GOP candidate Clayton Fuller, as expected, won the race for MTG's old seat in Georgia, but he's winning by only 15 points in a +37 Trump district. A 22 point Dem swing. Peaches for dinner tonight.

This is America: Concentration camps Wars of aggression Citizens murdered by the state Led by a cult of personality Holy war rhetoric Religious intolerance and persecution Racial purging This isn't the America I grew up in. That America fought a war against those things. And was better for it.

The F-15 was apparently brought down by MANPADs. My wife asked if those were easy to replace. I told her there's a vending machine in most men's bathrooms.

“The entire country can be taken out in one night.” I wonder if the governments of Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE told him that their countries could also be taken out in one night. If Iran decides they're Armageddon it, hitting desalination plants and petro facilities would end allies in the Gulf.

We know that Trump does his own hair. It has gotten less and less consistent and more and more sloppy in recent months. I guess all that handshaking has been so injurious that he can no longer coif properly. Sad.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

We've been calling this the Iran War. But wars don't get named until they're over (see The 30 Years War, The 100 Years War, World War I) and history gets a say. If I may be so bold, I'd like to suggest World War Stupid. It names it after Trump without naming one more thing after him. You're welcome.

Not only is Iran being allowed to sell its oil on the open market as the price of oil (which it now controls) rises, it can make money on other countries' oil without lifting a finger or a drone. I guess we'll soon see big poles with toll cameras on them in the Fuckin' Strait. Whose cards are these?

Must be a man-of-the-people thing, Fuckin'. Droppin' the "g". Down home, like. Kind of like Rapin', Defraudin', and Murderin'. I'm hopin' there'll be a little Impeachin' and Removin' and Imprisonin' soon but I'm not countin' on it. Him Strokin' out may be our best fuckin' hope. Concernin'.

I think it might be 25th Amendment Week.

I m not sure that "(They said nothing when Biden routinely went 12 days without speaking to press)" is the flex they think it is because we knew Biden was actually working and not playing golf every weekend during the war he never declared and the worldwide energy crisis he never created.

There's an unconfirmed rumor that Trump is at Walter Reed for a medical emergency. Although it probably isn't true, I am going to take the approach of the current GOP leadership and say it is true, which will make it as true as I need it to be.

I never want anything smarter than me in my house. So all I have is a blender and a Yahtzee set. I'm thinking of paring that down.

Change the name to "Bars-a-Llago" and create a Trump "suite" and it'll be worth the money.

DJT: "I'm gonna need a bigger bus."

He couldn't seem to breathe or enunciate or control the spittle in his mouth. He sounded like a marine mammal trying to speak through their blowhole.

Mean girl gets hit by bus.

All kinds of bad for Tesla here. Slight increase Y-O-Y from a terrible Q1 last year but a big deliveries miss. 50K mostly M3s and MYs in excess inventory, collecting rainwater. The bright spot of energy storage dimming with big Gwh miss. Best thing? Giving Fred Lambert another chance to ream Elon.

Trump: "I will never allow a nuclear Iran. Not on my watch. No nukes for those nutjobs." Q: "So what happens to all the enriched uranium they're known to have?" Trump (shrugs): "Eh."

"We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong". This fucking guy. One minute bragging that we've almost achieved our aims (whatever those may be...no one knows) and the next he's telling us he's going to destroy Iran. He speaks softly (out of breath) and carries a big TACO.

While the recipes sound delicious (a side of Bezos' balls, please), remember to check your ingredients for implants, silicone injections, and other non-OEM options that are potential choking hazards.

Remember how all the MSM called Biden's low polling numbers "historically low"? His low point was after he muffed the first debate with Trump in 2024. Trump is already there at the start of his second year. The questions now I think are "How low can he go?" and "Why are the MSM such chickenshits?"

Anybody else think the look on the dog's face is "Please, just shoot me now"? I'm sorry. Too soon?

This will be Trumps legacy. Holes. Holes at the WH, holes in the budget, holes in our national parks, holes in our soldiers, our planes and ships, holes in the atmosphere, holes in US citizens for exercising First Amendment rights, holes in US credibility, our alliances and our stature in the world.

maybe you don't currently have gay friends or family members (doubtful), or know anyone who's transgender (unlikely), or have a deepseated moral repugnance towards LGBTQ people (grow up). These are just the first people they come after and, don't kid yourself, we're all next. All of us. We're. Next.

BTW, Karoline is the one in the middle. The one on the left is Trump without makeup.

So Powell says inflation is “well anchored beyond the short term.” Gas has gone up an average of 34% since the Iran War started. A basic commodity, which affects all other commodities, going up 34% is the very definition of an inflationary spiral. Anchored, my ass.

Trans Day of Visibility is tomorrow. #TDOV #ProtectTheDolls

Trump declared war assuming that he'd get a boost, like past Presidents, from a "rally-round-the-flag effect" that declaring war often engenders. There may have been a "rally-round-the-flag-effect" but it wasn't the American flag.

The only place Raffi Cruz has callouses is on his heart.

"Nuclear dust" refers to fallout, not enriched Uranium, which Trump was trying to talk about. Makes me wonder where he heard the expression and in what context. He's just a jumbled mess of broken synapses these days, a ball of tangled wire, all over the place but not there at all.

As we find ourselves looking at Weimar-Republic-level inflation, pariah status on the world stage, energy deprivation and potential trade isolation, Trump will be remembered as the first leader to bomb his own country back to the Stone Age.

No Kings 3 Olympia, WA. Now.

Liam conejo hats out in force today waiting for the march to begin in Olympia, WA.

Trump says of MBS, “Yeah, he’s a warrior. He’s fighting with us.” Fine. Send him to Iran with his bone saw then.

What strikes me about the GOP these days is that they had a chance to save Trump from himself and they didn't take it. They could have joined Rand Paul and voted on a war resolution but they'd rather follow the lead lemming off the cliff. And they know firsthand about how bad his judgement is.

Now that Trump has shown his willingness to give Iran freedom to sell previously sanctioned oil, I think we need to start calling him "Tehran Don".

These troops are a whole buttload of Chekhov's Guns. Sooner or later somebody is gonna use them.

Just a reminder that Elon's reality is not real reality. You can't make something real by calling it what you want it to be.

no notes.

We shouldn't want to take back majorities in Congress. We should want veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate. We need every MAGA Republican to lose and for us to put an end to this homicidal, genocidal, suicidal regime before they erase the future. That's what we should want. Nothing less.

Israel's vaunted "Iron Dome" defense system may have given its citizens a false sense of security. Almost 5000 injuries have been reported in Israel mostly from Iran's missiles and drones breaking through the Iron Dome. It may be more of an Iron Whiffle Ball, with more holes than was thought.

Trump claims he's negotiating with Iranian leaders. Israel has promised to kill any new Iranian leader. Any Iranian leader who identifies themselves as such would likely not last a day. So either Trump is talking to himself or he's talking to a dead man, but either way, this war's not over.

This interesting because it assumes there is some level where Pam Bondi would be IN her depth.

Bibi hopes and dreams shattered because the Iranians aren't willing to die for him. It's tough when your government is a bunch of religious cranks and fanatics who think any form of protest is treason and that they have a God-given right to rule. And Iran has a similar problem.

I'm a little ICE agent, Short and stout Here is my mask, And my badge isn't out. When I get all steamed up, Hear me shout: I'll tip you over, And take you out. Apologies to G. H. Sanders and C. Z. Kelley

Would that be the same Viktor Orban who said we "do not want to become peoples of mixed race" and argued for the purity of Hungarian blood? Because if I remember correctly the European pure blood argument never works out well for Jews. An entire branch of my family disappeared in Latvia in 1940.

Another day, another Duggar detained. These Christ-y types seem to commit more child endangerment and abuse than anyone else, but then they get forgiven by The Lord and are free to do it again. But Their Lord isn't above The Law, so maybe they'll find God in prison. He's evaded them so far.

Separation of Church and Military is as important as Church and State. Who signed the US up for Crusades? This is antisemitic, Islamophobic and unconscionable in thought and action. This fanatic has remade the military in his image and declared war on non-Christians, 70% of the world's population.
