Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

No words for this.

It will be an absolute mess. And then these jokers (& everyone else) will realize why no president has ever done that and Iran before. Not because we couldn’t but because they turn into major headaches as soon as you do. But… people voted for this.

Iran is sabotaging the strait of Hormuz. Anything done to Cuba and you’ll see a refugee crisis like no other that will directly impact South FL. Everything that float will find its way into the water.

The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months, finds the CBO: 'Our fiscal problems will not solve themselves' | Fortune "We need policymakers to come together, agree to reduce deficits ... and put our national debt on a downward sustainable path as a share of the economy."

Remember DOGE?

Yeah…. Fun times. Oh, and a scam.

Strait of Hormuz could be vulnerable to Iran retaliation. Here's what to know about the vital oil trade route. As U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities drive fears of retaliation, it remains to be seen whether Iran will try to block oil trade via the Strait of Hormuz.

Everything Trump has done is inflationary.

You screamed about eggs, inflation, gas, groceries, etc.

I think the problem is more income inequality but hey who am I to argue with the American people?

Apparently JD hasn’t gotten the memo we are now under authoritarianism and it will be how Trump says it will be and you’ll get in line.

Scott Macfarlane is a must read to keep up to date w the courts & DOJ.

Good for him. Why would he want to be associated with CBS. He’ll be fine.

Just the beginning bc authoritarians need a perpetual state of war.

For some of us - none of this comes as a surprise. But I pad attention to Trump’s brutal fumbling of COVID. Not only is he a lunatic in the grips of dementia, he’s also lazy.

Ali Khamenei’s son Mojtaba chosen as Iran’s new supreme leader Move could lead to escalation of war as Donald Trump has already called Mojtaba Khamenei an unacceptable choice

There goes the regime change justification.

Trump said he thinks he could end the war in June.

Didn’t say what year.

People like Erickson along w corporate media got us into this situation by normalizing & then rationalizing a criminally deranged lunatic into the presidency so he can sit this one out & let the adults discuss.

This is going to have to be dealt with. If you can prove a pardon had a corrupt purpose it should be pierced and then we should get rid of pardons altogether. It’s a relic from a different age.

This πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ is the result of implementing a program by fiat without vetting the plan & examining all the legal angles as well as kicking around the consequences of the decision. $700 M per month in interest on refunds of the tariffs struck down.
