One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran
Trump is in Texas today because the GOP is in trouble. Presidents don’t campaign in “safe” states unless something’s wrong.
And, there's a lot wrong right now. Texans have suffered under one party rule for too long.
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
fucking genocidal
The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.
Disgusting display by the US men's hockey team as they laugh along with a violent misogynist as he mocks the women's team. No solidarity among Olympians with these guys.
The newly unearthed connections in this are 👀
The Department of Commerce did not respond to a request for comment. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

A tariff that expires in 150 days isn’t a long-run industrial policy. Firms invest on multi-year horizons. If the policy is temporary, the investment response will be, too: mostly none.
(This was recorded when the tariff rate was 10%; it's now 15%.)
“Not only has Congress not authorized such a war, but it has barely even debated it. The administration has not bothered to explain, either to Congress or the American people, why it might bomb Iran or what it hopes to achieve…This is how an autocracy goes to war.”

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."
Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."
Kash Patel, laser focused on the safety of the American people
We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
After a great game we get a drunk, jock-sniffing fanboi in the locker room on our dime, then misogynistic belittling of the women’s team who accomplished the exact same thing by the president and men’s team. What a way to kill a vibe. Enjoy the pedophile’s speech, boys.
The FBI claimed Kash Patel didn't spend $75,000 in taxpayer funds to fly on a private jet to watch the Olympics.
Today, Patel was spotted partying in Team USA's locker room.
Shame on them all
ICE shot and killed a 23 year old American with no criminal record in Texas last March. Their involvement was hidden until now: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
Two-month old babies, choking on their own vomit while detained by ICE? I can't even believe I typed that sentence.
MAGA, you can't keep clinging to your "oh, they need to come here legally" bullshit. These are BABIES.
Where is the humanity?
Shut these concentration camps DOWN.
Senile Satan: “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anyone. It’s pretty boring stuff. I think only pretty bad people, including the fake news, want to keep something like that going.”
