People in that vicinity better hope they’re not hit with any natural disasters that require ASAP satellite imagery analysis for the foreseeable future, I guess

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"
Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
welp
I do think that WSJ piece about Lindsey Grahm is pretty useful when figuring out where Trump's at: they're playing word association games with him so he coughs out stock phrases
Jesus fucking lord this entire administration is just manipulating the stock market in between murdering people.
the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
Trump can just openly say “I am doing this to bring in a one party state for 50 years” and commentators will hem and haw about the intricacies of carrying off a talking filibuster
The US Navy faces a very plausible risk of significant surface combatant losses in a future great power conflict. Not the precedent you want to be setting here.
So all Trump did to day was use Iran's closure of Hormuz as an excuse to reward Russia, which is helping Iran wiht targeting, and give his buddies a chance to cash in on their insider knowledge?
Anything I'm missing?
House lawmakers on the Judiciary Committee debated a proposal Thursday that has been described as "a full-blown assault on the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution."
It is absolutely insane that anyone can expect the Iranian people to “rise up” while being chemical bombed
We are making enemies of everyone for no reason beyond the greed and bloodlust of old rich men
This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
This analysis seems *modestly* more pessimistic than current reports suggest (e.g., Iran hasn't disabled all five THAADs) but the asymmetry is real. Iran can likely keep SoH closed with cheap drones for months, no matter what we do, and nothing could re-open it other than a collapse of the IRGC.
Trump's assholery has killed a wonderful advanced X-ray astronomical mission that has been in development for almost a decade.
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
If Trump had said "I'm thinking of invading Iran" things would have gone badly but since he just flippantly said "I'm thinking about taking it over" markets are like OH THANK GOD HE HAD A PLAN ALL ALONG.
Guys... we cannot take over Hormuz without making everything significantly worse.
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
The Trump admin just accepted a settlement with Live Nation for less than 1% of their revenue last year. It’s nothing like what we were looking for when the Biden Admin opened this case.
Ticket Master and Live Nation need to be broken up.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.
Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.
why, you could even say the mission was accomplished
Here, hear it from the man himself.
The correct terms for this whole process are political purges and illegal rescission.
But Trump officials (including Elon Musk) say “efficiency” and “private sector” and “waste, fraud, abuse,” and a lot of people—including much of the press—buy it. At least enough to miss the unsubtle big picture.
A week into an illegal undeclared war, and there’s no justification, no communication, and no plan for what comes next.
The U.S. and Europe have to someday realize that what the Israeli government envisions for Iran is the largest humanitarian catastrophe of the century so far
I cannot express how angry I am about the EA buyout.
The Trump administration is treating war with Iran as a game without consequences. Seven service members are dead.
Our troops deserve better.
