All of this.

I am trying to take some small snarky bit of enjoyment from Zelensky’s offer to help those targeted by Iranian drones with information/tactics they’ve learned over the last four years dealing with those Iranian and Russian drones in Ukraine. A small but satisfying burn.

Anyone else wondering what kind of tap dance will occur if Donny has to deal with Iran and Russia as allies?

How will he manage acting as owned and antagonist?

What will Vlad do?

I’m afraid this will be inevitable.

I don’t know how many of his issues are pre-stroke to feel comfortable including him post-stroke, so I didn’t really consider him?

The Iranian ship was there because India invited it to the Milan naval exercise, and under the rules it was not carrying ammunition. Despite this, a US submarine attacked and sank the defenceless ship...

WHY IS THIS NOT BEING REPORTED!!!!!!!

This sounds like a war crime to me?

Any lawyers w/expertise got ideas? We haven’t declared war, so,not,rescuing these guys (beyond the other insanity of this story!) is horrific.

Um, Special Envoy for Shield of the Americas sounds like Botox Bratz has just been given the role of β€œQueen of Condoms?”

STG, I can’t stop wondering whether it was the fucking Lewandowski (reportedly diaper Donny did not like this out in the open), or the being too nice in the hearings this week that was the tipping for firing Botox Bratz, but I am enjoying watching her fuck jet of shame: bsky.app/profile/clav...

Wow. That is a really good question, I feel like I could answer this better if I knew more about their management (Mar-Kwayne) and coaching (Potatoville) styles. It’s a pretty close tag-team stylistically speaking. But, to be fair, I think Marsha β€œrat’s nest hair” Blackburn Is in the running too.

If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

The guy on the left was arrested and convicted for illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan Administration. The guy on the right is a Fox News "military analyst" who thinks Iran shouldn't have missiles

Yes, same guy.

Y'know the thing about Noem, she's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until she bites ya.

Impoertant 🧡 explaining just how dumb, expensive, and fucked up President Epstein, Kegsbreath, and his other little toady boys are in re Iran and our limitare infrastructure.

The magazines are depleted. The Navy can’t guarantee escorts in the Strait. Raytheon is being summoned to emergency meetings. South Korea is sitting exposed. And the New York Times just put the satellite pictures on the front page.

ran didn’t just strike US bases. It mapped the communication and coordination layer that makes American missile defense function as a unified system and then it peeled it apart, base by base, across five countries simultaneously.

That’s some fucked up shit.

We burn the republican mailers for shits and giggles so I’m assuming that some bonfire material will soon be clogging the mail slot with this election.

Welp. I hadn’t yet seen that locallt, but I’m now more informed to explain exactly why this guy is fucked in the head to fellow Georgia voters? Aluminum linings? (as opposed to silver).

My brain keeps seeing β€œplaying for kegs.”

Followed by the term β€œwarfighters,” it checks out.

I’m just gonna imagine it is actually Colin Jost saying this shit so I don’t even mentally hear Kegsbreath.

Meet Lariocidin: A Game-Changing Antibiotic That Outsmarts Resistance The study reveals lariocidin, a potent ribosome-targeting antibiotic, with unique mechanisms that could combat drug-resistant bacterial infections effectively.

First discovered last year, a lasso-shaped peptide called lariocidin kills bacteria in a way that’s never been seen before - and because its germ-killing mechanism is new, something bacteria haven’t had time to adapt to, it’s awesome in the fight against drug-resistant microbes. AZO

Feels like this regime is always suffering from a combination of people who just don’t even consider flow-on effects and people who want to pretend they are in a world where we are not interconnected and flow-on effects are invisible to them b/c they don’t believe in them. Enperor’s cloths shit.

In addition to this being grotesque, my brain keeps getting stuck on the caption.

The word order can be read (my brain is doing this) as to suggest that the dog walker is also Trump’s (Trump adviser, (T) dog walker, (T) former lobbyist, and others).

Brain said, β€œdog walke, he hates dogs!”
