@joncarl on X: “Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."”

Trump says the US’ Iran regime change aim was “so successful” that it killed the US post-Iran regime change candidates.

So. Much. Winning.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

"After months and months of ceaseless whining about the doxxing of ICE agents, there hasn’t been a single peep from Attorney General Pam Bondi about the future of facial recognition in Meta glasses."

So as I understand it, it is the policy of the United States that the President can unilaterally issue orders to kill the leader of any country at any time for any reason?

there is no end to the defence of our politicians as either ignorant or blackmailed when the most likely reason is always that they're behaving in their own venal self interests #auspol

He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.

RELEASE THEM ALL‼️‼️

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

The more I read op eds by No 10's former Head of Political Strategy Paul Ovenden, such as this morning's latest in the Times, the more I understand the mess the Labour Party has created for itself. They are very unflattering in what they inadvertently reveal.

They keep saying Iran attacked us first. They know that if they say it enough times enough people will repeat it and believe it and then we will waste so much time contradicting them we won’t be able to stop the war or hold them accountable. That’s how it works. Fact checking does not matter.

At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.

I have a theory about the recent(ish) Hollywood trend of men getting dermal fillers, women having their buccal fat removed, and the Ozempic craze for all creating a wave of actors looking unrecognizable and slightly grotesque.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."
