Trump shows weakness, permitting Putin (who is under indictment) in the US and traveling to the meeting in Alaska. And what's being reported-giving Russia all of eastern Ukraine - is precisely what Russia was proposing in 2016 with Paul Manafort and others, and would reward its illegal war effort.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

YouTube video by TECHPK Trump Said of Lindsay Lohan in 2004 ‘Deeply Troubled’ Women Are ‘Always the Best in Bed’

He here’s the convo:

The piece of evidence he didn’t include was Trump talking to Howard Stern in 2004 about Lindsay Lohan (who was 18 at the time) and saying that deeply troubled women are the best in bed.

As promised, a distillation of the "Russia hoax" hoax. Didn't get to everything, since I couldn't, but I think you'll get the point. www.pbump.net/o/allow-me-t...

A repost by Elon Musk shows a tweet from Dr. Insensitive Jerk (@DrInsensitive). The tweet expresses controversial and inflammatory views about women and Western culture. It claims that women are built to be traded or captured and integrate into new cultures for safety, referring to them as "physically weak." It argues that women conform to and amplify the dominant culture and suggests that Western women are now promoting an "anti-white culture," despite being white themselves. The tweet concludes by implying that white men should remind women of their identity to avoid harsher consequences. Below this, a smaller embedded tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) replies to another user, stating: "They’ve been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media."

Elon Musk retweeted a post saying that women were "built to be traded" like property.

How is it that the richest man on earth can share this kind of openly white supremacist and misogynistic trash and it be met with a shrug by the entire US elite?

Tweet from Dr. Insensitive Jerk (@DrInsensitive): Insightful. Women are built to be traded to another tribe (or captured) and slide seamlessly into their new culture. That keeps them safe,even though they are physically weak. 20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture. IMO, that is why Western women, raised in anti-white culture, are now amplifying anti-white culture, even though they are white. They think that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white. Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle.

This is a real tweet and Musk really RT'd it.

I don't care if he's saying the right things about Epstein - he's a terrible person.

When you strip away humanity

I’ll watch Stephen Colbert wherever he lands.

"Repeatedly accuse your opponents of doing something they are not doing, so that when you take power and actually do it, the worst you'll face is 'both sides do it' handwringing."

It's a low, shitty, dishonest strategy, but it works, again and again and again.

Yeah. I don't know much about Strait of Hormuz. But know something about China.

Reaction in Zhongnanhai is going to be: ARE YOU KIDDING? GMAFB. [Chinese variants thereof.] And so on.

Hegseth’s boss, nine hours later: “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!”

[Trump still doesn’t understand what “politically correct” means]

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump It's not politically correct to use the term, "Regime Change," but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!

This morning:

Hegseth told reporters the war against Iran is "not about regime change.”

This afternoon:

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

The extreme right-wing Christians who run the US govt...

join the extreme rt-wing Jews who run the Israel govt...

in a war with the extreme rt-wing Muslims who run the Iran govt...

...and the rest of the world's believers & atheists would like to be left out of it.

'There Is No Intel': Trump's Attacks on Iran Were Based on Vibes, Sources Say Trump’s decision to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities was not based on new intelligence, administration officials say.

No Intel. The criminally insane madman started a war with Iran based on voices he was hearing in his own head. 🙄 They call it “Vibes”.

How cutting Medicaid could upend long-term care for many older Americans Experts told PBS News that there are ways to ensure older adults get the quality and type of care they need, but most require more resources, not less.

Worth remembering: Though Medicare is the primary health insurance provider for senior adults, it’s Medicaid that pays for nursing home coverage and other long-term care.

FWIW, every MAGA-connected account on FB that I’ve seen today has used this exact phrase “sleeper cells” and they’ve ascribed responsibility for them to Biden’s immigration policy. It should be fairly obvious what the PR strategy is here. Any blowback the US might experience is Biden’s fault.

The Obama Doctrine The U.S. president talks through his hardest decisions about America’s role in the world.

Obama described the Washington playbook in 2016. We're currently watching the way the media buys into the playbook. This time on Iran.

GOP neocons want regime change.
Trump admin says it's about stopping the (nonexistent) nuclear program.

I'm just noting the different goal posts.

no accidents

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

Colbert was prophetic when he invented the term "truthiness"

According to sources, the VP, SecDef and DNI advised against getting involved. Why have them if you’re not going to listen to them??

Rand Paul aide says JD, Tulsi, and Whiskey Pete advised against.

Hang on to this one for when they move the goalposts

ABC’s Jay O’Brien is reporting that republicans in Congress were briefed ahead of the strikes, but that democrats were not briefed until after the attack was underway.
