You don’t say. Obvious at time of Access Hollywood tape a decade ago.

This can be rewritten “Trump Causing Largest Oil Disruption Ever”, since this completely unnecessary war was his decision.

This feels a lot like when finance bros were making COVID projection models... exactly 6 years ago today.

based on what exactly

IRAN SAYS IT STRUCK AN AMERICAN OIL TANKER IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

none of us should have to spend this much time thinking about an elderly cognitively impaired person to whom we are not related

its only been like a week and this is already one of the stupidest things anyone's ever posted

Dude makes andrew johnson look like george washington

Smart people don't have to convince people they're smart people.

He has absolutely zero idea.

I'm sure a nation that's still collectively traumatized by being asked to wear face masks for awhile will step up to the plate and be stoic about ten dollar a gallon gas

i assume dem leadership knows this, but i don’t think they’ll be able to count on fetterman for anything if they take the senate back; he’s becoming more and more juvenile and unable to control himself.

Iran is likely thinking that they not only want to survive—which is practically a win for a relatively weaker power attacked by a stronger one—but also that they want to impose enough costs on enough parties that the US assault becomes a cautionary tale. Trump started something he can’t control.

Should tell us everything we need to know

USA now the leading champion, the absolute goat, of own goals.

Same leadership, except now angrier and more radical. Same underground cache of enriched uranium. Thousands dead or wounded. Worse than pointless.

The finance bros have confidence in him

AI allows the military to choose such targets FASTER

Eventually even the most elaborate psychotic delusions collide with reality The longer it takes the worse the reckoning

Almost feels like the Iranians are directly responding to US news and media and markets with this - as if they saw the conspicuous underreaction too and thought “no, we need to demonstrate how easy this is for us”

I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

People are making fun of the shoe thing, and for good reason, but it's also terrifying: If Trump's cabinet and advisors are too afraid to tell him he didn't guess their shoe size correctly, they are certainly too afraid to tell him the truth about the war.

Truly a perfect news alert

get used to it, buddy, this is what you (figuratively, idk about this specific farmer) voted for

Except those underground stores of uranium we didn’t blow up the last time he said we were done…...

Katz may end up pivoting back to screenplays, bc he’s going to find out that in contested Democratic primaries the candidate who runs against the Democratic Party usually loses, because Democratic primary voters generally vote for candidates who don’t hate the Democratic Party.

What are Platner’s achievements that merit promotion to the U.S. Senate again? He was born on third base, attended Hotchkiss, signed up for dumb wars that he already opposed, dropped out of an expensive university, worked for Blackwater, sold oysters to his mom, and hired Morris Katz. Anything else?

He’s still intermittently effective at his late night infomercial style bullshit, even in early senility.

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) announced for Senate & leaves open #OK01 (Tulsa), which was Trump +22 in 2024 Last 10 US House members to say they're retiring or seeking other office have all been Republicans. Last D retirement: Julia Brownley (CA) & Steny Hoyer (MD) Jan. 8 (Delegate Norton of DC Jan. 27)

Show them how it’s done, please.

“America is creating a laundry list of tactical successes in Iran without having any defined strategic objectives…This is what it means to be led by idiots and incompetents.”

At some point Trump may decide to unilaterally stop bombing Iran, but does Israel? Does Iran immediately stop hitting the bases and ships? Does Trump admit defeat (because it would absolutely be defeat)? There are a million things that pull him further into the vortex and not many pushing him out.

Iran has ghosted Trump’s errand boys.

(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Russia is helping Iran with advanced drone tactics from its war in Ukraine to hit US and Gulf nation targets in the Middle East, according to a Western intelligence official.

This administration didn’t anticipate that Iranians would get so sensitive about mass murder of civilians, demolition of Tehran, and serial murder of their leaders until an acceptably submissive one is promoted. Low E.Q.

The rules are for rubes class.

Dens might want to listen to this guy slate.com/business/202...

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

Idiot plot

That's the actual definition of "a Dem trifecta."

Let. The people. Touch. The stove.

democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid. The Democrats!

Helps bail out Trump from his own idiotic decisions, while reducing gov revenue and will earn no credit from voters in the process. Brilliant.

An Iranian guest commentator said Trump is fighting for “the Epstein Class”

When you do something like bomb a school next to a military base, you fess up and say “Yes, we did it, it was a horrible mistake and we’re incredibly sorry”. It may not win you total forgiveness, but at least it stops eating away at the rest of your credibility.
