Sounds about right, Neil and FT commenter.

Good morning. New highs in Crude Oil. Someone let Karoline Leavitt know.

The resulting frustration amps up our ugliest tendencies and the next thing you know, we’re killing one another in blind fury.

There’s nothing “epic” about it.

So many of our necessary systems—from healthcare to daily commuting—are human constructs that have become so complex, expensive and difficult to access that we give up hope.

It’s almost like humanity is a species with a deadly and rapidly advancing chronic disease.

“I though we the American people were better than that”

HAHAHAHAHA

Everything feels wrong, as if an evil fog has blanketed the earth and settled into the cracks. Now we wait for what’s next.

My god what an awful timeline.

And probably not real human beings.

Dear Company Behind This Ad (Boden): Fuck you.

I just turned off Mike Johnson's feeble attempt to justify Operation Epic Fail (or whatever the hell it's called) and all I can think about is that the Speaker's look and demeanor would be exactly the same if he were addressing the country after Trump defecated on top of the Resolute Desk.

I love this account.

James for the win!

WTF!

OUTSTANDING commentary.

Not to mention the droves of money we saved since DOGE fired Every. Single. Person. who has the know-how to fix all the things this admin has broken.

Dear Every Human Being Within Earshot:

This is what it looks like when a global superpower goes bad. Enjoy the show in real time. No one is coming to save you.

And for anyone who's bored with the Iran War and the burgeoning war in Ecuador, here's a thumbnail description of funding for Trump's civil war right here in America.

Just saw this after posting. JFC

Hard to believe that just two months ago we were kidnapping the president of Venezuela and the world was up in arms about that.

Tracking the news of Trump's horrific reign is like trying to chase after a two-year-old who's gleefully wielding a hammer.

Opinion | The Trump Doctrine is here. It ends forever wars. Like Reagan, the president has found a way to change the world without putting boots on the ground.

If anyone else needs context, here it is. This is a 3/3/26 WaPo opinion piece.

What we know about the U.S. service members killed in the Iran war Six U.S. service members are reported to have been killed in Iranian counterattacks. Four died in a drone strike against a port in Kuwait, the military said.

They did not die for America.
They died for Donald Trump.

Video: American Jets Shot Down by ‘Friendly Fire’ in Kuwait The United States Central Command said that three American fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses while they were taking part in the campaign against Iran. All six crew members...

Remember how everyone thought the Russians would button up the Ukraine conflict in a matter of weeks, but then it turned out Putin's armed forces weren't all they were cracked up to be?

I wonder what we'll discover about Trump & Hegseth's military prowess over the coming days/weeks.

The United States of America is failing.

While Trump/MAGA is leading the charge, we are all culpable and we will all pay the price for this unspeakable mess.

Those service members did not die for America.
They died for Donald Trump.

Poor ol' Pammie ...

Ladies and Gentlemen .... I am happy to report that our hero has finally broken through the wall!!

Dow drops 1,200 points as oil surges, bond yields climb in response to deepening Iran conflict: Live updates Traders watched rising geopolitical tensions and worried the U.S.-Iran conflict could go on longer than anticipated.

PAGING PAM BONDI ...

The human animal is diverting vast reserves of life-sustaining resources from itself to what is essentially a replicate* of the species. The hubris is jaw-dropping.

*not sure if that's the best word, but y'all get the picture.

I'm starting to think the Bad Guys won, Tom. I'm starting to think they won a long time ago.
