You know what tho
If in the future there's an Iran-linked terrorist attack against the US, or if Iran get nuclear weapons, it will be Donald Trump's fault. But there will be immense social pressure against saying so, because while factually accurate, it'll be considered partisan, biased, and old news.

Here we go again.
Reminder that the CEO of Nike routinely tries to rig Oregon's gubernatorial elections to get Republicans elected.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams β cut by 90% by Hegseth β work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Weβve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. Thatβs such a bad thing. But you know whatβs even worse? Way, way too many people donβt care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.
The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

I mean, I moved from Ch'ville to NYC in 2002 b/c I'd lived downtown for the previous decade, and wanted a city where (a) I'd have access to a wider range of arts/culture, but (b) could also survive without getting a drivers license.
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Killing is fun.
So here we have the president deeming a lawmaker who has been mildly critical of him a traitor to the country.
Once again, just imagine Obama or Biden declaring some random congressman "disloyal to the United States of America," and the round-the-clock media freakout you would have seen.
Heard about Lord Sear. He was one of hip hopβs true characters and a radio legend. Iβve spent hundreds of hours listening to CM Famalam shows.

Donald Trump calls Thomas Massie a traitor for supporting the release of the Epstein Files.
Journalists need to start asking Trump what he is trying to hide.
A person close to Mamdani told @nataliekorach.bsky.social that Bari Weiss "doesnβt even have the dignity to pretend to be unbiased."
"The lack of journalistic integrity, and blatant hostility, could make Fox News blush," the person added.

Heathcliff stands on a front yard holding a detonator connected to some dynamite with a long cord. As he pushes the plunger down on the detonator, the dynamite explodes with a puff of smoke and a loud BOOM.

Thomas Massie may be on the right side of a couple issues today, but we shouldnβt forget that heβs bought and paid for by Big Listeria.
