NYT: In plunging into a mideast conflict, Trump gambles his presidency.

What does “gambles his presidency” mean? What does he have to lose?

This is going to get worse after the buyout.

Sorry John Oliver I'm going to have to cancel my HBO subscription.

You couldn’t make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

Wild to say this after years of carnage in Gaza and bombing a school in Iran

Pentagon Destroys Trump’s Main Defense on Iran Strikes It turns out President Trump’s rationale for striking Iran isn’t true.

Pentagon Destroys Trump’s Main Defense on Iran Strikes

It turns out President Trump’s rationale for striking Iran isn’t true.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

Hegseth : Just a clueless MF’er!

Mamdani’s Small Business Czar Wants Economic Justice for Workers As Small Business Services commissioner, Kenny Minaya will be charged with slashing fees and helping street vendors.

NEW: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will appoint Kenny Minaya, a lawyer and longtime city official, as commissioner of the Department of Small Business Services on Monday, New York Focus has learned.

It’s clear from his interview in NYT that Trump has no clue and, like Venezuela, just plans to keep a gun to the head of any leadership in Iran, which he’s set on installing.

This of course cant work long-term in either place, let alone short-term. And it will be hell for the next US president.

6 voters react to Attacks on Iran Ahead of Texas Primaries.

Fucking New York Times.

Wants to find out what a few voters think, so they go to Texas, because I guess it’s the only place that matters in the U.S.--all of whom voted for Trump.

“What do Americans think of Mr. Trump’s decision to attack Iran? “

Last time i checked there was a Dem primary too.

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/46ybyTg

To sum up Hegseth and Gen. Caine presser:

We don’t have timeline -- 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, whatever.

Contradicting Trump, Hegseth said it’s not about regime change, but neither he nor Caine offers goal or end game.

U.S. is sending addition forces, Caine says.

Yep, there’s no plan at all.

Politico screenshot “Out of control: “Inside the Pentagon, and among some members of the Trump administration, there was deepening concern Sunday that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control, said people familiar with the situation. ‘The mood here is intense and paranoid,’ one person said. There is anxiety among senior leaders that the fighting will extend for weeks, further stressing limited U.S. air defense stockpiles, people familiar with the situation said.” Yet Trump himself has now made clear that he expects four to five weeks of military action, which poses the question — does America have the stomach for a long and painful campaign? Among the concerns being raised is the challenge posed by Iran’s mass-produced Shahed drones, which are cheap for the regime to keep building and flying — and upon which the U.S. and its allies are already expending large numbers of expensive (and rapidly depleting) interceptors.”

““Out of control: “Inside the Pentagon, and among some members of the Trump administration, there was deepening concern Sunday that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control … ‘The mood here is intense and paranoid,’”

Again even @playbookdc.bsky.social can’t spin Trump’s illegal Iran chaos.

Headines just now: More Troops, Widens, Widens, Spirals -

Just assuming the epic fury at Biden for the tragic American deaths withdrawing from a war will not be matched for starting one.

Their Monarchy Is Acting More Republican Than Our Republic Britain sacrifices their spoiled lecherous prince to save the institution. America sacrifices the institution to save our spoiled lecherous prince.

Britain sacrifices their spoiled, lecherous prince to save the institution.

Oh, Trump despises liberal democracy in Iran as much as he despises it in the USA.

The best part of Satan tormenting Trump for all eternity will be that Roy Cohn, Jeff Epstein, and Trump's dad will all be there to watch.

Impeach Trump & Hegseth.
Draft Lindsey Graham & Barron.

Why won’t the Nobel Prize committee recognize this peaceful man?

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said, but rules of engagement are for the safety of our troops as much as they’re for protecting civilian lives. Fucking idiot children running the joint.

Opposition to this war is overwhelming. These flaccid bastards need to understand that or they need to be kicked out of leadership.

Again, I implore you to grasp how much of our foreign policy is basically a bunch of crazed Christian fanatics trying to fulfill their deranged prophecies.

US intel did not suggest a preemptive strike from Iran before US-Israeli attacks, AP sources say Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings that U.S. intelligence did not suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the U.S.

WOW: Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings Sunday that U.S. intelligence did NOT suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the U.S. So another GOP war based on lies!! apnews.com/article/iran...
