Between this (is he smiling?) and the state of the union, Trump is just horny for people dying violently. like there’s no other way to describe it

In "The Charge of the Light Brigade," Tennyson was writing from the perspective of the soldiers, offering a tribute for their brave sacrifice: "Theirs not to reason why / Theirs but to do and die.”

Trump thinks it's a field manual for political leaders.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

Unaccompanied children as young as 13 who are pregnant, often from rape, are being moved to Texas so the Trump administration can avoid getting them access to abortion, critics say. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

‘That’s the way it is’
Like a homicidal Bruce Hornsby

are we serious

I'm confused -- traditionally it's the villain who issues videotaped monologues from the bunker, right?

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's cliché to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

This is just completely incoherent. He’s throwing around words like “intention” and “imminent” to pretend like there’s a justification for all of this.

Pro tip for those following the news. @atrupar.com goes to a concert or sporting event = some serious shit is about to go down. @atrupar.com travels out of state = war declared.

Lady Gaga’s father endorses Donald Trump in 2024 race, talks migrant crisis: ‘He’s a patriot’: https://nypost.com/2024/09/19/us-news/lady-gagas-father-joe-germanotta-endorses-trump-in-2024-race/

the president is posting articles from two years ago

We're now living in a retirement community dictatorship. Trump's making war from his Florida vacation home absent compliance with the Constitution or an effort explain his war of choice to the American people. Trump may pay a huge political price for such an illegal, and casual, use of our military.

😥😥😥 Stop this madman Trump!!!! Our kids shouldn't be dying for his vanity!!!

I'm sure it's fine that the guy who just started a war posts like a 12-year-old

There's much to say about what's going on, but what strikes me the most is just how embarrassing he is. The guy who launched an illegal attack that will lead to war and the likely destabilization of much of the Middle East for no real reason is posting like a middle schooler struggling with English.

He took $10 billion from the US taxpayer to set up a “Board of Peace”

He’s bombed 8 countries.

He’s presided over the killing of American citizens by ICE.

He’s given billions to DHS despite a record number of deaths in the camps

Now he’s started war in the Middle East.

Yikes. 😬🙄

Khanna: "Clinton has set a precedent, a new Clinton rule. That means Trump should do the same -- answer questions -- and Howard Lutnick should do the same. I'm working with a Republican to subpoena Lutnick next week ... someone made allegations against Trump that she was sexually abused as a minor"

Chris Murphy: "This is a disaster. It's illegal."

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

So they have no plan. Got it.

Ted Cruz: "I have no indication they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons"

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

The fact that a question like this even has to be asked is itself remarkable:

The White House has communicated so little about the offensive in Iran — its rationale, its goals, its scope, etc. — that there’s ambiguity about whether the United States is currently at war.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

@maddow.bsky.social: “he sees war as something he gets to do on his own say so in a baseball hat from his home. That is exciting. That is controversial. That is all about him and not for nothing, it’s the world’s greatest change of subject.”
