Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

U.S.-made Launcher Fired Missiles From Bahrain Toward Iran, Video Shows

A US-made HIMARS launcher was filmed firing missiles at Iran from Bahrain. Most other Gulf states have denied that the US has launched attacks from its soil against Iran. Bahrain has remained silent on this question.

How Hegseth Came to See Moral Purpose in War as Weakness

What a generous puff piece for a war criminal from the NYT

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Everyone will be quick to point out how Vietnam ended, but my favorite part of this is about how our military is somehow “leashed” under Pete Hegseth. Which just goes to show how there will always be some idiot finance bro in NYC claiming we’re fighting wars with one hand tied behind our backs.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Heartening to see the Iranian women’s soccer team given humanitarian visas. Australia can be a refuge for those fleeing persecution.

Aussie women and kids should be brought home too — no matter who their father/spouse was. Kids and mums aren’t something to kick around like a political football.

Albo's dog getting ready for the big game or some shit

He's just sent us to war, people can't afford normal things, and billionaires are encouraging the racists to go fkn nuts while we get robbed. How is this different to "Scomo's" curry, Bunnings and Sharkies posting? These pricks are popped out of the same mold in the same factory.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

ok so oil is doubling its price and we're about to run out of petrol because of that illegal war we're supporting, but Albo has avoided being called a pussy by Trump and that's worth any cost.
