The photos of Trump golfing were published one day before a Pentagon official confirmed to The Washington Post
6/ When asked whether Americans should be worried about being attacked on U.S. soil, the president stated, βI guess," adding, βBut I think theyβre worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things."
5/ The interview resurfaced after Trump was seen playing golf on Sunday, March 8, three days after a Time cover story titled "Trump's War" was published on Thursday, March 5.
During the interview, Time correspondent Eric Cortellessa questioned Trump about the details of the unfolding war with Iran.
4/ playing golf,β he continued. βI feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.β
3/ taking this good manβs life,β he told the outlet. βI was playing golf β I think I was in central Texas β and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, βItβs just not worth it anymore to do.β β
βI donβt want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief

Two Presidents A Tale of War And Golf:
Basic Decency VS Callous Disrespect
A 2008 interview with former President George W. Bush has resurfaced after President Donald Trump chose to play a round of golf amid the Iran-Israel-U.S. war.
In a May 2008 White House interview with Politico, Bush said
1/
Trump sounds so deranged, frenzied, and dangerously unbalanced on Iran that every Republican refusing to say it publicly is drifting toward something that looks a lot like criminal negligence.
Bartenders have gone to prison for enabling one drunk driver.
Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan X.com Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.
billions wasted on an illegal war, but at least Marco Rubioβs shoes donβt fit. so thereβs that.

βI didnβt vote for THIS,β say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.
Itβs a nightmare vision.

Funny how βacceptable costsβ like sky-rocketing gas prices...always seem to come out of ordinary peopleβs pockets. Nothing says "leadership" like making your commute more expensive and calling it "vision."

A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran⦠while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, walks to a closed door briefing on the Iran war before the Senate Armed Services Committee at the Capitol Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Washington.
Senate Dems letter to Trump: βWe request Rubio & Hegseth immediately appear under oath - in public hearings - to answer questions the American ppl have about the goals, scope, & end game of this war β explain your actions to the American ppl whose sons & daughters are on the front lines of this warβ
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greeneβs deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fullerβs 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
Mary Trump: βFor Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
Trump is keeping his "options on the table" amid the escalating conflict in Iran, according to professional liar Karoline Leavitt.
He used his wealth and family's access to get out of Vietnam, but he has no problem sending your kids into war.

βIn my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,β β Sen. Richard Blumenthal
Gulf countries are shutting down oil and gas production as a result of the US-Israeli war on Iran, but it's not just their energy infrastructure that is currently held hostage to Iranβs retaliatory missiles and drones: food and water are, too. www.middleeasteye.net/news/threats...
It isn't working. The walls continue crumbling.
Look at this photo carefully.
Mikaeil Mirdoraghi. Third grade.
Waving goodbye to his mother before school.
She, and he, thought he'd be coming home.
That school is now rubble.
Mikaeil is gone.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
His name should be remembered.
F*ck the demons who killed him.
A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # βRevolt Against the Modern World,β a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) π§΅

πReps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Greg Landsman of Ohio and Juan C. Vargas of California just voted with Republicans to support Trump's illegal Iran war.
They get the John Fetterman award for cowardice under fire, and will be awarded blood-stained hoodies for their gutlessness.
