We may be in the Twilight Zone when Iran's Lego meme provide a better summary of the day's news headlines than legacy news media.

Breaking news now Trump extends ceasefire with Iran, saying the country's 'fractured' leadership needs time to put forward a unified peace plan goose meme who fractured the leadership? who fractured the leadership?

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo A U.S. aid worker said that the Afghans, who were evacuated to Qatar, would face a choice between moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo and living under the Taliban.

Breaking News: President Trump is said to be in talks to send Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Behavior which does not usually lead to success at bring the opponent to the negotiation table: (1) Tweeting that they are "crazy bastards" and you will destroy their civilization; (2) Telling the media that they have already agreed to your demands; (3) capturing their vessel during a cease fire.

NYT article "constantly suggests that Democrats are the ones behaving badly by trying to offset Trump’s map rigging. Oh, this is such a sad development on both sides... Republicans had a good reason to be happy with gerrymandering, so they get a pass." But it's shocking when Dems do it.

Hegseth: If you have the flu, you didn't do enough push ups and pull ups.

Oh yeah, it's not a great idea to call people "crazy bastards" and expect them to accomodate your interests. Mid East national security reporter: middle eastern leaders hate humiliating language.

I have some skepticism of reports that the military hid nuclear codes from Trump; but a tense discussion may have occurred. Trump's insistence on testing nuclear weapons is concerning. Hard to avoid the conclusion that Trump wants to see nuclear explosions. How dangerous is this imbecile?

Under Biden, the U.S. nuclear negotiation team included scientists and experts. But Trump only sends Kushner and Witkoff who believe that real estate negotiating skill is all that is needed. No knowledge of nuclear weapons are needed to close deals.

I suppose we were too hard on Germany with all those inconvenient Nuremburg trials.

Dems in danger of a circular firing squad.

Thiel and the Tech Bros keep coming up with bad ideas. Like siccing an AI powered justice system on critical journalists. Retired intelligence investigators would feed their findings into AI. What could go wrong?

Gaslighting of epic proportion.
Sure US war policy is aimed at destroying oil risk premiums. (If you believe that...I've got a bridge to sell you.)

Good article. Aides distract Trump by showing him montages of "blowing stuff up," and when the ceasefire starts, blowing up small boats resume and provide more snuff films. The media normalizes Trump's actions as rational decision making, accepting ex post rationales.

A 30% unemployment rate would exceed the peak unemployment rate during the Great Depression. The New Deal helped bring the rate down. Is he is in favor of enacting a new form of New Deal? I doubt it.

Carter's training as a nuclear engineer facilitated his communication with the NRC about actions during the TMI Unit 2 partial core meltdown. Four days after the accident he said he had studied the event as much as he could to understand its cause and the potential exposure to Penn. residents.

It's always perplexing how highly educated people from elite universities (like Wright) can become swallowed into the Trump cult. The cult's brain washing isn't confined to uneducated morons.

Reporter asks Trump about Iran firing on ships in Strait of Hormuz. Trump gives the signal to remove her from the room, saying "Out."

So many coincidences....

The GOP is responsible for this. Their dictator dreamed up a new device to steal money from the government. This is so beyond the pale that it would have triggered automatic charges for impeachment in the past. But the GOP congress refuses to show even a modicum of concern.

Hegseth is a murderer like the Pulp Fiction character and like him he uses faux biblical quotes to make himself sound more serious.

I thought the Iranian Navy was at the bottom of the sea, according to Trump. But they have gunboats to fire on tankers? Someone is not telling the truth. Take a guess.

Rational.

EXCLUSIVE: Attorneys for Rep Jamie Raskin are asking appeals court to halt Trump Admin effort to vacate convictions of Jan 6 seditious conspiracy defendants

Raskin is trying to serve as firewall as Justice Dept & defense join forces to vacate the cases

I'm sure nothing funny going on.

Since the US sold its helium stockpile, Quatar is the major supplier. "Transit time is an important factor: If the shipment takes longer than 35 to 48 days, the liquid helium will evaporate." A shortage of helium will dramatically affect MRIs, which require helium to operate.
