You Break It, You Own It? Not for Trump When It Comes to Iran.

Proponents of attacking Iran advocate the idea of “we break it, they own it,” rejecting U.S. responsibility for post-war consequences. Logic dictates if this applies to Trump vs Iran, then so it goes with Putin vs Ukraine - outrageous - www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

Always about personal gain:

Trump says Starmer is 'no Winston Churchill' over Iran strikes Sir Keir Starmer had refused to grant the US permission to use the Diego Garcia military base.

At least he didn’t call him Governor of the 51st state… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump uses time to speak about his plan for Iran to talk about his ambitious plan to build the WH ballroom

How long did it take for Canada’s Conservative leader PP to say what most Canadians have been saying for years? #maplemaga #editorialcartoon

Starmer suffers crushing election defeat to Green Party amid growing distrust over his leadership Labour Party finished third in a by-election, marking ‘the first time that neither Labour nor the Conservatives have been one of the top two parties’

House Democrats bringing Jeffrey Epstein survivors to Trump's State of the Union speech Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he was bringing Haley Robson as a way of "bringing accountability to the Epstein class."

These heroes deserve recognition, not a bunch of pro MAGA hockey knuckleheads www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

100%

Those are appallingly high.

Just 32% of Americans say Trump has right priorities, new poll finds, ahead of State of the Union speech – live CNN poll reveals Trump’s approval among independents at 26%; White House press secretary says speech to focus on US’s 250th anniversary and affordability concerns
