Why Donald Trump Doesn't Care What You Think About the War (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/03/why-...

The guy who said "War is the health of the state" obviously didn't live long enough to experience war under Donald Trump.

"We used an AI to do this" is increasingly a way of saying, "We didn't want to do this in the first place and we don't care if it's done well."

Knowing what I know about Ann Coulter, I think she's upset because (a) we haven't executed all the immigrants, including the legal ones, and (b) we're fighting a war in alliance with Jews.

I don't know, but I'd say the chances go up about 20% if Fox shows him polling at a mid-30s approval rating. (The last Fox poll had him at 43%; his lowest was 41% in November.) A CNN poll below 30% could also do it. (His last one was 36%.)

California's experiment in trying to build a Nordic-style safety net on a Norquist-style tax system is not working and I don't think it's responsible for gubernatorial candidates to call for taking it to the next level

The irony is that Bari Weiss (who has said that Ellison will give her control of CNN) thinks she's a believer in objective journalism, so CBS News hasn't become pure GOP propaganda so far. Weiss might make CNN anti-liberal without making it pro-Republican like Fox.

one of the things i learned at media matters is how little so much of the left tries to make noise. mmfa had a whole bunch of comms people on staff and we were able to insert ourselves in the news very early. it was clear mmfa was actually making an effort and -- in my opinion alone - others werent

"His hand firmly on the wheel as well as on the throttle setting" might be the most homoerotic thing any Cabinet member has ever said.

A lot of insufferable people are learning, after it's too late, that logistics aren't actually "woke."

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

The best way to see the current moment is that Trump started the Iran war in a fit of self-soothing with the goal of regime change. He quickly scrapped regime change because it’s hard and it jacked up gas prices. The new war aim is to keep oil under $90 a barrel.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Josh Marshall had a pretty astute take on Trump as that friend with BPD, enabled by a media that treats each Trump-created crisis as an individual event rather than an increasingly dysfunctional pattern. I think about that when I see polling like this.

It is amazing that 39% is the floor on every poll for anything awful that Trump does.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site The strike on an Iranian elementary school killed at least 175, many of them children, raising questions as to whether the military’s use of AI-enabled targeting was a factor.

Why don't they just buy a pair of the same shoes in their real size and tell Trump they're the shoes he bought for them? They're as slow-witted as he is.
