Aaron Rupar

this is explicitly genocidal

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict

This guy looks like he wants to sell me a reverse mortgage.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

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.

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"

"We have to understand him not as a fascist, though he is, but as a crazy person — a genuinely crazy person who wakes up every day & you never know what he's going to do bc he doesn't know"

New ep of @davidnir.com & Rupar on Trump's illegal war of choice is live: www.publicnotice.co/p/trumps-ill...

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.

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

Trump wanders away

Trump: "We're talking about colleges that are gonna go out of business. Our whole educational system is gonna go out of business because of this. So I understand what you're saying in terms of the level of importance, but to me this is very important."

DOOCY: What is motivating you to do this right now? There is a lot of other stuff going on in the world

TRUMP: In Iran we're doing very well. Somebody said, 'How would you score it from 0 to 10?' I said, 'I'd give it a 12 to a 15.'

after refusing to answer his question about Iran and Russia working together to kill US troops, Trump gives Peter Doocy another chance but refuses to take questions on anything other than college sports

Q: Why aren't there any student athletes in the room?

TRUMP: ... Do you want to answer that question, Randy?

RANDY: We have agents here. There's limited room.

Q: Could you tell us what went into your decision to replace Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin?

TRUMP: Ughh. Is it possible to say on this subject? Just for once

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

Even if they don’t surrender, we will call that an unconditional surrender and declare victory. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage

Trump on the current system of compensation for college athletes: "I think you should just go back to what you had and let some judge tell you you can't do it. And you appeal it up and you win at some point, because I think what you had was a great system."

something underappreciated about Trump is that nobody loves falling asleep in boring, interminable meetings more than him

Yup for sure that will happen

Trump was about to end his roundtable event but then Ted Cruz piped up to say something. Trump is obviously annoyed by him and starts chatting with Marco.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

To be fair, he might instead be doing this as National Security Advisor….

We bombed the fuck out of Iran, knowing that there are sleeper cells.

What is even happening?

Me when someone i dont like is giving a presentation
