He’s a few (several) cards short of a full deck.

IRAQ WAR GENERAL: "I was in Iraq... There will be an insurgency. Our troops will be much easier targets for extremists. Many will be killed in action or wounded. It will become more and more difficult to get out." - Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton

It's a concept of a threat.

We don’t want ballrooms and golden drapes and wars with no plans. We want health care, affordable living, and to protect our environment and planet.

So predictable. I posted this yesterday: "We blow up schools, murder children, inflame anti-American sentiment overseas then stuff our cakeholes at the poolside prime rib bar." bsky.app/profile/bobc...

Decades of tips, millions of pages, and two people charged? The NYT lays out how #Epstein got his sweetheart deal while prosecutors never bothered to interview his billionaire pals. UK makes arrests; US makes excuses.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

And the message in our media was that Trump was the America First peace / no wars president and that Kamala is a "neocon" interventionist. Thanks, media, for driving us into fascism. 👍 🤦🏼‍♂️

He is relishing in the idea that they are all dead - that our attack was so powerful it killed lots of unintended targets. 🤦🏼‍♂️ It's firing his malignant narcissistic endorphins. We were told that a key trait of malignant narcissists is sadism - a delight in death and destruction, & here we are folks.

Haven't we been here before though? They always seem to come back to Dear Leader. They're just trolling for clicks and relevance.

being extorted to give Trump what he wants for fear of death and destruction. We used to at least think of ourselves as a more or less benevolent superpower (with obvious shortcomings in reality), but even that's out the window now. It's more like open season for raping and pillaging.

It's basically extorting foreign countries with murder & destruction, with the goal of getting favors for Trump himself, personally or politically. The ultimate mob boss presidency. There's no real consideration for the people in these countries. In Venezuela it's the same regime, just one that's /1

Yes, the casual disregard for human life is revolting. If it's not us or it's people who are regarded as subhuman or it's so remote to us, it might as well be a TV show. But somewhere it's real devastating life that is inconceivably awful and gruesome.

Maybe if the attack knocked out most of the "candidates" it wasn't so successful after all? 🤔 The casual disregard for human life is nauseating.

Nobel Peace prize, maybe not, but FIFA Peace Prize, perhaps? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Zendaya, Alysa Liu, Kamala Harris, Oakland represent!

With Trump's cabinet now officially a clown car of corrupt scandals and utter incompetence, even serious experts like Larry Sabato and Tara Setmayer are warning that the consequences are coming, and this time, there's no sober adults left to save us.

None of them have any idea what they're doing. They need to get their boss in Moscow on the call.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Measles outbreaks are costing the U.S. millions of dollars. The true losses can't be counted. As vaccination rates decline, the economic consequences will increase, research suggests.

If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health.

If they had more room, Rush Limbaugh would be up there.

We are redeemable but only if we can turn the tide against the RW overtaking our information environment. The country is pickled in propaganda, and it can’t heal unless that somehow gets fixed. But the problem’s getting worse by the minute.

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna have Americans dying, and the end result is going to be hard line leadership continues in Iran and we don't get rid of their nuclear program. That's a moral and strategic disaster for the country."

Trump getting U.S. service members killed in a war the vast majority of Americans oppose is frankly all we should be talking about right now.

At a minimum, it should be treated with the same level of shock, outrage and discourse that the right fomented after Benghazi and the Afghanistan withdrawal.

“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.

So preventing Iran from being the largest state sponsor of terrorism is the president’s (our) goal but it’s not his job to make sure it happens? 🤷‍♂️

Yes, please, let's ban this. It's ridiculous. It's naked corruption.
