So once applications open for the $1.7B slush fund, we're all going to apply and break their portal, right?

So, Trump is dropping his lawsuit against his own IRS, which I'm sure will be delighted to give him 1.7 billion for victims of "politicized justice." But I doubt any of his 1/6 goons will see a penny. That cash will go to the most innocent victim, the most unjustly persecuted man in history/1

Heaven help us, can't he even finish losing one war before he loses another? And if it's "humanitarian concerns" he cares about (yeah, right 😆) he could just stop his cruel, pointless blockade.

Not one penny of taxpayer money would have been needed for a bunker if Trump hadn't destroyed the existing one. Make him pay for the new one out of his own pocket. He's surely scammed enough money with his Crypto grift to cover it, hasn't he? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

After 1991, Russians joked about a man who came to a newsstand every day and asked for Pravda. The clerk told him day after day that there was no more Pravda. Finally the clerk asked him why he did this. The man said "I just need to hear it over and over." www.rawstory.com/bari-weiss-2...

But Amanda, Vance DOES have a card he can play. It's the 25th amendment. By law he has the authority to initiate that process, and once he does, a great many R's will fall in behind him. www.salon.com/2026/04/27/j...

The only cards trump has are jokers, and he knows they'll never negotiate the off-ramp that he wants. Mainly because Iran has no reason to make a single concession, even if he sent the best negotiators in the universe. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/w...

How stupid is this? The Vatican city is a sovereign state but it's also in Rome. Rome is the capital of Italy. Italy is a NATO member. You really think that an attack on the Vatican wouldn't bring down the wrath of Europe on our heads, and they have nukes. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-offici...

King Croesus of Lydia asked the Delphi oracle if he should invade the Persian empire. The Pythia responded "If you invade Persia, a mighty empire will be destroyed." He did, and the empire he destroyed was his own.

I do believe we're on the eve of destruction.

The targeting of schools, gymnasia, and orphanages has been no accident. The idea is that by killing Iranian children they can break the hearts of the adults. Trouble is that people whose children are being slaughtered will usually want to avenge them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

So Trump now thinks he's given the Iranian people the chance to overthrow their government? Well, that will probably work as well as it did in 1991 in Iraq, and again in 2003. There is no better way to strengthen a tyrannical regime than an external invasion.
