Stephanie; We Are All Good & Pretti 🌻

“This sucks” is the alt-text on that photo?

So “We are so screwed” is the bottom line for this war?

So I gather that the takeaway from the classified briefing to lawmakers about #DoltsKrieg is, to quote Astronaut John Creighton, “We are so screwed.”

Talk about quaffing his own Kool-Aid. I’d break my fingers before voting for him.

Too bad they can’t sue for malpractice.

Yeah, well, he’s no Roosevelt, himself.

I can understand why he would do that, but it does make him seem like a cowardly lion.

No shit, but good luck telling that to Republicans. Willful ignorance is their touchstone.

At least Donnie won’t have to learn a new name…..

I think Israel has seriously screwed the pooch, this time. Jews killing a major Shia religious leader is the sort of thing that can reverberate for decades, if not generations.

Hell, the Christians still blame us for killing Jesus. (2,000 years, dudes! Get over it, already.)

Al Stewart, "Nostradamus":

Oh, the more it changes, the more it stays the same,
And the hand just rearranges the players in the game.

Ninety million people live in Iran, in a region awash with military-grade personal weapons. Yeah, sending in troops to secure things will go well.

Besides #Doltskrieg, I also like #ClownShoeWar or The War of the Clown Shoes.

I’ve also tried to explain to people that oil is a global commodity and regardless of how much we drill, the price is affected by what happens in the rest of the world.

People refuse to believe it. It either means that I am a bad teacher or they are stupid. Or both.

As I watch footage of explosions in Beirut and dust clouds towering above apartment blocks in Tehran, I keep coming back to something that I witnessed back in the summer of '04, during my first tour in Iraq. But first, let's start with a question:

Have you ever heard someone wail?

Dark Winds, season four: a sign at a gas station gave the price of 35.9 cents for regular, 42.9 cents for premium.

“The Jews made us do it”… that’s their excuse for this clusterfuck of a war?

George Conway got to the nub of the matter with his tag #Doltskrieg for this war is stupid beyond belief.

Admiral Painter was right.

The Ukrainian strategy? They’re likely firing off SRBNs on a “use it or lose it” basis. But shooting Shaheeds at oil infrastructure is coming soon.

I so want to use the r-word to describe the chuckleheads responsible for this war.

I hope Rubio finds that he got a good price for selling his political soul to Trump.

Yes, they lied. They claimed an Iranian attack was imminent.

Took two days for that lie to fall apart.

It’s Time.

Any reporter worth their salt will have a previous engagement. Trump should look over a sea of empty tables.
