I’m telling you, the best way to understand this ceasefire is that Trump, faithless and feckless as always, saw Iran winning the war and wanted to be on the winning side. So he surrendered to them and switched sides

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Golden age, baby! Dealmaker!

Never has any one person declared victory in the middle of abject failure more than this dude

I find it irritating far beyond the bounds of what is probably rational. Wish they'd knock it off.

serena’s got us

I’m sure he’ll be please to talk about this when he’s honored at the White House Correspondents’ dinner in a couple weeks.

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

Well maybe they figured the admin fired all the people who speak Farsi because they're "woke" and thus will not notice.

Eternally relevant

this is an excellent point that I overlooked, in Trumpspeak, "two weeks" is functionally equivalent to "infinity"

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Look, I've been telling anyone who will listen that the right-wing media machine (incl. social media owned by oligarchs) has been feeding bespoke lies millions, resulting in "I voted for Trump because free IVF" and such. But I'm still viscerally shocked to see evidence of "Donald the dove" voters.

Update: I got through and his staff told me they “couldn’t say” whether he supports the use of nuclear weapons in Iran.

Dadgum right.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

The Odyssey is one of the greatest tales ever told, but archaeologists have found surprising evidence for the real-life inspirations behind the battles, adventures, and even the heroes. That’s all in our new cover story, free online! archaeology.org/collection/the-unexpected-world-of-the-odyssey/

Don't let this administration distract you from screaming into your pillow in the fetal position.

Shameless in even the most pointless, stupid ways.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Zero percent chance they reconsider. Which is a stain.

Trump v. United States and the Citizens United decisions of this SCOTUS will go down in history with Dred Scott as among the court's worst. They may seem removed from where we are today...but they are not.

I hope this post does not look as stupid and cruel tomorrow as it feels right now.

Exactly what Jesus would say.

the domino meme, with "Rupert Murdoch starts a cable news channel" on the small end and "global armegeddon" at the big end

I've heard the phrase "human shields" way too much on CNN and Fox today. They're clearly preparing audiences to rationalize massive civilian casualties tonight.

Cool

Yep. Dems need to be speaking loudly and in unison about the urgent national need to remove this madman from office immediately.

of course.

*guy cheering on nuclear war voice* why aren’t people having babies?

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

All these type of people are sociopaths

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

WHAT IS THE DEAL?? WHAT WOULD THE DEAL BE?? I feel like I'm going insane every time I read one of these. WHY WOULD IRAN MAKE A DEAL WITH THE GUYS WHO MURDERED THE LAST PEOPLE WHO NEGOTIATED WITH THEM???

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

People accusing Chuck Schumer of just sitting there writing strongly worded tweets are wrong. They are not even strongly worded

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

Moron.

Insane. And anyone who would let their kids be around this dude should be on a watchlist anyway.

Well, at least Hurley lost!

The Artemis II crew needs to know that Donald Trump will do whatever he can to give a stubby thumbs up in a photo op standing next to them when they land, so they had better practice their best vacant stares and grim expressions.

Eventually, the brain-damaged chimpanzees in the WH will figure out that the laws of armed conflict are enforced—in part—because an adversary is almost always capable of responding reciprocally to any violation you commit. I just wonder how much global energy is taken offline before that happens.

Teeing up another day of beautiful market manipulation I see

He is physically incapable of doing anything else.
