Does anyone besides the 33% of MAGA dead Enders want to listen to this motherfucker talk about anything anymore?
NO!
But he gave us a new phrase to to hit him with, "Dirty Cops"
Trump's ICE are "Dirty Cops"!
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

It does seem like a significant failing that Rhodesia vanished from the popular memory basically instantly *except* for white-supremacist fascists who idolize it.
Like, the Wiki article on fire force tactics gives no sense at all that these were an abject failure.

No matter what bullshit lies the MAGA regime puts out to spin, the reality is that they deliberately attacked Iran and murdered over 160 children as well as countless civilians. These war crimes arenβt about keeping Americans safe, itβs about creating as much chaos as possible.
Trump will deem Iran to have surrendered
Look. Not everything is predictable. There was no reason to assume a full scale air assault on Iran would drive up gas prices.

I'm starting to get a sense this part of the equation wasn't planned out or workshopped in advance. "under every rock" lol.
Think about how trump talks about literally anything.
He did it, he's already doing it, and he'll do it in 2 weeks, and he'll use all three interchangeably as if time has no meaning.
What is important is that the thing, it's happening or happened or will happen.
I love the scene in Abel Gance's 1927 film Napoleon when all the French officers laugh at Napoleon because he wants to attack the British at night at their weakest point at Toulouse.
Like he's the only dude doing the bare minimum military leadership and all the French can't believe he's doing it.
Just saying the results of this poll were released two days before Trump went to war with Iran. And just saying he gripped that podium like his life depended on it.

I donβt wish harm on any member of Americaβs armed forces - quite the opposite. But I do hope Trump gets some kind of comeuppance that curbs his evidently rising enthusiasm for more and more violent foreign adventures. He is becoming a war addict, abusing American power for his own self-glory.
Bondi next in line for angry GOP lawmakers after Noem driven from office: report
If Kamala Harris had won the election there would be hundreds of thousands - counting USAID, millions - fewer human beings suffering and starving than currently under Trump
if this is "a few crumbs" then fuck you, you're a monster
What the hell.
truly sick fuck
Though their offensive antics might delight Trump, these Ugly Americans further alienate vital allies. Even in Poland, one of the most pro-American nations in the world, a majority of respondents in a recent poll said the U.S. is no longer a reliable ally. wapo.st/3OQYwu8
Several years from now, a thoughtful scholar will write a book called βTrumpβs Willing Executionersβ about how a nation of 340 million descended into abject depravity.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
A classified report by the National Intelligence Council found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republicβs entrenched military and clerical establishment. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Superheros brainwash our children out of the idea of collective action and mythologize powerful man thank you for coming to my TED talk
Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.
A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

Kylo Ren shouting "More!" from the bridge on Crait in the Last Jedi, posted as part of a video montage by the White House Twitter account, with the caption "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. πΊπΈπ₯"
The official White House Twitter account apparently wants Americans to think of ourselves as Kylo Ren trying to destroy Luke Skywalker who is punking us from 100,000 light years away.
No who was she ?
Is it just me, or does Hegseth seem to derive sick, twisted pleasure from blowing people up? How often does he watch these videos? Who does he watch them with?
A blue ocean strategy for a continent that had long-relied on nepo babies and free agents for military leadership.
