He knows Trump will be dead soon and he’ll have to campaign on something that doesn’t involve living room furniture and seething hatred for brown people.

A War Still in Search of a Mission Changing your mind about the goals of war after you’ve started one is never a good idea

Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Attorney General Bondi thinks she can play hide-and-go-seek with the Epstein Files, but the law is clear and mandatory.

She must release the Files in their entirety so we can end this massive coverup and elite protection for predators.

Imagine how Americans would react if Iran bombed an American Elementary School and killed 170 children.

You expect Iranians to react any differently?

We’re literally making more people hate America and Americans.

🚨 Republicans spent years screaming about Benghazi (4 deaths) and Afghanistan (13 deaths) — demanding investigations, hearings, and outrage.

But now, after reports of 168 elementary school girls and 14 teachers killed in a bombing, the silence from the same voices is deafening.

We warn fellow members of the Muslim community that at some point the GOP would return to demonizing Muslims. The GOP simply rotates their hate depending on need. Their hatred towards Latinos is costing them votes so now it's Muslims. Soon they will be back to LGBTQ, Blacks, women and repeat.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Villeneuve toned down Baron Harkonnen because he thought Frank Herbert's character was close to being cartoonishly evil.

Trump should be a sobering reminder such creatures can, and do, exist.

The end result of an administration and media composed of sycophants. Sycophancy is weakness, not strength.

high on hubris, low on information, education and critical thinking. When an administration is based entirely on vibes and hubris, where fealty trumps (pun intended) over competence you get poor decisions.
Unfortunately none of this bothers any of them because they lack a conscience and morality.

I’m afraid you don’t have to be an expert on the Middle East, but, just someone who has some knowledge of the geography and geopolitics of the Middle East and wider economy to foresee the outcome of engaging in military action against Iran.
But, 🇺🇸 are different, especially this administration
