Lloyd Blankfein on crypto: I can't figure out what it does. You can't buy anything with it. Its highest purpose is to pay ransoms and to extortionists.
I don't know why the US government would support something where you couldn't tell whether or not somebody was paying the North Koreans.
Bill Maher: Do you worry that the oil was headed to China?
Lloyd Blankfein: The Iranians will let the Chinese ships go through
Anthony Scaramucci: They know where the mines are. The Iranian ships are getting through.
Bill Maher: Iran has no air force, no missiles, and no Navy. Apparently they have something left to bomb... the Strait of Hormuz.
Lloyd Blankfein: I don't think it takes much effort to create an obstacle on a very narrow bottleneck.
Anthony Scaramucci: That was bad war planning.
Anthony Scaramucci: Something called Citizens United, where, since January of 2010, you're allowed to give unlimited money to the politicians. It's up eight times and 36% of the donations are coming from the top 0.1%.
Monopoly busting was done in the beginning, and we're not doing it anymore.
He is running for re-election as a Senator. That is a statewide office.
‘Moral rot’ or amorality is a perfect description of this administration. Trump danced to YMCA & is golfing again tomorrow while Sgt. Pennington’s family lays him to rest. I can’t put this level of white-hot anger into words. 🤬
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Marjorie Taylor Greene: This war is not something that the Americans voted for. We voted for no more foreign wars. We were told by many members in the administration throughout the campaign, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and others, that they believed that going to war with Iran would be a terrible idea.
He feels it, anyway.

There's no doubt, MAGA will go down in history as the dumbest, most ignorant cult post-Nazi Germany. 😳👇
8/ I wrote the following *before* the latest SSA whistleblower report. That report further illustrates the already obvious danger that the SSA-dependent “SAVE” voter purge system represents. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

As indicated in my updated summary of the “Save America Act,” the latest whistleblower report re: DOGE’s alleged compromise of SSA databases has dire implications for the Act, which requires that states submit their voter rolls to the DHS’s “Save” voter purge system that depends on SSA’s data. 1/
I don’t know any democrats who have slid to the right besides big donors and John Fetterman. The vast majority of the party has moved left.
It’s not just The Hague - which we aren’t a party to. It’s our own law as well. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
We aren't signatories at The Hague. Our officials can't be tried by the ICC. Congress would have to ratify the Rome Treaty. Doubt that'll happen.
We should all be very afraid of what this idiot president is willing to do to save his polling numbers, with the understanding that he was dumb and dangerous enough to start the war without realizing Iran would close the Strait. END/
