I wonder if SCOTUS is proud of unfettered access ruling now that is possible their own information is in the hands of this they allowed to access it.

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

Trump Declares Iran War Nearly Over: โ€˜The War is Very Complete, Pretty Muchโ€™ President Donald Trump on Monday declared the war in Iran was "very complete" while issuing a grim warning to the country.

2003: Bush struts onto an aircraft carrier to declare "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq.

Reality check: the war lasted 8 more years.
4,400+ U.S. soldiers died.

2026: trump says the Iran war is โ€œalmost over.โ€

Must be nice to confuse a podium for a finish line while other people do the dying.

One harsh lesson we learned during the pandemic is that a single life lost impacts numerous people.

Think about it.

A single person may simultaneously be a parent child, lover, sibling, dear friend, valued colleague, mentor, protรฉgรฉ, teacher, student, and neighbor.
