How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

You can tell how badly the war is going from the amount of changing stories and obvious lies from the administration.

But because the Republicans are so used to talking to stupid people, they think everyone else can't see the blindingly obvious.

everything totally fucking sucks right now.

the president is a demented fascist. he’s wasting billions of dollars on an illegal war. masked and armed government thugs have invaded the streets of our cities. gas is unaffordable. food is unaffordable. Congress is useless. the press is useless. Republicans are trying to fuck with our system of free and fair elections.

ugh.

but at least we can take schadenfreudian pleasure in the fact that Marco Rubio’s feet are killing him.

why is Liddle Marco hobbling around in pain? because Dear Leader is making him wear shoes that don’t fit, and he’s too chickenshit to take them off.

I wish I were making this up.

get a load of this clownfuckery: Mad King Donny is making his flunkies wear the exact same shitty shoes as he does, and they're too afraid to say no. I mock the shit out of all of it, in a tremendous post like few thought possible. 'sir!' they say, 'how do you words?' link is here: bit.ly/4deDUG7

same people Trump is forcing to wear shoes that don't fit won't tell him the truth about his war:

"Inside the administration, some officials are growing pessimistic about the lack of a clear strategy to finish the war. But they have been careful not to express that directly to the president"

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.

At Least 17 U.S. Sites Damaged in War With Iran, Analysis Shows

This updated NYT list of the key strategic sites Iran has hit separates the description of the hit on Prince Sultan Air Base from the strike there, on the same day, that would kill Benjamin Pennington (previously NYT tied the two, which is probably correct).

We the People reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad.

Let’s show up on March 28 to say in one voice: No wars of aggression. No terrorizing our communities or yours. No tyrants, no conquests, no kings.

Trump’s Surgeon General Pick Needs a Spine Implant A recent exchange revealed a troubling lack of political courageβ€”but the job practically demands it.

NEW: During her confirmation hearing, Casey Means was "tailoring her statements to avoid political blowback, to an extent that past surgeons general have not. That’s a big warning sign on a nomination where the lights were already blinking bright red."

Join @nationalnurses.bsky.social on Thursday 3/12 to demand Sen. Susan Collins refuse future donations from Palantir.

Palantir powers mass surveillance + #ICE, and is now in the healthcare industry: MaineHealth has entered into a contract with Palantir.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

"In his second term, Trump knew exactly what he wanted and who could give it to him. In many cases, that meant not just a weak choice but literally the worst possible choice, the person guaranteed to do maximal harm. In short, we have never seen quite this collection of clowns, cranks, and crooks."

Per Carol Leonnig: 300 FBI agents whose specialty was national security "have left" since beginning of Trump's 2nd administration. Moreover, the DOJ's counter-espionage unit has been reduced by 50%.

Trump claims to prioritize national security, yet his actions are inviting major attacks on US soil.

This is the way a lot of us would like to think we would respond to hostile questions in a Congressional hearing, but its rare to see a witness just turn the tables on a Senator like this.

There should ALREADY have been a loud push to get both him and Jared out of here. At worst, they're the scapegoat for starting a regional war w/o thinking the most basic things through.

But yeah. Either Witkoff can't manage basic grammar or he's a Russian asset.

Like Trump, that way.

The Con Trump Used to Attempt to Hide How He's Rewarding Russia for Helping Iran Target Americans - emptywheel Americans deserve to know whether Russian targeting assistance helped kill Benjamin Pennington before Trump rewards Vladimir Putin for his own strategic idiocy.

"Trump is engaged in a series of cons to try to distract from the reality about his illegal invasion of Iran...but the most substantive thing he’s considering...is to reward Vladimir Putin for potentially helping to kill Benjamin Pennington." @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/2026/03/10/t...

Below is the table for Brent crude, showing a downward path from March 9, but spiking up again today.
