It's not even in the Western Hemisphere. This administration is laying claim to everything. How very sustainable.

So great that MAGA did everything possible to kneecap the electric-vehicle market in the US, while doing everything recklessly possible to ramp up the cost of fuel.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

I sometimes think that if a democratic president had had a year like this, the GOP would invent more congressional seats just so he could lose the midterms even harder.

An allegation of blackmail, from the early 1980s. And so many banking transactions. What were his modi operandi?

I'd have have thought you'd be excited about the deployment of entrenching tools to gain access to the nuclear facilities they'd previously totally eradicated

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:

It shouldn’t take a genius to understand that but apparently it still needs to be said so the people in office hear it.

When the people with the experience and institutional knowledge are removed, the country loses the relationships, training, and judgment that keep the system working.

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
