Trump says the U.S. will be “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” and shooting Iranian boats out of the water to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, while claiming Iran’s military has been “100% destroyed” (not true). He also called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the U.K. to send warships.
Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”
Now he’s begging them for help.

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
Why does Trump need allies to help him in a war he’s already won?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani hit the court at Marcus Garvey Park, sinking a three with Knicks’ Mohamed Diawara after sharing Iftar at Harlem’s beloved Senegalese spot, Keur Yayeu Dara
Trump has made the United States a pariah state
Why does Trump need NATO to help in a war they declared a resounding victory already?
He’s flailing. He’s leading the country—and the world—toward catastrophe. When incompetence mixes with arrogance, the result is dangerous for everyone.
Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.
But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

Pam Bondi swore an oath to the Constitution—not to Donald Trump.
She’s betraying that oath every single day.
Impeachment is the only answer—the rule of law depends on it. Tell Congress now:
WorldAtlas.com has released its list of “The 10 Driest Cities in Canada”, half of which are in Alberta. Included are Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton.

Oh, Donny, didn't that fancy military reform school teach you there's no I in team? You burned all our allies, told them you didn't need them. Now your ass is in a sling.

Soulless.
It’s hard to believe we had to fight so hard to do dna testing in a case in which we were paying for the testing and where the results could provide answers for so many, but it’s a good example of how much resistance we face to expose truths. This fight helps us honor the dying wish of our client.
Take the complete and utter lack of empathy and couple it with "walking around without legs" and you clearly have a President who is not capable of performing his job. Not that he was ever capable, but if the R's weren't so corrupt, he would have been 25th'd a long time ago.
“The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.”
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower
