Agreed. Unfortunately, disgusting and tastelessness is what we’ve come to expect from Trump and his administration.
No one who ever worked at senior levels of the Pentagon, State Department, or CIA would ever believe that career pros told Trump that invading Iran would be quick and easy or that Iran would not close the Strait.
As this WSJ article outlines, Trump obviously ignored all advice except his own.
So the uber-macho Hegseth is, in reality, a vain snowflake.
Strange times. It seems that Lindsey Graham is trying to out-Trump Trump.
Sure….when they leave office
The problem is the people who traffic in fear and disinformation. Like Mike Johnson.
Someone needs to give Cotton a dictionary. And teach him how to use it.
Someone needs to explain the meaning of “imminent” to Cotton, Rubio, Trump, and anyone else who tries to make this meaningless argument.
If true, every one of those commanders should be relieved of duty immediately.
Someone should tell Cory she’s not gonna step down and Trump’s not gonna fire her. It’s past time for Congress to step up and do its job.
Pete Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war.” A new low in deflection and stupidity from this administration.
Typical of this administration…. face a tough or uncomfortable question and they immediately try to blame their own incompetence and stupidity on Biden
Sure, Pete. You and Trump are doing all you can to make the US an international pariah.
Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that.
Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.
Brave words from someone who worked hard to avoid military service and who thinks those killed and wounded in service to their country are losers. What would president Bonespurs know about service or sacrifice?
This is a time for coalition. We may not agree on everything, but surely the defense of liberty in the face of this administration's abuses can bring together progressives, libertarians, and quite a few conservatives in common cause.
Brave words from a president who worked hard to avoid military service
Jack Shanahan, retired US Air Force General and first Director of the Department of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center:
So, now weed control is a national security issue? Will they ever get serious or will they continue to pander to big business?
Reports are that Trump’s approval ratings are some of the lowest ever and getting worse. That makes you wonder why GOP legislators won’t start representing their constituents and pushing back more. Are they that afraid of Trump? Do they not care? Are they more concerned with clinging to power?

Pathetic. The man’s ego and self-glorification are beyond belief
After the Supreme Court ruling, Trump says he will impose a global 10% tariff to protect the country. He’s not protecting the country. He’s pitching a hissy fit because he didn’t get his way.

Randy Fine is an utter embarrassment to his Congressional district, the people of Florida, and humanity in general.
The essence of the Big Lie
Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.
