Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"
“Threats from Iran have bottled up oil in the Persian Gulf, & suppliers are shutting down operations because their storage facilities are full. The average price of gas in the US has jumped nearly 60 cents a gallon since Trump launched attacks against Iran.”

Epstein Accountant Spills Bombshell Payout to Alleged Trump Victim

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Trump wasn't shot.
Epstein didn't commit suicide.
Donald Trump raped and assaulted children.
The “cahoots”?
Christ, she’s fucking stupid. 🤦🏻♂️
Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
“Trump was among the dignitaries who attended the dignified transfer returning the remains of the six US soldiers killed in the military action against Iran to the US for burial. At the transfer, Trump wore a white USA baseball cap for sale in his campaign store.”

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

If it weren’t bad enough that Lindsey Graham is talking about the wholesale destruction of Iran-including the entire population
Consider that he advocates for this homicidal path with such deranged, vitriolic glee
Like a psychopath who gets off on genocide
In other words, like Trump
Remember when fascist Leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut, when asked about the role of internal law, said, "I think we're just going to kill people"? That was the voice of every conservative, Republican voter. All the gun nuts, would-be terrorists, terrorists, etc.
I think its probably bad we just treat this level of unhinged disconnected from reality as kinda normal in our political discourse
also I think its bad for humanity that "genocide" has been stripped of any meaning and is just an insult now
feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.
Important article. should be gift link. www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...
People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.
Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
Absolutely. The Pentagon is full of career professionals who are more than qualified to handle the current shitshow.
The problem is that the political appointees largely aren’t listening to them right now.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo.
Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.
Mullin: “This is war.”
Raju: “You concede this is war?”
Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.”
Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.”
Mullin: *stammer
This man has no business being near foreign policy in any way, shape, or form. He should’ve stuck to being an Oklahoma business owner and left it at that. He’s so out of his league.
Jesus isn’t gonna come walking on water to save you from this one, comrade.
The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:
Fox viewers still have no idea Trump wore campaign merch
We wanted to know what will happen next in Iran. So we talked to three Joe Rogan fans at an Arby's in Harrisburg.
Take your hat off, asshole.
Iran’s Foreign Minister says Trump derailed a potential path to de-escalation. He says Iran signaled openness to lowering tensions but Trump’s actions “almost immediately killed” that opportunity, warning if he seeks escalation, it’s “precisely what our Armed Forces have long been prepared for.”
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
Everything Trump said would happen if we voted for Kamala Harris is happening now.
Biggest I told you so in the history of this wretched country
