Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.
The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.
Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.
Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...
Of course they must have. Wait, video games don’t count? Then, no.
It is one of the laws of physics that a sleeping dog will expand to fill all available space. It’s science, you can look it up. 🐶
Trump is a sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder, low intelligence and early-to-mid stage dementia. Hey Siri, who is the very last person we should put in control of the world’s largest military force and the launch authorization codes for nuclear missiles?
“Hey, nice country you got there. Be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it after you failed to pay our protection money.” The U.S. is being run by a B-movie crime syndicate.
"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box
Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.
President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:
“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”
Trump is a sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder, low intelligence and early-to-mid stage dementia. Hey Siri, who is the very last person we should put in control of the world’s largest military force and the launch authorization codes for nuclear missiles?
Says the sh*tweasel who helped put Trump in this position to begin with.
FL Bar: “Her conduct has been terrible, so we will be starting an investigation. Oh wait, we just realized she is a Republican, so we will not be investigating anything.”
