"A short-term experience" is the most absurd euphemism for war I have ever heard.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.

Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.

since nobody in the Trump administration has real job duties, here's "Secretary of State" Marco Rubio pontificating on college sports today as part of Trump's roundtable event, as though this is his area of expertise

Rep. Joe Wilson: "What President Trump has done is truly -- it's been compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now, President Trump is creating in the Middle East liberation for a number of countries, all the countries"

CNN's Dana Bash: "I asked Trump about rising gas prices. He said, 'That's alright. It'll be short term. It'll go way down very quickly.' I said, 'They're pretty high now.' He said, 'No they're not.'"

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Jeffries calls Kristi Noem "a living breathing article of impeachment"

CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms

Stephen Miller at an international conference about cartels: "These organizations can only be defeated with military power. I see some heads nodding because they understand. You're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your own country, I'm sure. You have my permission not to listen to them."

Had to throw in that "probably" so when we do put boots on the ground he can try to act like he wasn't lying.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

*Insert Dr. Manhattan meme here*

"Major combat operation", "special military operation", potato, potahto.

Trump to Tapper: "We don't know who the leadership is. We don't know who they'll pick. Maybe they'll get lucky and get someone who knows what they're doing ... We don't know who is leading the country now. They don't know who's leading. It's a little like the unemployment line."

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom.

In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

Rep. Ryan Zinke: "I am thrilled to death -- no pun intended -- that the president has had the courage to act when other presidents sat on the sidelines"

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

Literally

Trump reveals he doesn’t know the difference between the Civil War and Reconstruction

Trump: “We don’t want people who can’t love our country voting in elections”

Trump: "If we didn't win the election, out nation would right now be destroyed"

Trump: "I got probably 85 million votes. They say 78 million, 79 million. They cheated in this election too. It was just too big to rig. They cheated like hell ... a Democrats will get 3, 4, 5, 6, and even 7 ballots, and then we're supposed to win. They're professional cheaters."

Trump alludes to his bad polls: "It just amazes me that there is not more support out there. We actually have a silent support."

Trump: "Fake polls -- I got one today. I saw one today that I'm at 40%. I'm not at 40%. I'm at much higher than that. I'd love to run against anybody. The real polls say 'you'd kill everybody, it wouldn't even be close.'"

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."
