28 min long, but worth the watch. This, my friends, is what the no-more-war pos has gotten us into. Then add on the cost of ALL human lives. Thank you @drewxray.bsky.social for posting
When I joined the military many years ago, took the oath and was inducted, we were told our mission was to provide peace for our country and to serve others. Our motto back then was Peace is Our Profession. Thanks to drump - that’s long gone . He’s always wanted war. Mission accomplished.
This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.
Two words: **** Target.
Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
The Alexander Brothers now face Life in prison for their years-long sex trafficking & sexual abuse of young women & underage girls.
My take on how Jeffrey Epstein & the Alexander Brothers used the same playbook to try to intimidate victims & undermine their credibility.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
Good point. Especially since 47 has put whatever capable leadership it DID have out to pasture, and replaced all of it with ass-kissers...

We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesn’t want, without a clear purpose or endgame.
How should the American people respond? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-underlying-failure
We have had the best armed forces in the world since the end of WWII, and we have not decisively "won" a single armed conflict since then. Oops, I lied - we DID kick Panama and Grenada's ***es, hands down.
Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign"

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
It is not a question of polls. It is not a question of politics. It is a question of morality and legality and constitutional obligation. Every member of the Congress of the United States takes an oath of office to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States of America.
... And as the dust begins to settle, the grief in Iran will turn to rage, and then into a drive for revenge. 47 might do well to hope he doesn't live long enough to find out what OBL found out the hard way.
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Allie Phillips bravely told a pro-FAILED abortion death penalty bill group her story of fleeing Tennessee for a life-saving abortion

Sorry, Betty - we don't now, and never HAVE lived in such a world. From the time we first learned to walk on two legs a couple of million years ago, we've consistently stumbled from one fk-up to the next. And I see no indication we're likely to change.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

To be clear, Karoline Leavitt is nothing more than a white supremacy mouthpiece paid entirely to be exactly like North Korean state media. She’s there to ensure that real information never gets out to the public.
Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.
Just for once I wish Democrats would show some fucking BALLS. Instead of cushioning the impact of Trump's War on the consumer, they should be shouting from the rooftops about exactly who's RESPONSIBLE for all of this.
This is a bad policy that would help incumbents retain their seats in the upcoming midterms.
Why Democrats want do that when out of power in the White House, the Senate, and the House is another question.
Republicans control everything and every bad thing is their fault. Say it until November 3.
We're often tempted - when we see some Republicans make a big show of disagreeing with Trump - to believe we're seeing his heretofore monolithic base beginning to crumble. Then the NEXT issue arises - and the wayward Senator or Rep falls right back in line.
“…real failure is that the richest & most powerful nation in world — nation that has led the world since WW II & established the postwar international order emphasizing multilateralism, democracy, human rights, & rule of law — is now being led by a rogue president who rejects all these values.”
