None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all they’re really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Is it really a war?
Play along with Andrew Heaton's new game show.
So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.
Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.
And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?
So the FBI like never found Savannah Guthrie’s mom, huh?
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Why on earth are you guys trying to save the GOP’s bacon in an election year? They control everything! Let them figure it out! Just fucking criticize them!
What in the world? Why would the Democrats in DC give the Republicans a lifeline when they are sinking politically? WTAH man?
Until they clawback the hundreds of billions they budgeted for ICE/CBP - this is exactly what Trump, Miller and every single Congressional Republicans who voted for his monstrous, ugly bill stand for.
They own all of this.
The largest mass suicide to ever take place inside the U.S. was the Heaven's Gate cult in 1997. All 39 bodies were found wearing the same Nike shoes.
Simply in awe of this state of affairs
This administration……🤦♂️
The Trump White House is providing us with both precedent and a blueprint for excising X, Grok, SpaceX, Palantir and other fascist companies from the government once the next Democratic administration assumes power
Others have suggested he's actually a Nazi who's playing dumb to avoid incriminating himself. I'd believe that, too. Dumb. Nazi. Dumb Nazi. Whatever. Still a person worthy of a lengthy prison sentence.
This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
This is repulsive
feels like a bank shot in that it would use the power of the state to enforce social conformity AND hound teachers who would protect those kids out of the profession by threatening them with $100k fines if they fail to report which boys are growing long hair or which girls like trucks
If you think you are reporting on a "Trump policy" pronouncement, you are not.
There is no such thing.
This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.
It's gonna be the latter. And it will negatively impact Israel and the Gulf states, as well as any nascent Iranian resistance movement the CIA had been cultivating.
Even if the U.S. stops shooting, the damage has been done and this won't be over for a long time.
Israel is why I can’t see any way for Trump and Iran to simply call the whole thing off. Israel has fully committed to this war, presumably because it scored the coup of getting Big Brother Trump to commit to regime change. If Trump walks out now they’re stuck with a furious and undefeated Iran!
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Markwayne Mullin has never served in the military or law enforcement. He made a living in the construction industry and his only academic credential is an associates' degree in the trades. He's done MMA and he thinks that combat sports makes him the same as the military. It does not.
Um, yep, this says what needs to be said.
