He's not wrong either, Congress and SCOTUS have rolled over and shown their bellies.

At a fundamental level Trump doesn’t believe he has to sell anything to anyone. Not to Congress, not to the voters, not to other world leaders. He really believes he can do whatever he wants and fuck anyone who disagrees.

Let's hope it produces the answer to the trivia question "who finished with 36% of the vote in the 2028 presidential election?"

but, to your point, how they unravel it remains to be seen.

Killing the VRA is Roberts' life work and I'm fully expecting a maximalist ruling

So many cities are going to adopt at large schemes

oof. Me neither.

Like, even a pro-Bibi telling of events (just to be clear, not one i would endorse) would have to put conflict front and center.

I don't know why this of all the things is what got to me, but Graham Platner might be my personal breaking point.

sure isn't

I had a lot of conversations with my grandfather about what it meant to be Jewish in the United States vs elsewhere, and I've got to say I'm glad he isn't alive to see our current sorry state of affairs.

Being a Jewish person in America right now is a wild experience.

we're not veering, we're driving straight into it.

Wars: famous for never generating unintended consequences that spiral out of control.

Somewhere out there, a university president is thinking "we could achieve some really top notch brand differentiation if we just Surrendered Harder. Lets put this in the next Strategic Plan"

Moment of silence for the missed continental breakfast with bottomless mimosas.

who do they think is currently president?

Not so much brainstorming as rubbing those last couple functioning neurons together

I'm sorry, but Lindsay Graham is already attached to his underbelly like a remora and doesn't like competition for the scraps.

I, for one, would welcome you as a Member Of The Tribe.

Tremendous drapes, Sir.

"Stop the Mad King" seems like pretty good Midterm campaign slogan for the Dems and one that will play well coast to coast, given the Congressional majority has shown any signs of life for the better part of a year. Mike Johnson and John Thune's families should probably perform a welfare check.

It's just what Pete Hegseth's brand of Maximum Lethality from our War Fighters looks like.

Some days I'll be in my office and think about how political system decided to shred the constitution for *this guy*, and then stare blankly out the window for 15 minutes.

Trump's quote is basically indistinguishable from a line from the darkest dystopian cyberpunk novel you can imagine.

The fact that they haven't completely cut us loose already speaks to how much the US holds up the whole system because we've beyond earned it.

We have toddlers in charge of the world's most powerful military. I've come to terms with the fact Americans will pay the price for our horrible choices, but the cost the rest of the world will pay will be a permanent badge of dishonor we must wear.

Also possible that US/ISR break Iran's infrastructure/government capacity with air power, declare victory, and everyone else tries to put the pieces back together in the face of massive human suffering.

He's awful.

The international system cannot function as designed as long as the US operates as a rogue state. Either the US gets its domestic house in order and we get some adults in charge that can try to repair the damage, or the international system will rebalance against us.
