"I will have American boots on the ground by the end of next week" Netanyahu told the press gaggle aboard Israeli Air Force One.

Despite the dangling thumb, I note that Trump's salute is better than J.D.'s.

At least the first Bush actually understood what war is about from personal experience, so I give him some credit for that.

People just don't want to believe the cosmic truth in the old saying that shit happens.

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."

See Humpty Dumpty on what words mean.

I think Trump is seriously ill and being kept going by his minders and his meds. He's in no shape to be making serious decisions -- but serious decisions are being made. So the question is: who's really making them?

And they never cease to give the MAGA a tingle in their leg.

Unless the Republican Guard decides to go down in a blaze of glory with something that is well within their means should they decide to pursue it.

The Trump administration can easily "play the courts" for the next three years, and they know it. That's what he's doubling down on.

If there was an prize for Dumb Trump would win and George Bush would be the first runner-up.

"No way!"
"Way"

No

Two words: dirty bomb.

Saying "when you go to war" is basically a "fuck you" to the House and Senate. But the majorities in both the House and the Senate are too thick to get the insult.

Coming soon: The Trump Inn

A sense of irony is a terrible thing to waste...

I'm dismissing all classes
for the day, but before we leave I would like to ask each of you to join me in a moment of silence for Kristi Noem and her dear memory."

I'd sort of expect anybody named "Markwayne" to have some pretty deep-rooted problems.

But the real point here is that no matter who Trump fires, the Republicans will always have ten or more far worse people to put in their place.

The brakes aren't going to reconstruct the destroyed East wing.

The National Trust was asleep at the switch.

The Congress was too, but nobody had any reason to expect otherwise in their case.

Vance isn't being humiliated. He is staying out of the line of fire, avoiding as best he can any situation or position that he might be held to account for in '28. There's no advantage for him to be taking point on anything right now. That could change of course.

No, no they aren't.

Sen. Cornyn doesn't brag in his campaign ads that he votes the way Trump tells him to 99% of the time without understanding Texas political reality.

Paxton is the only wild card. And he's not only red, but as crooked as Trump himself.

Both are "business friendly."

Real MAGA would say: well played, Trump family!

The good news is that they're all going to die just like the rest of us, and they can't take it with them either.

"Weapons of mass destruction" -- a Republican classic.

👍

Leave the kid alone. He's no more responsible for his parents than we are and obviously lost the lottery when God picked his.

I think you're giving the Trump administration too much credit for actually having some idea of what they're trying to accomplish.

Nobody in the Trump administration gives a shit about the law. They have power. I think I read that there are now over 100 court rulings against the Trump administration that are still simply being ignored.

"Is working" vs. "Had done the work well in advance.

My God what a joke.

I wonder who MOSAD has armed -- so far?
