Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

“I oppose the war but I voted to fund it because I had no choice” will be the talking point of too many.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

is everyone on glue

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

These assholes are really gonna go with “war is peace, actually.”

“They make a desert and call it peace.”

Trump & Co have been talking about US military action for weeks, if not months, and positioning the assets to do it - long before such intelligence ever could have become a factor. This is transparent nonsense.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., said today:
“To those who say, ‘Well, President Trump said he wasn’t going to take us into any wars,’ he’s keeping us out of wars in the long run.”
He has to know that makes no sense. MAGA is a con job.

Just a thought.

In foresight and hindsight, letting weird nerds who have trouble making friends dictate large aspects of society is/was a terrible idea

The parody movie about the AI bubble is going to have nowhere to go.

the pope telling jd vance to fuck off must be a religion unto itself because i’m devout

Now do immunity...

A large braided river in a tan to brown-toned air photo, probably fall, winter or spring. Large partly dissected bars are visible, as well as another set of braided channels to the south that is currently dry.

Two rivers joining. The larger stream has many bars submerged to varying degrees and light grayish brown water. The small stream has darker brown water that doesn't initially mix with that of the larger stream when they meet.

A river channel with a meandering form overall, but in the current flow conditions, multiple small braiding channels carry water within the larger mostly dry meandering channel belt.

A large river with many bars, some exposed at the time of the photo, with a smaller tributary entering from the southwest and forming a fan where it enters the larger stream valley.

More rivers of Nebraska, from Google Earth: South Platte near Brule, confluence of the Platte and Elkhorn rivers west of Omaha, Elkhorn upstream from Neligh, confluence of the Niobrara and Missouri just upstream from a reservoir.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

That photo from the air shows the edge of the Sandhills, 5-6 miles north of town. You can see the Cedar River beyond that, a Sandhills river in its upper reaches, with high base flow and clear water like all the beautiful Sandhills rivers.

President Trump late Thursday night shared a video that contained a brief clip portraying former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama as apes. The clip, set to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” was spliced near the end of a 62-second video that promoted conspiracy theories about anomalies in the 2020 presidential election. It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it. It was unclear how the clip was made, although it appeared to have been generated by A.I. The clip appeared to have been taken from a video that was shared in October by a user on X whose watermark is shown, with the caption “President Trump: King of the Jungle,” and an emoji of a lion.

What the hell is the New York Times doing?
In its article on Trump posting a video that included a clip of the Obamas as apes, NYT tries to help him come up with an excuse: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."
WTF.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
