The strait has been a particular source of frustration. Before the U.S. went to war, Trump told his team that Iran’s government would likely capitulate before closing the strait, and that even if Tehran tried, the U.S. military could handle it, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began, according to a person in contact with the White House. Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed. A guy with a drone can shut it down, Trump has said to people, expressing belated irritation that the key waterway was so vulnerable. He has publicly oscillated between demanding support from allies to help open it and insisting that the U.S. doesn’t need or want military assistance.

These two ¶¶ more than 35 ¶¶ into an adventure in sanewashing would be the entire story if reporters cared about accountability for Trump.

Trump was warned abt Strait.
He ignored those warnings.
Now he confesses he was wrong.

"And I will prosecute them and take it all back."

WOW. That’s insane

“Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba would like a word.

Whitewashing child brides i see

So the whole thing comes down to the pope denying that Jesus was pro-war? Is this why I keep seeing reports that Leo and Trump are "feuding"? Yes, but that framing, which is all over the media, is totally wrong. Leo and Trump aren't "feuding," and Trump did not "hit back," "strike back," or "return fire" against the pope. Trump has repeatedly launched unprovoked military actions that he and his lieutenants have attempted to cloak in the language of Christian righteousness. The pope has said that Christian righteousness is incompatible with unprovoked war. Trump has publicly mocked, derided, and attacked the pope; the pope hasn't attacked Trump at all. A feud requires the participation of two people. If you say, "We should respect the sovereignty of each individual, for we are all children of God," and I say, "Fuck you, you dirty hippie," what we have is not a feud. What we have is a principled person trying to have a conversation with an asshole.

Ashby win now in play.

Jews. He’s blaming Jews.

"according to nine people familiar" is never a line you want in a story about you

Ashby can’t win the game if they don’t blow the lead first.

Not sure there exists a more unemployed statement than "you're getting owned in the comments"

65-game rule's been downgraded to a suggestion

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Never forget that the only reason they're mad at the pope for getting into "politics" is that he disagrees with theirs.

If he was saying a bunch of stupid, bigoted MAGA shit they'd love him.

OMG, it’s SourGraps for THIS?!? I cannot wait. 😂

Tweet from David Finlay that says "you're the dumbest person I know and I know Ospreay"

Still one of my favorite professional wrestling tweets 🤼‍♂️

HOWLING

Take it from a historian who has a lot more evidence at his disposal -- it is actually entirely possible for something to be mostly one person's fault. You're not required to apportion blame for everything in equal measure. Honest!

Wow Trump really threw Riley overboard, but at least she can swi— ah, well

“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

I'm not a blasphemer! I'm just an idiot who can't read the most basic of texts!

it's ... some kind of defense ...

Pope is weak on crime would be the all time funniest last post before It Happens

Periodic reminder that the president has lost his fucking mind

Gabe Kidd got legitimately hurt during the match. Wondering if this was an audible #AEWDynasty 🤼
