It was not his father but his grandfather, who had to leave Bavaria because he dodged military service.

Trump is an idiot.

Trump is an idiot.

“It happened very quickly” is what you say when you impulse buy patio furniture, not when American lives are at stake.

I need to stress something here:

The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.

I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

Let’s talk Iranian war.

You’ve probably seen a lot of hand-wringing over missile interceptor quantities. Are we running out? Can we fight for years?

As usual, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Bottom line up front: interceptors are a finite resource. That’s a fact.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Federal judge says Trump administration can't kill NYC's congestion pricing tolls The order undermines President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign promise to "TERMINATE" congestion pricing.

Love to see it.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

Trump Says ‘Unlimited’ Weapons Stockpiles Mean Wars Can Be Fought ‘Forever’ The president’s remarks appeared to be a bid to push back against concerns about the U.S.’s weapon stockpile levels as the conflict with Iran escalates.

Trump campaigning: “We need to end forever wars.”

Trump careening out of control amid record-high disapproval and all things Epsteinian: “We could do this war thing forever!”

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

SENATOR @gallego.senate.gov : “We’re all paying for this. We’re cutting Medicaid to pay for those bombs… They’re following Netanyahu— who literally just told us he’s been trying to do this for 47 years. I know. I suffered the first attempt at this in 2005.”

The Republican Party of PAB is cowering under tables.

They will NOT do their Constitutional duty.

We must elect people who will.

We will VOTE.

FOR DEMOCRATS.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

The latest “explanation” for the war, this time from Rubio:

- we knew Israel was going to attack Iran

- we figured Iran would retaliate against us, coz we’re Israel’s bitch

- so we attacked Iran first

Has anyone asked Cy Vance or the Manhattan DA's office what happened to their investigation of Leon Black? Has anyone asked former SDNY prosecutors about it? Black lent money to Kushner and went to Russia with Trump and Matt Calamari. Might be kind of important.
