Greetings From Out of the Blue … State 🐸

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

These Christian Nationalists Are Loving War with Iran “God is using President Trump to execute judgment on wicked civilizations.”

Substitute “white” for “”Christian”. They’re not Christians and the lunatics will take us with them.
“Christian nationalists are enthralled by Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran — seeing this unlawful war as “a last-days moment” that could hasten the second coming of Jesus.”

Trump puts all Americans lives at risk. There is no plan.

They have no plan. #TrumpLiesSoldiersDie
“NBC News has confirmed that President Donald Trump has privately discussed the possibility of deploying a limited number of U.S. ground troops into Iran for targeted strategic missions”

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

2/ “The Administration told Congress that it was bombing near the region and analysis conducted by CNN, the New York Times, and others suggested that it was the United States that struck the school in Minab, Iran.”

NEWS: Iran Threatens Trump, Says he Will "Pay" as Trump Moves Closer to Deploying Troops and Denies USA Struck Elementary School Good evening everyone, hope you had a restful Saturday afternoon.

1/ “When asked about reports that a strike killed about 175 people at an Iranian elementary school, Trump claimed Iran was responsible due to inaccurate munitions, while Hegseth said the incident is still under investigation.”

1/ I've watched administrations handle various wars and military operations, and I can say without question I've never seen an administration show such casual disregard for the danger U.S. troops are facing or the death of U.S. troops. All things Trump are disturbing, but this particularly so.

Makes sense to me.

Republicans are going to try to use Kristi Noem's firing to deflect from ICE's cruelty ahead of the midterms.

Don't let them. She didn't design the agenda. Stephen Miller and Donald Trump did.

Firing the face doesn't absolve the people who built the machine.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Trump is a sucker who’s made the world a more dangerous place.

Our government is now the worst.
And 60 Minutes is now a joke.

I think it was evident today. And with good reason

It’s going to be about which cars don’t stop running (Williams) and which don’t have accidents because of the new formula. Kimi’s accident reminded me of revving an engine and dropping it into gear. Except at high speed. Max’s seemed almost the opposite. But both unlikely to have happened before.

The Whole Internet Is Utterly Appalled By This Latest White House "Call Of Duty"-Style Post "US troops are dying in a war and the White House is out here treating it like it's a video game. The bar is in hell."

Sick beyond comprehension.

Zelensky should require payment from Trump’s regime for this.

The Sum of Trump's Fears? We need the usual caveats about irrational exuberance or hopium chuffing.

The #WashingtonPressCorpse is failing
“The worst job numbers since the Great Recession, the slowest economic growth since COVID, and the worst inflation in nearly two years—these are not the signs of a healthy economy. And we haven’t even talked about oil yet.”

“A U.S. munition is increasingly believed to have struck an elementary school in Minab, Iran during the opening phase of the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign, killing more than 170 kids (the report says people).”

NEWS: White House Blocks Intel Report Warning of Elevated Terror Threats Due to War as Trump Escalates and Air Fare Set to Surge Good morning everyone.

He doesn’t want us to know.
“A Daily Mail report confirmed that the White House blocked a planned joint intelligence bulletin from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, & National Counterterrorism Center that warned of elevated terrorism threats in the United States linked to the war with Iran.

Girl Scouts of America isn’t happy with cookie sales at a South Jersey weed dispensary Girl Scouts in New Jersey recently sold cookies outside of a Mount Laurel marijuana dispensary. Higher-ups at Girl Scouts of America are not happy. Some scouts have been doing it for years.

Still… it seems like these young Girl Scouts showed some real marketing ingenuity.
