Trump has always said that he only wants Jewish guys counting his money (guys w/yarmulkes). What does it say that his two top war negotiators are both Jews? He is sporting that trope like he's leaving the bathroom with a piece of toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Vile jew-baiter...

You got to love it when a leverage point like this is identified, and everyone piles on like crazy. It's kind of like when people realized that Biden's liberal interpretation of the Asylum laws open the door to humanitarian parole and possible status. He knew we needed workers for economic growth.

One can determine precisely how much value Trump places on the lives of our soldiers- the blood and Treasure of our nation- by the irrefutable fact that the sole reason for striking Iran was to distract from the evidence in the Epstein files showing that he's a predator pimp and child rapist, period

Come on, our troops are not fighting - they're killing. Israel spent several weeks with their 65 F-35 stealth aircraft eliminating Iran's air defense capability with impunity. Many are railing about putting our soldiers In Harm's Way, forgetting the spiritual harm to those sent to kill illegally.

I'm a man, and you're right I should be sent to space, but I thought you should know that I considered Harris the perfect candidate at the perfect time, due in part to the fact that she is female, and carries within her the nurturing instinct. How's that for a hackneyed old trope? Sorry, not sorry..

And, to all the coward-ass fucking cunts unwilling to stand up to il Douche for fear of his minions degrading the quality of life of their family members, what about the quality of life of your constituents, that you swore to protect? An oathbreaker is the lowest form of life, and you wanted it

That 31-point swing in Tarrant County has surely set that alarm off, assuming it wasn't already blaring. Texas has 38 House Seats, currently split 25 to 13. Their redistrict was supposed to move it to 30 to 8. My prediction is a net loss for them- 24 to 14, or maybe even worse. I can't wait..

100%. I believe that Harris, as president, would have taken a much harder line with Israel, possibly including making further aid and weapons sales contingent on their behavior. However, as vice president her job was to support Biden's policies, which she did, to the detriment of her own campaign.

'Coon sploot!

When Trump sent the carrier Gerald R Ford from the Med to Venezuela for the Maduro raid, he caused their return home to be delayed. By sending them right back to the Eastern Med, he has extended their deployment again to where they've now been out for 9 months. This could become a very live issue.

I appreciate the help she has given, but that fence-straddling stunt she was pulling at the Clinton deposition, claiming that the survivors had exonerated Trump, was deplorable.

It's always a good time to point out that being present in the country without documents is a MISDEMEANOR

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos told a story this morning about being bemused by seeing a sign in the Tampa Airport suggesting that people not wear pajamas and such to the airport. They seemed totally unaware that this was their tax dollars at work. I'll bet those signs are in Texas and Arkansas too.

Also Tehran, who's greater metropolitan area contains 15 million people, is facing a long-term severe water shortage. Damage to infrastructure could tip this over into a full-on humanitarian crisis

No one seems to be commenting today about Trump claiming to produce a schoolgirl who was kidnapped, subjected to forced conversion/transition, and then falsely imprisoned at the behest of their local public school. Have we achieved unanimous consent to let this pass unremarked upon?

If you know where to look you will find that Trump sometimes speaks the truth without guile or subtlety. He explicitly stated after the passage of the one big beautiful bill that he had no further legislative priorities. Packing it all into one reconciliation bill was like 4D chess for him.

War changes everything. It restructures the entire political landscape. Opposition becomes unpatriotic. Criticism becomes dangerous. Emergency powers suddenly have one justification that silenced opposition in every democracy that ever fell: wartime necessity. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-regime...

Flying under the radar is the fact that when Trump sent the Gerald R Ford from the med, where it is again, all the way to Venezuela to remove Maduro, that already extended them past their scheduled return from deployment. Now they are extended AGAIN! That's how we end up losing planes over the side.

Patel just fired 12 Iranian Counter Intelligence experts because one of their fingers once touched a document retrieved from Mar-A-Lago by the FBI.

Lawrence O'Donnell is going to have a field day with this one.

Not a single NATO nation has paid anything. They have only pledged to spend 5% of their GDP on their communal defense. The Pledge is all that was needed to satisfy Trump's need for vaporware touchdowns.

Oh for fuck's sake, shut up.

Press-ganged by a Jew... using Witkoff and Kushner as his main representatives is an anti-semitic trope in and of itself.

Right on Jen. I believe the old dog is getting tricky. He's promising 5 or 6 weeks, with the obvious intent of cutting it short. Clearly, there have been no arrangements made for anything beyond airstrikes, cuz it's his intention to cut and run and blame failure to overthrow on Iranian cowardice.

The Trump/Vought ethos - put them in trauma - is now worldwide. Also, the coming spikes in oil and natural gas prices will have our European friends and allies paying an even larger percentage of "The Trump Vig."

Presidential sophistry will maintain that dear leader, with tears in his eyes and the greatest empathy for his subjects, made the hard but necessary decision on our behalf that he would sacrifice our financial well-being to stave off the imminent threat from the country that isn't one.

The only thing about which we are at odds with each other is how far up their asses to jam that contempt

Please be shingles...It's OK to root for that, right?

Fantastic. We're going to flip at least 30 seats so at this point it doesn't really even matter but still.. no we can set about proving that we are a big tent party by not succumbing to the temptation to open fire on the Dems in the Maryland senate if they can't see fit to push their effort through.

Dear God, please let it be shingles.

Their communication strategy such as it is, writ large, is to aggressively stake out a position on both sides of every issue.

Barron (like John Barron, not Baron Vladimir Harkonnen) would probably be an FPV drone operator, that is if he could get past boot camp- the kid looks soft.

Lies Lies Lies Lies we're sorry for the families that lost Sons and we're sorry about the first lady who lost sleep. Always looking for another way to scream fuck you at the American people.

Osama Bin Laden said- make them afraid and they will bankrupt themselves. We need to find a cheaper way to knock down those drones. A million dollar missile to shoot down a $50,000 drone is a trade off that we can't afford long-term. They rely on our unwillingness to put a dollar value on human life

Professor, it's part of how they hamstring the opposition's arguments- they are counting on us being reticent to bring money into the conversation when there are lives on the line, that would be most unseemly. They accuse us of having misplaced priorities and a lack of compassion - irony is dead.

Trump would like us to believe that these are unavoidable consequences of his righteous actions when, in fact, this anarchy is properly part of the goal. His whole conceit about just doing what he had to do and sorry about the mess folds nicely into his victimhood complex.

For Trump the icing on the cake would be seeing the people rise up and try another frontal assault into the machine guns.. knowing it was doomed he would say it was worth a try..

There is more truth in 5 accidental minutes of Idiocracy, than the sum total of Trump's public remarks spanning his entire lifetime.

I posted this 7 months ago Trump = Hitler Miller = Himmler RFK JR = Mengele

Trump is just licking his chops waiting to see if the Iranian people will charge the machine guns, now that he has manufactured an opening for them large enough to entice them to try without providing any meaningful support. It's like setting up a dog fight between a pitbull and a chihuahua.

Does Mace even know if those two are Shia or Sunni? That would bear on whether condolences or congratulations were in order. The facile conclusion that their adherence broadly to a common religion certifies them to be sharing a bond of sorts is one of the stupider fucking things I've heard this week

When there was reporting this past week about the IRS illegally releasing taxpayer data 40 some odd thousand times, this woman is exactly who they were targeting.

It's called defense in depth. Trump has had a seemingly endless interlocking chain of successive fallback positions. It's also called trading real estate for time.

Hey Jen, I am certain that Trump thinks they all want to fight and are just waiting to be turned loose so they can do what they signed up to do. Put me in coach!

Does she even know if those two are Shia or Sunni? That would bear on whether condolences or congratulations were in order. The facile conclusion that their adherence broadly to a common religion certifies them as sharing a bond of sorts is one of the stupider fucking things I've heard this week.

It is our great good fortune that he has not found himself in a position to spike something important with a single Manchin-style vote. When we take back the senate in 2026 let's hope we get the margin to 51-49, thereby denying him the chance to be a real impediment, instead of just an annoyance.

I want my Mamala...

Well...
