A war launched on a feeling, and one that will end on a feeling.
Gives that old MAGA "fuck your feelings" line a whole different sense.

I think they see the U.S. as a spent force and MAGA as the birthing canal to their techofeudalist network state future.

Trump post from March 7 on "Truth" Social that reads: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump post from March 14 on "Truth" Social that reads: Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
That's a tough walk-back. From "we don't need your ships, latecomer" to "please send ships."
On the bright side, this disaster comes in a midterm election year.
David Ellison in 2026: I'll have a slice of what they're having.
Bezos buying the Washington Post in 2013: I'm preserving the free press.
Musk buying Twitter in 2022: I'm saving freedom of speech
Both of them in 2024: Haha, suckers!
Tweet from @BrendanCarrFCC that reads: 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!
Quoted tweet from @RapidResponse47 that reposts Donald Trump post on "Truth" Social. It reads: 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
The FCC guy out there threatening broadcast licenses, too.
He landed the job of Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, which is somewhere under DNI Tulsi Gabbard on the org chart, I think.
I don't miss him on the ballot.
Would've loved to see the look on Joe Kent's face when that hire was announced.
Remember the Park51 community center that got billed on FOX News as "the mosque within a stone's throw of ground zero?" It's hard to take these people serious, but then a critical mass of them get elected to positions of power.
People defending Tuberville are adequately discredited by the fact that they're defending Tuberville.
A tweet from Heritage Foundation "economist" Stephen Moore on March 3 that reads: Oil spiked just 8% after Iran’s attack, not $80-$100 as predicted, because the U.S. is producing record-breaking 13.6M barrels/day. Thank God for “Drill Baby Drill.”
Graph showing prices for Crude Oil Futures, starting at $60/barrel in early February, rising to $75 on March 3, hitting $95 on March 9, down to $82 March 10, currently at $95.
Just a thought, but, what if Mullen would tell them to take off their face masks, drive their marked vehicles, and stop acting so shamefully they need to hide?
I think at one point Musk was trying to back out of buying Twitter and some tech bros and Saudis were like, no, buy this and you get to define reality for a hoard of halfwits. That's some real power. And make an AI agent while you're at it.
How is a desalination plant a military target? Didn't Trump claim we aren't attacking the Iranian people?

Well, I was a kid. I was a relatively good athlete, and a pretty good student, but I stuttered. Now, if I told you all earlier, when I was a kid, I had a cleft palate or club foot, none of you would have laughed, but it's okay to laugh at stuttering. I'm not being critical of you, but think about it. It's the one place where people think you're stupid. Oh, really? I'm hell of lot smarter than most of you. Well, all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small, makes you feel really small.

I think the real issue for him is that she didn't act as a heat shield for him. When Congress is asking pointed questions, his cabinet members are supposed to take the heat themselves and not ever say "Trump approved this" even (or especially) if he did.
I'm sure Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and all the other free speech absolutists are all over this, right?

That's a heck of a thing to say about JD Vance.
Picture of Trump on a Trump golf course with the hole flag at half mast.
He's having the hole flags lowered to half mast.
He seems like the kind of person who tried to build up a tolerance to lead.
The picture is distorted. That guy dated Debra Winger in the 80's.

Apparently, some are still going through immigration court and don't have a final deportation order, so CBP wants to hold them in extremely unpleasant conditions to encourage them to give up their legal appeals and volunteer for deportation.
Reality has a liberal bias.
