It is a fool's game to say who will end up "winning" this war. Yet, if you are the USA/Israel and planned it, started it, and more than three weeks into it are undertaking an unexpected escalation while relaxing sanctions on Iran--that is hardly a sign of victory at this time.

A total disaster and every republican in congress is complicit in aiding and abetting a mad man 😡

Too many news outlets continue to frame their coverage of POTUS as if there's a strategy, a rationale underpinning this. It's obvious there is not, and never has been - for a decade. Just his disordered, real-time reaction to tweets, Fox, late-night TV, and the Dow.

More of a toll than a tariff, but still…

The Constitution protects the acts of naming federal law enforcement agents and documenting how they behave on the streets. Under no circumstances should Congress grant this administration new legal weapons to use against Americans who do either of those things.

#Hungary is a Russian oblast trying to regain its sovereignty.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Orban is going willingly when he loses in three weeks. He will cheat, and then use lethal force on the protesters afterwards.

Embrace yourself, dear Hungarian freedom lovers. There will be blood.

Mark Wayne Muffin the mule. It’s not a name, it’s what he does.

I’m old enough to remember when the right wing lost their collective fucking minds over a few folks having difficulty leaving Afghanistan, and that was without supersonic missiles overhead.

They're helping SOME Americans... 🤬

That's what our tax dollars are paying for, folks: a level of surly incompetence that wouldn't be tolerated in a night cashier at a Piggly Wiggly.

If the child-raping senile fascist dictator had been helping Ukraine defend its people and its Democracy as it should have, we already would have this expertise and the means to effect it.

But, Trump is Putin's little kompromat bitch, so American Service Members are going to die unnecessarily. 8647

There is, alas, a particular type of Hispanic guy who thinks the key to being accepted as an honorary white is performatively demonstrating how super cool he is with cartoonish racism.

In times of chaos, Europe is the muddled power the world needs In praise of the dreaded European working group

”In an age of blood-soaked realpolitik, Europe stands out. Yes, it is meek, a vegetarian in a world of omnivorous geopolitical rivals. [But i]f it is a sin to think that rules matter, the world could do with a few more sinners… the relative sanity found in Europe is a kind of defiance.”

97% of Senate Democrats voted to end the war.

This is Politico acting as an organ of Trump, wishcasting what Republicans want you to think Democrats are doing. And regrettably, some folks will still fall for it.

Pentagon identifies two soldiers killed in Iran war The Pentagon on Wednesday identified two more soldiers who were killed in the war ​against Iran.

Part way through this Kristie Nome realizes that the Nuremberg movie with Russel Crowe is about her

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN was killed in Kuwait while serving our country. She was an avid gardener who made salsa from peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son. She also loved rollerblading and bicycling with her daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. 🙏

Uh.

You cannot be more traditionalist than the last three generations, that is not what "traditionalist" means.

Just say "misogynist", it's the correct descriptor

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

This is the letter US senators sent requesting an official investigation into DOJ leadership blocking a civil-rights probe into the killing of Renee Good. The letter asks the Justice Department’s IG and Office of Professional Responsibility to determine who ordered the investigation stopped and why.

A visit to a hospital in China, and the process that this woman patient went through. And in USA, you have shit except for the emergency services, and compare the price that you would have to pay
It is fucking ridiculous that you guys don’t have healthcare🤬😡🤯

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield — Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.
