It seems kind of significant that a sitting U.S. Senator essentially asked if Trump was compromised, and brought receipts.

I kind of feel like the world is coming to an understanding of something that @craigunger.bsky.social first opened my eyes to years ago.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

This reminds me of one week into the invasion of Iraq in 2003, when WSJ was proclaiming Rumsfeld the greatest US secretary of defense of all time. That didn't weather well. Neither will this, which indeed is an insult to the intelligence of the average WSJ reader.

US Commanders Want to Make War With Iran as ‘Bloody’ as Possible to Bring About Biblical End Times, Officers Report | Common Dreams One noncommissioned officer said he was directed to tell his troops that Trump was "anointed by Jesus" and that war with Iran was "all part of God’s divine plan" to bring about armageddon.

Remember when Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in his first term?

He was catering to a sizeable group of evangelical Trump supporters who think HE will bring about Armageddon, which comes only after the restoration of Jerusalem.

This piece by Craig Unger is worth reading. It is about how Iran came to be what it is, and how Ronald Reagan made that happen.

It's very hard for the public to learn who is behind these accounts, but if any prosecutors did want to take up this case, it would likely be trivially easy to subpoena all the evidence they need.

They Built It. Now They Want to Bomb It. Today's Iran crisis didn't start with just the mullahs. It started with a secret deal that Republican operatives made with them— a deal that changed history and may now lead to war.

They Built It. Now They're Bombing It.

The 1980 October Surprise didn't just put Reagan in the White House. GOP operatives also sided with repressive Islamists who took control of the Iranian revolution and squashed the forces of secular democracy.

@craigunger.bsky.social wrote a book titled "American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump..." that I recommend everyone read. It's stunning how long the corruption has been occurring.

Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military Some senior officials resisted the decision to approve the major military spending increase, people familiar with the matter said.

SCOOP: Trump aides are struggling to spend an extra $500 billion on the military, delaying budget

Trump agreed to Hegseth’s bid for *~50%~* military spending boost

Vought & others objected internally

It’s so much $ they can’t figure out how to spend it
