Unironically this could be a useful way to make the war less popular

“Wow, did you know Iran was this big?”

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

A Final Iran Solution, as it were.

Jeffrey Goldberg: "[Iran] has been a stalwart enemy of the United States and has undone the U.S. in various ways. It's not the worst theory in the world to say, 'Let's just deal with it once and for all, right?'"

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.

“Trump got very lucky and now we’re paying for it,” could apply to incidents in any of the last ten years.

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

Yes and also I’m not sure how publicly known it is how close it came to becoming black hawk down in Venezuela

Just pointing out that historical adherence to targeting reviews hasn’t actually prevented attacks on civilian targets.

I don’t know, big hair to fill.

He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

It's funny, growing up the Miami Herald was famous for Monkey Business Gary Hart and now they're famous for uncovering a global pedophile ring that included two Presidents and Bill Fucking Gates. I'd say that's an insane CV from a small but mighty paper

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

When the Air Force did not avoid populated areas, cluster bomb strikes caused civilian casualties. The Baghdad date grove was located immediately across the street, on at least two sides, from Hay Tunis, a densely populated, residential neighborhood. Nihad Salim Muhammad was washing his car when the bombs hit. During the strike, the bomblets injured several people on his street, including four children. Around midnight on April 24, the U.S. Air Force dropped at least one CBU-103 on al-Hadaf girls’ primary school in al-Hilla. The strike killed school guard Hussam Hussain, 65, and neighbor Hamid Hamza, 45, and injured thirteen others, according to Hamid Mahdi, a 30-year-old butcher who lived across the street. The manager of the school said there were dozens of paramilitary troops in the neighborhood at the time of the strike. While the Air Force minimized civilian harm by dropping the bombs at night, the incident shows the dangers of dropping clusters in populated areas. [...]

“Iran should stop punching itself”

-Mike Johnson

Missiles fired by US, Israel hit two schools near Tehran: Iranian media The latest attack comes six days after the deadliest single one during the war on Iran, which killed 165 people.

The Trump administration says they didn‘t mean to kill all those little girls, but why do they keep bombing schools?

Maybe the could use MS360!

”We don’t know why they’re ’roadSIDE bombs’ when they’re planted ALL OVER the roads—I’m going to have Whiskey Pete check into that…”

Ideally what happens now is Iran has a genuinely free and fair election, Iranians choose someone Trump hates, and Trump immediately declares that the election was rigged

It’s not an accident that all their guys are super stupid paranoid reactionaries top to bottom. It’s literally the only way this works.

I think we gotta give trump a break here, who could have possibly foreseen that a new war of choice in Iran would in any way impact the price of oil

...wait I'm getting an update

Don’t worry, guys, the Bush admin neocons are on the case. Only a matter of time before mission accomplished!

Oh man just think how messed up they are to do this

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”
