The gang explains the attacks on Iran.

Judge: did you attack the man doing bicep curls in the squat rack?

Me: Your honor, as Marco Rubio once said….

One person you shouldn’t ask is Trump, because he has no idea.

Trump couldn’t acknowledge the American lives his reckless actions took from us without bragging about his ballroom.

What a sick f***.

Trump Tells Jonathan Karl He Had Successors in Mind After Strikes on Iran — But They Were All Killed The president offered the details in a call with ABC's Jonathan Karl, also claiming that a regime insider had reached out to negotiate.

Whatever it is we’re doing in Iran, Trump certainly is not the guy with that info.

Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war…..”

Uh…this was not preemption, this was not defense.Take Trump’s domestic political objectives out of it and it was opportunistic offense at best.

Hegseth is on TV saying this war is unlike all the others that lacked “clear objectives.”

What are their objectives exactly ?Regime change? Obliterating the already obliterated nuclear program? To bring Iran to the negotiating table ?

They are testing out explanations to see what sticks.

Trump promised a better deal with Iran than the one he foolishly tore up. Shocker : he couldn’t deliver one.

This war is a testament to his incompetence.

Trump ignites a middle eastern war and then dances the night away at mar a lago.

No tears should be shed for Khamenei, rather for a world in which Trump decapitates whichever country he’s upset with this week with no democratic support or accountability.

Trump’s announcement says we will have casualties. No new wars! Restraint! Peace ! And then:

“Some of you may die but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

In the process, they are: 1)depriving the front lines of our national security of powerful tools 2) depriving the rest of the industrial base by designating it a
supply chain risk and 3) abusing the designation to beat a private company into submission. 2/2

Trump moves to blacklist Anthropic AI from all government work The penalty is usually reserved for companies from adversarial countries, like China's Huawei.

Anthropic is a testament to America’s global innovation leadership and you’re attempting to destroy it. 1/2

Hegseth revives push to punish Sen. Mark Kelly — POLITICO The Defense secretary appealed a ruling this month in favor of the former Navy captain.

Largest military buildup since we invaded Iraq and this is what Hegseth is doing:

Have you ever had so much to do you just take a nap?

They are running out of time. Fully expect this to happen within 24 hours.

Trump says he will raise new global tariff to 15% after Supreme Court setback — NBC News On Friday, most of Trump's tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision.

Look at this idiot go.

And it’s certainly not because they pose some sudden new threat, nuclear or otherwise.

The Ayatollahs are the devils we know. What comes next isn’t guaranteed to be better. I will not mourn their demise, but it should come at the hands of the Iranian people, not American troops. 3/3

I can’t pretend to know exactly why: Epstein? Jealousy of Obama’s peace prize? Just because he’s drunk on power and no one will stop him?

What I do know is he doesn’t have the attention span this requires. It isn’t going to be a weekend surgical strike while he’s golfing. 2/x

A significant part of my professional life was focused on preventing a war with Iran. We succeeded in containing their nuclear program without putting troops in harm’s way. Trump has lied about this for a decade and within the next 72 hours is likely to march foolishly into an optional war. 1/x

Trump’s military actions, in both terms, have been surgical strikes to win the news cycle, claim victory, and move on.

Iran is not that type of problem, but his attention span is the wildcard here. Could easily see a world where the ayatollahs fall but IRGC generals remain.

Imagine if when I was a CEO, my Board of Directors routinely went to investors and said “it’s not the CEO! It’s just all the people he hired and lets run wild through the company. We need to preserve the CEO’s legacy!”

Do you hear yourself, Thom?

Everyone needs to brace themselves for the fact that none of these people will go to jail. If Democrats return to power, Trump will issue blanket pardons to everyone and named pardons just to be safe for himself, his corrupt family, and cabinet members.

Sir that is none of your business

The GOP has been on a quest for my entire life to ensure the government is as incompetent as they always said it was. They are finally succeeding.

More thoughts on the Gabbed whistleblower complaint: if patterns hold , GOP will start claiming the NSA was spying on Trump and his friends again, rather than focusing on why they all seem to be buddies with foreign intelligence services.

Would pay good money to see the Danny McBride/Keegan-Michael Key movie. Don’t even care what it’s about .

In Trump’s defense, his short list for Secretary was John and Fat Leonard….(this joke has an audience I swear!)

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump — Guardian US Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

While everyone will get hung up on whether or not whistleblower process was followed, we allegedly have yet another instance of Trump’s inner circle communicating w/ a foreign intelligence officer who is a target of NSA collection.
