How long until Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, etc. decide these drone strikes are crippling their livelihood and demand Cheeto Mussolini and Bibi knock it the fuck off already!?!? 💥💥💥

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

We shouldn’t be so concerned that Mullin doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree

Plenty of smart, successful people never went to college

We should be concerned that Mullin is unqualified, particularly stupid and ridiculously arrogant-a dangerous combination which is unfortunately very common among MAGA

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Hey, Dr. HRC... I was so inspired by your comments on cartooning and Tom Nast, I decided I'd try to do a really good one. Thanks for all you do.

Wall to wall coverage if this happened under Biden. Sad!

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Trump is draining the US’ weapons stock. Hope there are no more enemies anywhere.

1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.

Between the environment and Social Security, I'm beginning to think that the Supreme Court giving the presidency to Dubya was a wee bit of a misstep.

But then, Al Gore did sigh loudly several times in the debates, clearly showing he did not have the temperament to drive our nation over a cliff....

Jeez, you post about fantasy baseball and Bluesky's blocking culture embraces you bigly....🤣😂

Alternately, you can draft retired players and track who says the most dipshit MAGA bullshit over the winter. John Rocker and Larry Jones are legit first-round picks in that format!

I tried the Zero SP approach two years ago and my team sucked, but that's a small sample size

JFC....

Yeah, I'm nervousAF about my two-year investment in Christopher Sanchez at $19MM in a league with 30-player rosters and a total $135MM cap (and in which you forfeit half the salary of any player you cut). I'm also starting the season with Jared Jones, Carlos Rodon, and Hurston Waldrep on the IL....

Sounds like...hell lol

Yeah, maybe the next administration should be staffed with actual experts instead of Fox News hosts, bloggers, and influencers....

Let's be honest -- he probably had it loaded with the modern-day equivalent of pox blankets

LOL, you sound like someone who only plays fantasy football due to the easier time commitment (half of my baseball leagues use weekly lineups, making it more like football, albeit with a longer season)

LOL, to be clear this is just a whinge about how much of a gamble it is choosing pitchers -- especially in an auction league where one UCL injury can really wreck your team....

Maybe fantasy baseball would be more fun if we only used offensive stats?

>>The man was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can, the agency said, adding that he was observed at the resort's north gate around 1:30 a.m. EST (0630 GMT).<<
