If a President Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter led America to such an embarrassing humiliating defeat as the #HormuzHumiliation - the Congress (even if it were led by Democrats) would have impeached and convicted them out of the office.
Coaches get fired for being losers.
The #HormuzHumiliation is "an immense strategic defeat—and one that knocks the legs out from under the entire American system of power projection and global predominance." @ryanlcooper.com
A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.
You wouldn't elect someone who behaved like this to the school board or the PTA. The man with the nuclear codes.
#Racism is a pillar of Republican policy
If you thought the Trump admin might want to put some distance between them and the subject of this NY Times profile...here he is with Vance in Hungary yesterday
Weird. Can’t imagine how that happened even though everyone has been warning about that for decades.
I would have thought a fight over the next SL after he died would have been a great opportunity but no, these geniuses helped his son consolidate power. And gave them the Straight. So helpful.
Today, all good people celebrate the April 9, 1865 surrender of the traitor Lee and his slavery-supporting army at Appomattox to the U.S Army led by General Grant.
saveusfs.org, launched on April 6th, contains multiple examples of identical or near-identical phrasing to this article by Jim Pattiz in Hatch, published just four days earlier on April 2nd.
Let's look at some examples.
Absolutely the fuck not.
that guy is a fuckin mess
I wrote about the end of
the U.S. Forest Service and the arrogance of trying to kill something like a forest: defector.com/the-trump-ad...
NEW: A federal judge has ordered the DOJ to hand over all it's evidence in the murder of Renee Nicole Good in the next 3 weeks. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...
Specifically, if Democrats have any hope of winning the Senate this year, they NEED to win Michigan, North Carolina, and probably Ohio, all states where steel protectionism is a vital industrial issue that's important for the election.
I wrote today about the plethora of stooges surrounding Trump. Two attributes they have in common are shamelessness and cowardice. Today's NY Times instabook chapter, in which high level stooges dump on Trump (and each other) "anonymously," proves the point. They were all silent when it mattered.
Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social.
Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!"
Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]
“The U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is headquartered in Bahrain, and it’s hard to see how America can maintain that or other Gulf bases with Iran controlling the only naval entry point.”
My husband spent $117, to fill up his car. Regular gas. In NC. Pre-war it was $70. The elite think they’re going to lie their way through this as if people won’t notice that their gas bill is up $100 a month.
"Civilians in Lebanon are already paying an unbearable price with children, health workers, and journalists amongst those killed—the latest attacks will only escalate this devastating human toll," said one campaigner.
apparently today's a good day for this
Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account.
I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either.
You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.
Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

I have a weird little story about Paolo Zampolli, the guy who introduced Trump to Melania:
He owned a building 1 block away from the old BuzzFeed NYC office and would rent some of its apartments on AirBnB. I stayed there a lot (proof attached, he gave me great reviews). This was part of the decor:
What Trump did to the entire world with his insane threat cannot be lost in the unhinged news cycle, as Marisa says.
You’re right.
That might not be enough time to bury the Statue of Liberty and distribute 400 million ape costumes.
New — I wrote about the terror and loss of the last few days, mostly so we don’t forget.
