Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
"If it is true that the Israelis sold America a bill of goods and deluded American war planners into believing that killing the ayatollah would lead to regime collapse, then I don’t even know what to say."
Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"
Pretty much.
What a travesty.
(Also the Epstein Factor.)

Truly the dumbest person alive.
Narrator: Trump remains Putin's Puppet.
Meanwhile, Trump spent the day in Kentucky campaigning against the guy who got the Epstein files released.
Narrator: It won't happen anytime soon.
New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss
"The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."
$11 billion spent in just six days of war.
$38 trillion in debt.
Let's go the moon.
The markets ain't loving this war.
Donald Trump claimed the Iran war is already winding down with the U.S. prevailing, but on-the-ground reporting in Kuwait shows the conflict may be trending in the opposite direction. www.rawstory.com/iran-war-gul...
it strikes me that with every day the war continues and traffic through Hormuz does not resume,
a) it becomes all the more pressing for Trump to end the war, but also
b) it becomes harder for Trump to define the end to the war as a victory
The Strait of Hormuz is mined. I know that for a fact. How, you ask? Because Donald Trump says it isn’t. Trump lies as he breathes.
"...because I just don't know enough about it..."
Trump lives in an alternate reality. The Strait of Hormuz is closed and will remain closed because of his stupidity.
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
Oil price jumps despite deal to release record amount of reserves www.bbc.com/news/article...
What a friggin disaster.
🎯
When will Trump express responsibility for this catastrophe? WHEN?
He understands nothing, absolutely nothing. He is just simply and utterly stupid.
Thank you, President Zelenskyy.
We’re sorry our “President” is callous and indifferent with the lives of both our peoples. 😢
Operation Epic Failure! Is that a great name?
"He wants to be helpful," President Trump says regarding his conversation with President Putin and Iran, despite reports that Russia was providing intel to Iran on US military targets.
One day, we are going to find out what Putin has over him.
CNN’s Harry Enten:
Trump & GOP have a big freaking problem!
Milestone: Trump's net approval has now been underwater for a year. He has the worst net approval with indies at this pt in term 2 of any prez this century.
The effect: Dems have a very real chance of winning the Senate, not just House.
And it's only going to get worse for Republicans.
How dumb does one have to be, to think this moron should be president? He has no clue how anything works except MAYBE golf clubs and hotels. MAYBE. Not casinos, though.
