"I can go long and take over the whole thing, or end it in two or three days and tell the Iranians: 'See you again in a few years if you start rebuilding [your nuclear and missile programs]," Trump said in a five-minute phone interview from Mar-a-Lago.

“All I want is freedom for the people,” Trump said in a brief phone interview shortly after 4 a.m., when asked what he hopes his legacy will be as a result of the military action and a push for regime change in Iran.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Trump doesn't give a crap about democracy- in Iran, in Venezuela, in Ukraine, in Cuba, in Russia

Or in the United States

He wants power, he wants oil, he wants to see people die on his orders because he is a sociopath.

That's it.

Call me cynical, but I stopped wondering some time back

Trump co-invested with the IRG in Trump Tower Baku.

Not sure it’s relevant. Not sure it isn’t.

Murdering civilians overseas is not a distraction, it's not about money or airtime or domestic policy or the crimes of individuals. It's war crimes. It matters enough of its own to say stop without refocusing on anything else.

Shumer:Israel::Trump:Russia

So many of us warned that Donald Trump is a dangerous, reckless pathological liar who can’t be trusted except to take actions that enrich himself and save his own skin. This war will not distract us from demanding he be held accountable for his Epstein involvement & violations of our Constitution.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Apparently there is no need to choose between launching a criminal war of aggression and having an epic weekend.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

You’d think threading the needle between supporting people who are enthusiastically supporting genocide (like some leading Centrist Dems) and people with Totenkopf tattoos would be easier.

I’m thinking more of ex-Obama staffers. And the longtime Dem consultants who discovered and polished him up.

But thanks for playing.

Super weird that in the hours before bombing Iran, SECDEF was spending his time picking a fight with an AI company.

We used to have one of those deals. Some readers might wonder what happened to it.

That is something that should have been in this story as context.

But somewhere along the way American journalism just gave up on the “why”. Which is the most important part of journalism.

You’ve become hacks. 👎🏼

I’d like to say the Democrats don’t want an SS tattoo guy in their “club”, but unfortunately every time this MFer is mentioned I get reminded that isn’t entirely true.

Given that LLMs are known to hallucinate *and* it’s foreseeable that people might mistakenly rely on it instead of a real doctor, I would argue their behavior has been negligent. Perhaps grossly so.

And yet if we had and office pool on who it would have been, she would have been the favorite.

Because pattern recognition is a thing and we’ve been watching the GOP project, propagandize, and weaponize congressional inquiry for decades now.

That band’s best song is “the Day the Nazi died”.

Not sure why that came to mind.

But it has talked kids into suicide and OpenAI is cool with the military using it for targeting and the government using it for mass surveillance.

I don’t think one should give the benefit of the doubt to known malicious actors.

Some of it wasn’t satire but rather was cautionary.

Like since about 1865

the most notable part of the far right buying up legacy news media is that liberals generally always trusted legacy media far more, aside from places like fox news. the downstream effect of this, maybe intentionally, is to have more people distrust media. misinformation will spread easier

Netflix drops out of bidding after WBD deems Paramount’s takeover bid ‘superior’ | CNN Business Netflix said Thursday afternoon that it has “declined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a “superior” offer.

There goes CNN into the clutches of Bari Weiss and Scott Jennings: state media for the authoritarians. This is fucked.

I hear you. My mom grew up without a father because he gave his life fighting Fascism.

No shit. The point could have been made without signal boosting an antisemite.

But SS tattoo guy chose to do it that way. For some reason.

was?

Brady Tkachuk miffed over White House AI-doctored video Brady Tkachuk said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.

If you're not a hockey person, what happened here is that one of the MAGA-est dudes in the NHL just got used and embarrassed by Trump because no amount of kissing Trump's ass is enough to make him respect you or hesitate to humiliate you for his own entertainment.
