Sometime in the next three weeks, Trump will end this war. Why? Because he’s a coward.
Time and again, he does something dumb, then bails out once he sees the predictable consequences.
In my latest, I explore his latest stumble into idiocy in light of all the other times he’s done stupid shit.
And then God had some not-gay fun splashing around with all his not-gay friends.
Deal with that, too.
Would you trust this guy to walk your dog?
No. Iran cannot keep the US military trapped in the Gulf.
It's not up to them.
As of right now, oil is up 36% on the week. Trump doesn't have the balls to withstand this.
As soon as Trump starts feeling the heat over Iran - probably within the next two weeks - he's gonna declare victory (easy to do when you have no identifiable objective) and pull out.
As always, he got into it because he's a reckless dumbass and he'll get out of it because he's a coward.
"I could be that guy, by the way."
“If we too want to occupy the White House, we clearly need a deeply unpopular openly corrupt violently racist backstabbing off putting orange piece of shit of our own.”
Anyone who questions the Trump/Netanyahu war with Iran threatens my personal safety as an American Jew.

Unlocking this post I wrote this back in June. I think it still applies. Among other things, it lays out in detail the likely consequences of a regime collapse.
Spoiler alert: It’s not pretty.

This is true in rougly the same sense that a guy on the subway reeking of urine, screaming, and waving a knife around is “feared.”
Just a reminder that pastor Steven Furtick has never done cocaine...
I know everyone rightly hates Twitter, and they are right to, but if you want to watch my feature length documentary on the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, filmed in Kyiv during the first weeks of the war, I have uploaded it here entirely free for the next 48 hours.

Russia has waged many wars since 1991. Only this one is genocidal. Thus arises the obvious question: Why? What makes Ukraine different?
In this piece from 2024, I offered an answer.
Yep.
At this late date, any dude who spends inordinate amounts of time attacking LGBTQ+ people should immediately get the side-eye.
40 years ago tomorrow, Filipinos ousted a dictator who tried to steal an election.
Unless you think that Trump (or Vance) will just cede power voluntarily in 2029, then Americans will have to do the same.
The good news? It’s eminently doable. In my latest, I explain how.
Which is how we should *really* feel about organized crime. That said, it seems you got far out of the film than I ever could!
If you're puzzled by Michael Tracey defending Epstein, note that it's a small step from denying atrocities on behalf of foreign powers to denying atrocities on behalf of rich guys.
Here's a thread I did on Tracey (and Aaron Maté's) ludicrous denial of Russia's mass child abductions in Ukraine.
If most of those implicated in the Epstein scandal happened to be liberals, I can assure you that Matt Taibbi would find it *very* interesting. But because they're not, he thinks it's boring.
Taibbi becomes easier to get once you understand that he just hates liberals, like the kind he used to be.
In 1999, I had a happy hour with 2 friends. We got to talking about how evil Sodexo-Marriott was (they were the biggest investors in private prisons). One friend ran with the idea & launched a huge nationwide campus campaign (they also ran the dining halls) to force them to divest & eventually won.
Yes, "religious discourse" - that famously effective shield against sexual predation.
I still don't understand what the hell happened in that movie, though.
Gomorrah (2008). Like, totally fucking bewildered about the ostensible story that just unfolded.
Uh, I'm *not* talking about the 1930s.
A question not enough people are thinking about:
What are Americans going to do when the GOP incumbent tries to stay in power after an election loss in 2029?
40 years ago, Filipinos faced that very problem - and won. Here's how they did it.
