I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there are techniques used by people who beat the crap out of each other for funsies that, were an FBI agent to use them, would equate to a violation of constitutional rights. Enjoy the lawsuits, Kash.

I’ve studied MAGA rhetoric for a decade, and this is what I see in Hegseth’s boasts, action-movie one-liners and gloating over dominance theconversation.com/ive-studied-...

Allow me to introduce Exhibit A: ⬇️

Put a Trump‑loyalist in charge, and you get this: Witkoff fed Trump an “11 nuclear bombs” soundbite. In reality, inspectors say Iran’s 60% stockpile is only theoretical material for about 10 warheads if it’s further enriched and turned into actual bombs, not proof of 11 ready‑to‑use weapons.

The right is replacing public service with influencer brain rot, corruption, and permanent spectacle. A guy tied to SEC crypto charges and riot-related FBI headlines is now the kind of person Trump thinks should govern. Rotten from top to bottom.

We don’t have to worry about Iranian sleeper cells when we have this guy on the job.

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida. The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wall Street seems convinced Trump’s Iran war will be short and tidy. Iran says it will decide when it’s over. Concepts of a plan energy. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Michael Flynn pushed Trump to use the military to seize voting machines in 2020 and is now tied to a draft “emergency” order to let Trump ban mail voting and machines nationwide. Now he’s calling sitting members of Congress “fraudulent,” laying the groundwork to dismiss any future loss as “fraud.”

Trump promised deportations would open jobs for U.S. workers. New data says unemployment is rising instead. Huh, interesting. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

We are only a couple of truth social posts away from “the war with Iran is over when Congress passes anti trans legislation.”

The Trump administration justified its ICE crackdown in Minnesota by warning about massive fraud. Now federal prosecutors say they need to delay a major $250 million fraud trial because they’re not ready. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Trump’s Delusions Come at Americans’ Expense open.substack.com/pub/contrari... Keeping that ridiculous ball cap on (breach of protocol) and saluting (civilians or those in civilian attire should put hand over heart) shows his disdain for proper behavior, and for a draft dodger to salute offends.

So, you want to be a writer?

This isn’t shocking. Trump is bombing Iran for one reason only: it’s what strongmen do when they have to divert attention from the failure of their domestic policies. 1/3
