It's going EXACTLY as expected. But mark your calendars, kids, a year from now we'll be looking back at today as a golden age in comparison. We're heading down a very dark path.
Well, given the amount of insider trading, Polymarket has become a marketplace of paid informants.
I'm pretty sure this will ultimately be paid for with a massive spike of printed money followed by 70s style inflation. I, for one, am excited to see that 20% Fed rate again.
Regular reminder for those who zoned out in Geography class: Iran is 1.1 times the size of ALASKA, with a population of 90M. Now that Captain Crazy has pissed off every (now former) ally, this will have to be an All American invasion force. There ain't enough troops now in uniform to do it.
Whatever Putin has on Trump, it's gotta be something akin to a remote controlled exploding butt plug, cuz the level of submissive restraint and fear to displease is otherwise inexplicable.
So it's either a D-Day landing with zero factor of surprise, or .... carve a land route thru where? Turkey? lol. Iraq?? Lol. Pakistan??? LoL. Turkmenistan or Afghanistan???? LOL. Good luck with that.
Trump still... STILL won't say anything bad about Putin. JHC... Is Trump wearing a Russian shock collar?
Gotta put those TLDR summaries up top.
Kegger really did purge every intelligent general officer and replaced them with clueless sycophantic loyalists.
I'll get blocked
Brace for incoming TS post

Yeah, about that guidance kit. The intertubes claims Boeing can make about 130/day. Hope it doesn't need RAM.
Reeks of that time during the Vietnam war when "body count" was the metric of victory. Only in a video game does such a score decide it.
It's long been said that "all politics is local". Well, same goes for gas prices. We all know what the lowest price near us is, and a station a thousand miles away with a lower price doesn't mean shit.
Dumb bombs easy squeezee.
Smart missiles, not so much.
This dichotomy of "we have unlimited" vs "we need to buy more" clearly insults the intelligence of people who have it. But, Trump has the benefit of a base that possesses none.
I dunno, that jet bed and the jobs she gave her "special assistant" will long be remembered, too.
Sure. As if.
That's the disconnect. While we focus on Trump's colossal character faults, the "intellectual" and monied class that support him don't care because what matters to them was Miller's goal: round up and deport cultural "enemies". Support for that is upfront. They're angry the Net isn't wider.
Actually, it would scare me more if Captain Crazy thought it was a problem and started bragging that his button was bigger.
A fast scanner and Claude will open up your vacation options.
Just when you think Republicans can't insult our intelligence any worse, we get another "hold my beer" moment.
Did this character also believe that chocolate milk came from brown cows?
My MAGA relatives give me perspective. Trump, they believe, is the last chance to save (their definition of) civilization. This isn't based on Fox or back country living, but from frequent trips to Europe and friends there. This short story distills their fears:

It's not inconceivable that if Trump is ultimately cornered and about to face accountability, he'll push the button.
One has to hope that Miller wants to live thru this, so will keep the nuke option off the table. But who knows. Hope someone's keeping an eye on the billionaires. If they start dispersing to their bunkers, then...
Oh! So when Trump is in the dock, it's all delay delay. But NOW he demands his cases be decided quickly?
