US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I'm not sure "There are probably very few mines in there" is the slam dunk he thinks it is.

NYT: U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says
Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

NYT: U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

Trump has known this for days but chose to lie about it. Because that’s what he does. That’s what he is.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Mass murder isn’t acceptable just because it happens under an American flag.

Trump avoids a clear description of what victory looks like in the Iran war so that he can declare "mission accomplished" no matter what happens.

ProPublica reports that senior Trump administration officials attended a summit of election deniers pressing for the president to declare an emergency and take over the midterms. Some of those figures now hold positions influencing federal election policy.

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: β€œThe buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."

How come "How are you going to pay for it?" is never asked about endless war?

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Trump thinks gas prices surging 50 cents is a β€œsmall price to pay” for his aimless and costly war on Iran and only β€œfools” would disagree.

Yes, Trump is calling you a fool for worrying about gas prices.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Iranian Hackers can end the war pretty quick if they access and release the Epstein files.

They may get the Nobel Peace prize Piggy is drooling over.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

We’ve already seen how Elon Musk helped buy a presidential race & then what he did with that power & access via doge especially the destruction of USAID & the resulting deaths of millions of people around the world.

Bush on why he quit golf during the war: β€œI didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”
