73 years old; pro-democracy. I hate Nazis and fascists. Fighting so my daughter and every young person can have decent lives. Putin is an existential threat. The price of housing is a national disgrace.

"Fortunate Son" by CCR was written by John Fogerty in about 20 minutes, fueled by rage over the unfairness of the Vietnam War draft. The song critiques how wealthy, well-connected families used their influence to protect their sons from combat, while working-class young men were sent to fight

I’m sure Trump anticipated all this and has a great plan because he’s a master strategist.

Trump told them very sternly not to do this in a Truth Social post so I’m shocked they would defy him like this. Maybe Iran doesn’t have an account.

Remember when Trump thought he had dirt on Macron’s sex life, not knowing the French have an official post for β€œPresident’s Mistress” which comes with a salary and a nice flat in the 1st arrondissement? I love the French.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

NEW: China is openly mocking the bizarre viral Trump White House prayer scene-and it's turned into a full-blown social media trend.
Across the country, bosses at small businesses and factories are gathering employees to parody the moment. Workers form circles, place their hands on each other's shoulders or heads, and "pray" for things like better sales, higher wages for every employee, and success for the company.
Videos of these mock "prayer circles" are now going viral across
Chinese platforms like Douyin and Weibo.
Trump is an international laughingstock.

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

🧡Easy for golf cart bro to say

"Mr. Trump has displayed growing frustration over how the war is disrupting the oil supply, telling Fox News that oil tanker crews should β€œshow some guts” and sail through the Strait of Hormuz."

Fox hasn’t been this ridiculous hour after hour since they ran with Trump’s election conspiracies in 2020-21 before they got sued and paid $737 million. It’s a jingoistic alternate reality custom designed for right-wing boomers.

This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

That's not Tricia, btw. That's Madison Sheahan, Noem's wildly underqualified Deputy, now running against Marcy Kaptur in OH. She ALSO was part of this grift.

It's really hard to understand how Tricia McLaughlin found time to steer her hubby a sweet propaganda contract, what with her non-stop lying (it may help that she told the same lies every time an ICE goon assaulted a protester).

But DailyWire describes she did!

Remember when the GOP and the MAGA movement was raising alarm bells about the rise of the "surveillance state"?
