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
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
How stupid he said.
Totally normal that the #2 person at the DOJ civil rights division is asking me about a trial court denying our motion to intervene in a case DOJ is going to lose on the merits.
He clearly does not want you to stay informed by subscribing to Democracy Docket. Here is the link: bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Y’all.
Does anyone remember who was president when Epstein died in prison?
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
They don’t worry about war, gas prices, electric bills, and food prices on Fox & Friends, where they are serving up a healthy slice of nonsense and drivel for their audience.
House Republicans are not working again this week because they are down at Trump’s golf club in Miami.
At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.
If gas is too expensive to travel, the Trump family has a solution for you to stay home for entertainment.
Not Putin though. He’s one of the good guys now I guess. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...
The Golden Age rolls on.
It reminds me of the line in John Fogerty’s Fortunate Son: “And when you ask them, ‘how much should we give?’ They only answer, ‘more, more, more.’”
The Pentagon is swimming in cash after the last GOP budget. They can’t even pass an audit for their spending. The bill was loaded up with so many earmarks the Pentagon doesn’t even know how to spend it all. But now Trump wants more. No amount of military spending for the war machine is enough.
Lindsey now condemns Saudi Arabia.
Republicans call on Hegseth to stop stalling on the “investigation” of the bombing of the girls school in Iran.
It’s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.
He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
So after Taco Trump bails out of his Iran War, is he going to count it as one of the wars he supposedly ended?
Another lie to justify his stupid and illegal war.
He finally gets a little pushback on his lie and then he’s got nothing. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
The US president is an addled madman. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Not only did Trump bomb a girls elementary school killing around 175, he also continues to tell preposterous and obvious lies about it to the American people and the world while his defense secretary, who said he wasn’t following “stupid rules of engagement,” refuses to comment.
Trump’s ridiculous & disgusting answers today on the elementary school bombing may actually cause networks to cover it like the massive story that it is instead of treating it in passing like a footnote. Deny everything, blame others, refuse to accept responsibility or apologize.
