Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

Anna Paulina Luna: β€œIt is not the intention of the U.S. Government to invade…Targeted strategic military strikes and invasions are two totally different things.”

@crampell.bsky.social: β€œThey’re calling it a war. The President called it a war.”

Luna: β€œStrategic strikes are not war.”

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.

β€œAside from Truth Social posts, the president has not addressed the American public since releasing the announcement of the strikes on social media. Instead, the president hosted a glitzy fundraiser at his sprawling Florida estate on Sat. night.” Donors β€œreportedly paid $1m per person to attend.”

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.

The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.
