BOROWITZ: Now that Kristi Noem has been consigned to the gravel pit of history, let’s take one last look at her finest achievement as governor of South Dakota: the state’s anti-drug slogan that she approved. (I swear this is real.)

THEY LOVE SAYING "RESPECT THE TROOPS," RIGHT UP UNTIL A MARINE STANDS UP AND SAYS, "NO ONE WANTS TO DIE FOR ISRAEL." THEN SUDDENLY THE SAME PEOPLE SCREAMING ABOUT "PATRIOTISM," ARE THE ONES PUTTING HIM IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN ARM.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.

Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.

We do not want another forever war.

I agree completely with RFK Jr: Republicans should ban coffee and donuts. Have at it. Be my guest. I can't see any way that would be a problem for Republicans. Good luck!

Shia Muslims make up 95% of Iran.

They make up almost 40% of the entire Middle East.

Trump wasn’t the first POTUS gutsy enough to consider assassinating the Ayatollah.

He was the first POTUS dumb enough to do it.

Especially without a plan to handle the blowback.

What if we just used ICE logic for the Epstein Files?
Just round up anyone who was remotely mentioned or connected and keep them in concentration camps until we can figure out if they actually committed a "crime" or not? We can just snatch anyone who even looks or sounds like they might hurt children and throw them in there too.

Just a reminder that the Defense Secretary overseeing this war is a drunk with a glam squad on speed dial.

While they make this all about the death of one man, let it not be lost that a school of girls and teachers were killed because two wealthy and corrupt countries want regime change, more money, and new real estate.
