How Pedro Sánchez became Donald Trump’s nemesis in Europe Spain’s premier tells US president what no other European leader dares to say but some say he has miscalculated

“It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are incapable of fulfilling that duty use the smoke of war to hide their failures and, in the process, line the pockets of a few — the only ones who win when the world stops building hospitals to start making missiles.”—Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Maybe we just start pretending mRNA doesn't exist yet and clamor for a Warpspeed 2 (appealing to a certain someone's gigantic ego) and then "discover" that the lessons of Warpspeed can be applied to this new task and just give that dude all the credit for it.

would be cool if we had some sort of, i dunno, nimbler platform to more quickly create flu vaccines that match circulating strains, someone should look into that

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

Relentless fascist bullshit across the board. These folks know they have a very short runway to achieve their many sick goals and are "flooding the zone," to confuse and divide the opposition.

WSJ Breaking News Trump is preparing to fire Kristi Noem, advisers say now

BREAKING NEWS: We have employed the f-word.

Aren't we all? And we need to start laying blame on the Democrats for letting this happen again, and again, and again.

Are they incompetent? Or does this cycle serve them?

I didn't say it didn't happen.

And, by the 1800's it was full-scale, thoroughgoing ethnic cleansing campaign, and for many, the pursuit of a genocide of the entire native population.

As I understand it, the smallpox pandemic brought to the Americas by the Spanish had spread all the way to the east coast, and so many native Americans had died just prior to the time of English colonialism that there was little "need" for slaughter.

I think it took a little time to start the slaughter, but that was more a "lucky" accident than because of any moral qualms on the side of the colonists.

The incompetence of the Iran War rollout is just stunning.

Rubio says "Israel dragged us into this war! We had no choice!"

Trump says "I dragged Israel into this war! Regime change! Iranian people, rise up!"

Just bonkers.

In the most recent cases we have been killing people to protect billionaires' way of life. And that's not outside the norm for our history since the annoucement of the Monroe Doctrine.

Old Hegseth: We aren’t fighting one of those open-ended wars without clear limits, goals, and objectives.

New Hegseth: “Metrics are shifting, dust is settling, and more forces are arriving.”

In other words: Never mind.

Warfighters has got to be a too-direct translation of some viking term, no?

A spectacle; the only thing that it's supposed to deliver...

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

The current president, too, is working out daddy issues (albeit they are in the company of many other issues).

WSJ: “.. The withheld files included Federal Bureau of Investigation notes documenting a series of interviews the woman gave to agents in 2019 in which she alleged sexual misconduct by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein when she was a minor in the 1980s ..”

Give a religion 2,000 years and all of the most lunatic possible interpretations of its teachings and values will cycle through a few times.

Well, that makes the curtain just weird...

It's an original? Maybe to reduce exposure to light?

If young men are pro crypto right now, who wants them on their side?

But, I'd bet they're pretty sour on it...

Analysis: The rationale for striking Iran was already a mess. Trump just made it worse. | CNN Politics The Trump administration’s stated justifications for going to war with Iran were already a jumbled and self-contradictory mess before the president’s latest comments Tuesday.

"Rubio’s explanation made it sound a little like Israel was the tail wagging the dog —the that US was having its decisions about going to war dictated by an ally."

4 days & this shi*t show jsut gets even worse. 6 troops are dead, Americans stranded in the middle east & gas prices are jumping.

Trump is lying.

I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.

There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

The Three Stooges Theory of Scandal Immunity strikes again: There’s SO MUCH naked corruption being flaunted on a daily basis that I doubt most voters will ever even hear about this one, even though it would be a massive, career-ending story in a normal administration.

I thought the Kurds and ISIS were deeply mutually antagonistic; it seems unlikely the Kurds would want to arm an org that wants them eliminated.

His ability to fly from Cincinnati to Cleveland to Toledo & back to Cincy on his personal jet shows not only his obscene wealth but that he doesn’t have to worry about construction in Columbus, potholes in Cleveland, nor the Ohio State Hwy Patrol pulling him over for being brown on I80/I90 or I75.

Their philosophy is that the truth is whatever they say it is, when they say it. And it's sometime else then minutes later when they say that something else.
