our media LOVES war

they LOVE explosions and fighter jets and flak jackets and The Troops

and we are a couple of days into this conflict and already they are starting to lose the narrative except in the most hardcore propaganda shows (Hannity et al)

it took years for Iraq to fall apart, not days

Because of course.πŸ™„

This is so typical of this crew. At this point it really doesn't matter if it's malevolence, or ignorance and incompetence, the end result is we are all a lot less safe than we were.

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."

The Straits of Hormuz are closed and will remain closed. That is a strategic failure of historic proportions.

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!

This summer gasoline hits $6.00 per gallon the country will have an economic crisis echoing 2008.

I don’t know if these people have read the constitution of the United States. To be in Congress one should have to take a test so we know they’ve read it and understood it. I don’t want an emperor. I don’t want a ruler. I don’t want an empire I want the US of A don’t vote Republican.

Rep. Davidson: "At least let our emperor be the ruler of the empire, not somebody else. I think that's a very troubling explanation by Secretary Rubio."

Quick reminder for MAGA:

Beau Biden (1969-2015) served as a US Army officer in Iraq. He later served as Maryland’s Attorney General.

Trump’s charity was ordered to pay $2M after the New York AG said it illegally used foundation funds causing his adult kids to take mandatory charity training.

Bad Bunny makes history by becoming the first all Spanish-Latin act, to sell out a stadium in Australia.

while we're on the subject.. the US and UK deposed democratically elected Mosaddegh in 53 because he nationalized the oil. Then we installed the Shah who ran a brutal police state for 20+ years. So yah the Islamic Revolution didn't pick "Death to America" as a slogan out of thin air!

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

You fucking GOP cowards, you have allowed a corrupt administration, led by an obvious deranged, immoral shithead, to put us in another war! More dead Americans on YOUR watch…

You’re all cowards for once again putting party before America.

214. The Court's (Selective) Impatience is a Vice The only theme uniting Monday night's twin grants of emergency relief is the Republican appointees' willingness to upend long-settled limits on the Court's power when, but only when, they *want* to.

As I explain via the latest β€œOne First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called β€œselective judicial impatience.”

And that’s *not* a good thing:

I can tell you this with certainty.

In Trump's mind, his fabulous taste and infinite construction wisdom is a lot more interesting than some dead suckers and losers.
