At this point, because of his bullying and disrespect for all former allies, no former ally would want to help. And, like China and Russia, they would love to see him fail. This is how lack of emotional intelligence can be fatal - even if you have a lot of bombs.
Also how stupid and unable to imagine how he is seen by others.
If you don't like the math just change the formula. Voila - no more inflation.
People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.
Brendan Carr is not seeing enough lies being dutifully repeated à la Fox News and wants more MAGA propaganda.
Still no real explanation of how this horrible tragedy occurred.
What are they waiting for? Someone with an itchy trigger finger having a weekend urge to start a nuclear war? Has everyone gone mad?
Nobody has ever seen a regime with so many obvious conflicts of interest.
"DOJ" acts (unethically) as personal counsel for the President not We the People.
Conflicts of Wittkop and Kushner make them impure agents of USA in acting as pre war negotiators with Iran.
Congress - where are you?
Why does the media keep talking about the Iran war as if the main problem was that there was not an explanation? An explanation is only worth something if it is honest - and not based on lies, (see Iraq.) The real problem is that we have a stupid and corrupt regime unlawfully causing chaos.
Why does the media echo chamber keep
talk about the Iran war as if the main problem was that there was not an explanation? An explanation is only worth something if it is honest - and not based on lies, see Iraq. The real problem is that we have a stupid and corrupt regime doing whatever it wants.
The constant talk about not having "sold" the war makes it sound like if some lies had been told in advance that made it sound okay, it would have been fine with everyone. Doesn't this miss the point? One man decided to rain death and invite terrorism.
I imagine the reason we don't hear directly from accusers is because of non disclosure agreements in the settlement documents that may be broad enough to protect both Epstein and his friends or associates.
What we are supposedly opposing in Iran and Afghanistan we are now working towards in America. Needs to be an international women's' strike. Men are the people who cause wars and eternal strife.
This hatred of women has to stop.
Considering the number of Americans who either support or do not seriously object to the foolishness and cruelty of the regime maybe the US has reached the point where Darwin's law takes over. Devolution will not hold.
Message: We will kill the weak. But if you have a nuke you're safe. And, by the way, we love your despotic leader.
Usually when intelligent and educated people talk about "asymmetric warfare" they are talking about how hard it is, even with superior conventional forces, to defeat entrenched and determined guerrilla warfare. See, for example, Viet Nam and Afghanistan. Why, with Iran, would this be different?
But the endless supply of stupidity will continue to be free.
I find it weird to hear various media heads say things like Trump "did not make the case" to the American people for the Iran war. This assumes that there was a case to made and that, in any case, we could have believed a single word coming out of their mouths.
What happens when you have an impatient militantly ignorant person making earth shattering decisions for which he takes no responsibility?
He was once so funny I could sometimes cry laughing. Now he seems like a judgmental and thin skinned bore. What happened?
Kristi Noem was an absolute failure at DHS. A complete disgrace. But Trump’s new pick is somehow worse.
So we need everyone on board as loud as possible telling their Senators to vote no on this disaster of a nominee!
I'm convinced that Trump cheated in all 3 presidential elections he ran in and he is going to try and do it again. They will TRY to delay the mid-terms but there will be a big backlash and fight against it. They won't succeed.
This administration rushes into things without any patience or well-considered strategy. No thought of unintended consequences. Iran will bide its time. No need to "impress" with theatrics. The strategy will be to exact economic harm for as long as possible. Obvious and foreseeable.
Trump wants his administration to stand only in his shoes-Florsheim. No independent thought. Everyone must behave as if they are him.
To be respected you have to be a respectable person. That means having courage, being honest, being curious and in search of knowledge, caring about the vulnerable at least as much as you care about yourself, and being able to stand in the shoes of another.
Trump at his inaugural address: "We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."
Not even halfway in - and already a failure by his own measure.
Pete Hegseth could bolster his warrior credentials by leading the way and being on
the next oil tanker to attempt passage through the Strait of Hormuz. And to make it more fun - add some Fox friends!
Always be afraid of people who have nothing left to lose.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
