This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Now comes the ritual humiliation of NFL players. Just a few people speaking out in defense of their own dignity would make a big difference here.

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes.

Corporate Media will choose not to ask anyone in Regime about this or report on it, because it is too obviously insane, so there is no way to sanewash it.

Spectacular movie

This is absurd but I can't wait for the 2034 anniversary IMAX rerelease

They should actually release it biennially - it would sell out, zero problem

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

I've seen a few folks actually ask if Stanley will be better than Metsa

I've no idea myself ofc. General thoughts?

A disgraceful fall from grace for the Paralympics, which had been a relative moral leader vs the IOC.

"Dilletantentish moonshot" - some people actually noticed she didn't really have a campaign

And not the skeet below, but bcz of that they wondered if she was actually trying to win

One theory is that it was a to raise some money (grift might be a more cynical term)

Some of the quotes and information in the article are staggering. They just presumed they were going to win

Many of the quotes in the article are staggering

They explain that their thinking was, presume we're going to win the primary, and *then* get a real campaign going

Article says that she presumed she'd win the primary and then would start to organize a more formal campaign

Seemed like he was but pretty clear from the info in this article that was indeed the case

bsky.app/profile/mdot...

"Crockett planned to get around the state more after she secured the nomination"

“To her own admittance, Crockett wanted to run a campaign that was different. It was very untraditional. In many ways experimental.

We would now say the experiment did not work.”

"You actually have to have a real campaign operation"

"It was my understanding that all these things would happen after the primary, and now it appears that it’s not going to happen at all.”

Some of these quotes are amazing

"From the start, Crockett’s team deprioritized the primary race, confident that her name recognition and reputation as a fighter in Congress would be impossible for Talarico to catch up with, and would carry her to the general election."

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Holy smokes! Awesome

Can I ask, where is the red picture, what part of the map? Can't recall an area like that at all

And for getting a bird's eye view shot, is that via a mod?

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

RUSSIA GETS:
-Higher oil prices
-Reduced US economic pressure
-Bogged down US military
-Air defense assets not sent to Ukraine

US GETS:
-Indefinite war in pursuit of undefined outcome
-Weaker economy
-Frayed international partnerships
-Combat deaths

A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says it’s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.

Hate being critical, and hopefully I’m wrong, but hard to see this as anything but a negative

+ there’s a real chance these guys make us worse

+ the opportunity cost is real: we used assets on these 2 instead of a legit positive like Murphy

+ and what does this portend for future decision making?

Holy smokes I am concerned about our new regime's decision making/asset management

I need to relax - it's early days - but some dreadful decisions

Unbelievable 😣
