The Trump Administration of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

It has been 20 yrs since North Korea nuclearized. And to date it has accrued 50-100 warheads. Does anyone believe Iran can create 30-40 warheads in a year? And no test history? Ridiculous. We are in the most foolish war ever - & that’s saying something after the Iraq invasion under Bush the Stupid.

I agree. Also ever notice that lots of us born in the 50’s are named Barb?
Must you lump all of us together? Please find another epithet ? Virtually every human I protest with at least twice a week is older than dirt. That’s what I’m calling myself this week). I’m a 1950 ‘boomer’. We aren’t all brain dead, protested Vietnam w Phil Ochs, Iraq, still here. Lots of us

Indeed. Even if this war was necessary at this time, we don't have the moral leadership required to prosecute such a war. We have a highly immoral, corrupt, and incompetent president who just wings it and cosplays commander-in-chief.
I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
This is what happens when you vote for a pedophile. Shit gets darker and darker. Now MAGA y’all have blood 🩸 on your hands!

Trump is withholding billions in federal funding to punish opponents, coerce, block funds from “sanctuary”cities, remake programs & impose his views. His targets have repeatedly sued to stop him & courts repeatedly rebuke him — only for him to try again and again.

The FBI sadly has the most unserious, corrupt, and incompetent leadership in its history.
Our FBI has less credibility than the National Enquirer.
That's where we're at.
Is it because our oil reserves are empty?
Trump slaughters Americans (and persons) without so much as a shoulder shrug. Perhaps regime change is needed here first?
Even if the war ends fast, “normal” won’t fully return. Trust and relationships are slow to rebuild, and that shows up as less trade, less cooperation, and more expensive risk management.
I'm not quite sure what to call this — a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.
It's my attempt to explain the economics of war — economic theories of how and why war occurs — and to use that framework to better understand our current moment.

A pretty great conversation with Ed Elson and @katie0martin.ft.com about what financial markets can tell us at critical moments, and what they're telling us about the war in Iran and America's place in the world. youtu.be/Jr7X0tlOl1k?...
So no one —still— in Trump’s inner circle can explain to him that prices do not fall greater than 100%? This is not higher math with Greek symbols. WTF? The Elvis Syndrome is firmly in place in the Trump regime.
Now, a major issue here is that the state of USN mine countermeasure capabilities is... not good. As you might have seen, the last of the old Avenger-class was shipped out of the Gulf in *January*. Something which once again is very much on brand for the complete lack of long-term planning by Trump.
