You know those videos where Trump just kind of wanders off aimlessly?

That's my bold prediction for how this all ends.

He'll just lose interest in a few days, declare Iran obliterated and that'll be it.

Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.

Weren't we assured by this administration that despite the military having no ammunition or ships when they took over, all that had been fixed?

If you are telling ordinary Iranians to get to the streets to topple their government after tens of thousands were just murdered for protesting, while also suggesting there is an off-ramp for Iranian officials, it does not inspire confidence

Also, if the administration was planning to attack Iran for any reason, as they obviously were, why was the FBI director in Italy chugging beers with the hockey team?

If the administration had intelligence the Iranians were planning preemptive strikes in the region, and presumably elsewhere, why was the FBI director in Italy chugging beers with the hockey team?

Just heard @radiofreetom.bsky.social say anybody who says they know what's going to happen next is just making it up and damn near started clapping.

It was good to hear.

I would be very wary of taking Iranian claims at face value until verified, just as I would be wary of taking Trump’s claims at face value until verified.

I have zero confidence in any predictions being made right now.

The correct answer is, "I don't know what's about to happen." but your pundit career will be short lived if you say that.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Why not apply this same standard to Russia?

How many lives are being taken by their missiles and bombs?

Why don't you apply this same standard to Russia?

Same. I had one relative who stopped watching it and made an immediate 180. It was remarkable how much he changed when he stopped watching it.

What good is a Department of War if you don't use it?

All Fox News all the time.

When I go to the homes of some extreme MAGAs I know, that's all that's on the television.

There's going to be a lot of AI slop passed off as videos from the Gulf region.

Be careful.

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't take health advice from a guy who sounds like that?

I remember when the media were apoplectic about Biden officials calling inflation 'transitory.'

Now we're literally at 'Let them eat offal.'

This is Trump's former AI adviser

Good idea. It's worked so well with citizens electing the president and congress.

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

What the Pentagon is doing is obscene but also legally extremely dubious. Anthropic will sue, a court will enjoin the government, and I think everyone (including the government) understands this.

Cancel culture on campuses is out of control.

God, these people are idiots.

"Oh, good! Now I can switch to CNN and CBS!" said no Fox News addict ever.
