“For the last 250 years in this country, it’s been the judges that say this is either constitutional or it isn’t…. [If] nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia,” says Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee. cbsn.ws/4bgCE3T

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

We wanted to save Iranians from the bad guys.

So we killed the bad guys.

This turned out to be unfortunate, because our plan was, after saving the Iranians from the bad guys, to pick one of the bad guys to be *our* bad guy and to leave him in charge.

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.

He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

“.. A prolonged campaign against Iran could also produce a failed state with enriched uranium, destabilize crucial oil routes, threaten Gulf allies, trigger a refugee crisis, and disrupt the global economy.”

History??

Donald Trump???

Don't forget that Trump is so profoundly ignorant of history that his chief of staff Gen. John Kelly once had to explain to him the significance of … Pearl Harbor.

A Directionless War Meets a Constitutional Crisis Welcome to the new era of Trumpism.

Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”

The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.

Why the reference to President Biden?
And why does Hogsbreath feel he has the right to call him Joe?

So disrespectful.

Wouldn't it be a relief if the head of the DOD spoke in solemn and measured tones while people are dying at our hands in the Middle East?
This isn't that.

Joe didn't start wars of choice. I think that shows he did know what he was doing.

WHERE ARE THE GROWN-UPS???

Apologies to genuine adolescents- this stage of life is necessary before ya reach adulthood.

However, this country is being run by *men* who mentally & emotionally never left their early teens. Worse, 30% of Americans thought it was a great idea.

The need to bring up Biden so often, speaks to their awareness of their own inadequacy and inability to defend their own policies.

Crybaby vibes.
