So if the United States were a theocracy like Iran, there would be 100 percent male employment in gainful jobs?

I fail to see Walmart and Amazon getting on board with that idea.

Used up:
* 45% of Precision Strike Missiles
* 50% of THAAD interceptors
* 50% of Patriot air defence missiles
* Tomahawks and long-range missiles down by 20–30%

This creates a “near-term risk” for any conflict with a major power like China.

Will Wins Wars. We’re Forgetting That. Power = Will × Resources.

A militarily weaker nation can, under the right conditions, counter and complicate the actions of a far stronger one, not by defeating it outright, but by preventing it from effectively translating its superior resources into decisive power.

Just like Jesus got a job and had a family, right?

four seasons total dumbfuckery: Donny blows up Iran negotiations with his own reckless mouth Dear Leader always makes things worse for himself

here's today's post: "four seasons total dumbfuckery: Donny blows up Iran negotiations with his own reckless mouth" — Dear Leader always makes things worse for himself.
thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

The comments section under this post read like a group of people who want Democrats to be a permanent minority party. It doesn't seem helpful to a free exchange of ideas as a critique of what Democrats need to do to respond with rage posting.

Watching Andrew Ross Sorkin behaving obsequiously toward Dementia Donnie is disturbing.

Ahead of midterms, Trump’s DOJ is targeting voting in three of the most pivotal swing-state counties "They're basically acknowledging they got nothing," one elections expert said. "It's going to be used for propaganda and PR. And DOJ's law enforcement powers aren't supposed to be used for propaganda ...

With the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) last week demanding 2024 election records from Wayne County, Michigan, the Trump administration is now aggressively targeting the voting process in perhaps the country’s three most pivotal voting jurisdictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Week Ahead We seem doomed to another week of war news.

"What's happening with the president as he conducts his war is now completely out of bounds. . . . It's crazy on steroids, and well past the point where even his own party should be giving him a pass. . . .

"War crimes, plain and simple."

Dear White House Reporters: Again, WTF? Dinner with this president, really?

@ronfournier.bsky.social, who used attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, won’t watch it Saturday night on C-SPAN.

"This year, rather than upset the thin-skinned president by hiring a political satirist to entertain, as is tradition, the WHCA booked mentalist Oz Pearlman.
"Really, folks?"

Trump will do it his way In the middle of the night, while most of the country was sleeping, the President of the United States was wide awake, in a dimly lit room deep inside the White House, posting relentlessly on social m...

Heather Delaney Reese (@itsalovelylife.bsky.social):

"What we continue to see are the actions of a man whose last filters are gone. And what's underneath is what we have always suspected was there
"Rage. Grandiosity. Absence of concern for anyone beyond himself. No thought of what he leaves behind"

They know Trump is in trouble Earlier this morning, the President of the United States sat glassy-eyed and dazed, propped up in his tall leather chair behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while he did something he believed ...

"Trump loves to use veterans as props, the same way he uses anyone who serves his purposes and discards them when they don't. . . .
"That is how Trump operates. He doesn’t persuade his critics. He purchases them . . . with access."
-- Heather Delaney Reese (@itsalovelylife.bsky.social)

What Trump is Fighting For It's not national security or even oil. As this story on Hungary proves, his main motive is power.

"Iran's nuclear program was never Trump’s key motivation for war. . . . The war on Iran is Trump's way of seizing and maintaining power.

"It's a con."
-- @ronfournier.bsky.social

2/ The judge who famously vowed at his nomination hearing to “call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat” from the bench decided instead to change the rules of the game — creating a shadow docket for his star chamber — and cast the court as a supreme legislative body.

John Roberts' Star Chamber How the Supreme Court secretly legislates from the bench.

In secret memos, Roberts expands the court’s powers specifically to block Obama’s Clean Power Plan, his signature climate change policy — not over arguments of law or science but over Robert’s believe that the law was too expense for corporate America. 1/

Dear White House Reporters: Again, WTF? Dinner with this president, really?

Why celebrate journalism alongside a man whose concept of news travels the narrow range between “Trump is a great president” to “Trump is the greatest president ever"? Why celebrate journalism with a man who hates it?

In fairness, I make fun of Dementia Donnie's mental handicap, bone spurs affliction, and stubby manhood, as often as I can.

Trump's dyslexia barbs stir anguish and anger, perpetuating a myth about the learning disability Some of the harshest words that President Donald Trump has used against a leading Democratic rival aren't about political differences but rather a learning disability.

President Trump's insults geared toward California Gov. Gavin Newsom's struggle with dyslexia are stirring anguish and anger from the president's supporters and critics.

Tucker Carlson, who helped give US Trump and promoted the Great Replacement Theory, claims he’s lost friends defending Trump, that Trump has betrayed him along with Americans and offers a public apology for misleading the American people.

Oh, God! This prick is such a loser. He's always groveled for any attention to make the most trivial arguments. He could only ever get air time on the third-rate UHF archdiocesan public television station.

Trump Insiders Privately Admit the 79-Year-Old Is Unraveling Sources have expressed growing concern over the president.

Donald Trump’s erratic and contradictory statements on his war with Iran have alarmed the president’s own inner sanctum, as well as annoying Iranian leaders.

A crazy 4/20 post by Dementia Donnie? Can we be sure he didn't hit a doob?

BlueSky hive mind: A podcast guest in the last couple of weeks described how Trump campaigned as a populist, but his supporters are finally seeing him as belonging to the Epstein class & doesn't understand or care about their day-to-day struggles. I can't find it again. Anyone recall what it was?

"It’s hard for the human brain to encounter evil in ludicrous form, and still recognise it as such. That’s how it creeps up on you. That’s why you ask how such crimes were allowed to happen in the past. The answer is that it rarely arrives with the intent and identifying hallmarks of a villain. It arrives in the form of broken people, whose power lies in their unquenchable desire to make themselves whole no matter the consequences. Alongside Trump’s absurdity sits the fact that he has access to the means of nuclear annihilation and a sociopathic appetite for escalation."
