A truly sad degree of zero foresight, common sense or judgement.

Cornyn undertands it. He just knows that he is on the precipice of 1) getting his ass kicked by disenchanted cross-over voters and 2) getting his ass kicked by Trump if he doesn't support this ghoulish bill. He needs to be relentlessly squeezed on this so that he is maximally weakened.
These days, "because we don't feel like it" is sufficient enough.
There may well be a boring, innocent explanation here. But at the very least the optics are terrible, given prior meddling in/sabotage of other statistical agencies. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...
I guess it's good that some folks in Congress put out a public service message that reminded the troops that they shouldn't follow illegal orders.
No. Way.
Old enough to remember when his bones told him that COVID would only last like a few weeks.
The only piece of information one can extract here is how very much Newsom seems to trigger Trump.
They needn't worry - undoubtedly, their important ally (U.S.) has undoubtedly thought through all of the contingencies here.
In all seriousness, all they have to do is turn on CNBC for some breathless panic to get a sense of how much more runway Trump really has.
Making excuses for a murderous dictator is such a good look. Keep it up bro!
This is utterly insane:
Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes, according to three sources familiar with the closed-door session.
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
LOL. The premise of the question - that Bessent possesses the courage to "confront" Trump, and even if he did, that Trump would listen to him - is beyond comedy.
If you believe Trump's lie that Iran somehow used a missle that they don't possess to kill almost 200 children of IRGC members, you have issues.
What's evident is that they in fact had no plan. How do we know? Does anyone believe that this situation would have come to this point with zero show of any organized counterforce to protect the Strait if there had been a plan? 11 days into the war, no less.
They're just saying whatever they can to try and jawbone prices down. Won't work.
I meant the attempts to lower oil prices.
The campaign ads are writing themselves.
none of this is going to work.
LOL
anyone notice how NONE of this shit is working?
surprised Mr Blood & Capitalism here isn't spending his airtime whining about "the shorts."
Pure theft.
"We haven't raised prices and fucked up the economy enough so we will get those tariffs replaced asap."
Between these two, the stench on that stage must be next level revolting.
(They don't know where most of them are. Unfortunately.)
LOL. (ps if you're still buying any of this nonsense, there's something seriously wrong with you.)
Lewandowski has played Trump multiple times across the years. Guaranteed it will happen again.
