Thatβs a rare downbeat note from Kudlow.
Thatβs a rare downbeat note from Kudlow.
In effect, Trump has raised oil prices for Putin with the war in Iran. And America paid $90 billion and US lives to give that windfall to Putin.
Debacle: Hegseth cosplaying as a warrior with real soldiers instead of plastic ones. $90 billion pissed away. Money better spent on Americans and Ukraine.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
πΊπ¦ Politico: Sources said that after IMF loan is approved, Ukraine should have enough budget funds until early May to last and fight.
This gives the EU time to resolve the issue of Hungary's veto on a β¬90 billion loan for Ukraine. The bloc can work on this issue after the elections in Hungary.
Thatβs whatβs so shocking about some generals talking about a holy war. Instead, they should by following Mark Kellyβs lead about refusing illegal orders.
This may not be a popular or patriotic take, but I wonder if our troops are being forced to fight a war they know is morally wrong, illegal, unconstitutional. And it is all of those. This goes to the generals and commanders as well. I sure as hell wouldnβt risk my life for the Psychopath In Charge.
Weak, prissy little pearl-clutcher Lindsey Graham, in the week Trump and Israel bombed hospitals and slaughtered schoolgirls in Iran, gleefully gloating, "weβre going to blow the hell out of these people.β One of the most repugnant sights on tv this week and, these days, that's saying a lot.
WOW .. gotta hand it to Trump and Netanyahu. Start an illegal war with Iran, assassinate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to topple the regime, watch him be replaced by his son, Mojtaba Khamenei. Epic regime-change fail for Don and Bibi. It's like a war run by Beavis and Butthead, but a whole lot stupider π€‘
"If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.".. (quote Tony Benn).. (cartoon Dave Whamond)
I like the way some countries have Crisis of Confidence procedures that automatically trigger a vote for new government. WE NEED THAT HERE! We'll never be safe from GOP majority in government.
Trump to lift some sanctions on Russia now that they are helping kill Americans.
WAR..

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didnβt back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!
Iβm both, such a waste of human lives and then money we could use to improve lots of lives. Makes you wonder what the fuck have they been spending all this money on? Our military budget is 1 trillion and Chinaβs is 220 billion they are the second in spending.
Iβm not sure how I could possibly be any more furious or sick over this whole goddamn thing.
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
And this is all he had to replace Noem.
Who elects boneheads like this to the Senate? What is wrong with American voters? Couldnβt the state party come up with a better candidate?
I cannot reconcile myself to a world where innocent lives are offered up on the altar of old men's hunger for power. The men who started this are closer to the end of their lives than the beginning and yet it is the young, those with everything still ahead of them, whose lives are being taken.
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? β¬οΈ
How many times can trump fart in #MAGAt's faces before they realize it doesn't smell like roses? There IS a pandemic of stupidity in America and it is dragging our reputation, our Constitution and our humanity into their gutter. #MAGAIsADisease
Greetings from Kyiv
and warcoffee.
Itβs a little colder today.
Calm.
Cloudy.
With snow leftovers on the ground.
When US foreign policy is in the hands of the dumbest American.
For most people, stable employment is disappearing and being replaced by precarious, low-paid work. Stability is a thing of the past now. Over 2 billion workers worldwide have no job security or benefits.
Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β on steroids.
The Chiefs of Staff should be refusing to invade Iran.
