Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

So Putin is now in charge of Trump who's in charge of the U.S. military? Does this about sum up the fucking situation?

Whelp, Iran is putting Russian and Chinese mines in the Strait of Hormuz...I guess that is one way to help, indirectly.

Q: "The president said yesterday that President Putin told him he wanted to be helpful in the Middle East…How does the president think Russia could be helpful?"
Leavitt: "I'll leave it to the president to divulge any more of that conversation."

Relax, look into his dead eyes and listen to the king. The necessary little skirmish in Iran is temporary and painless. The cost of gas & groceries are not rising. "Affordability is a Democratic Hoax". It is ALL ex president Joe Biden's fault. Also, stop talking about the Epstein Files cover up.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

That f*cker. If anyone doesn't "understand the real world", it's the rich a-holes who have basically had everything given to them their entire lives.

Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons merges with drone manufacturer
Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House
A Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons is merging with a drone manufacturer.
But nothing to see here, right? Cause a golf club manufacturing company and drone manufacturer with Israeli ties merger is perfectly fucking normal.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Hegseth: no other country takes as many precautions to ensure the U.S. is not targeting civilians.
Also Hegseth: military rules of engagement are “stupid.”
ALSO Hegseth: “We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country”
Disgusting.

⬇️ For your consideration: Watch to learn about the $220M taxpayer-funded ad campaign that's tied to a mysterious Delaware LLC and a horse named Gill.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

It’s already clear that Hegseth is going to blame Iran for the bombing of the girls school since it was located near a military base, just like many American schools.
