"Too Much and Never Enough", 2020

"Donald has, in some sense, always been institutionalized, shielded from his limitations or his need to succeed on his own in his own world. Honest work was never demanded of him, and no matter how badly he failed, he was rewarded in ways that are almost unfathomable."

Ya...they are coming to help us out...

Skip the naming. Just leave.

A late thanks today. Thanks for the links. Take a break if you can, I don't see this ending soon. We need you.

"War, in this context and in the pursuit of peace, is necessary," Hegseth said. "Which is why each day, on bended knee, we continue to appeal to heaven. To almighty God's providence..."

Where we are, and God is not coming.

Save this. Share it. Spread the word.

My office officially launched a new portal with Governor Healey to report violence and unlawful ICE activity here in MA.

This will help us keep track of incidents for potential legal action, help us gather data, and connect victims with resources and support.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

He should do what the Kennedy Center guy did.

Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Trump "Truth": Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

"War, in this context and in the pursuit of peace, is necessary," Hegseth said. " Which is why each day, on bended knee, we continue to appeal to heaven. To almighty God's providence..."

Unfortunately, many in this administration are waiting for God to solve the problems.
Thanks for all you do.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Awesome! So glad they received the amazing recognition they deserve by someone with ethics and talent. Bravo!! 🙌 👏 🙌

In war, truth is the first casualty.

I feel comfortable saying I won't live to see a group of people leading our government who display this combined level of arrogance and incompetence

Ahhhhh...this regime HATES our service members (before, during, and after enlistment).

I applaud your patience and calm and courage! Keep at it. You have all my support. I would've liked every post, but you get the idea!

A man threatened me at my town hall last night. I want to tell you exactly what happened. 🧵

Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary Unit to Middle East By Lara Seligman The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to two U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved a request from U.S. Central Command, responsible for American forces in the Middle East, for the expeditionary unit, typically consisting of up to 2,500 Marines, the officials said. The move comes as Iran's attacks on the strait have paralyzed traffic through the strategic waterway, disrupting the global economy, driving up gas prices and posing a major military and political challenge for President Trump. A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment.
