Still true

I guess now we know why Trump wanted to almost double our already massive military budget in just two years. Houthis, Gaza, Venezuela, Iran - endless wars, bombings and foreign interventions are expensive.

I guess when they started calling it the Department of War instead of Defense they did it for a reason.

Imagine the euphoria a sociopathic narcissist experiences when a simple verbal command or even just a threat... ...allows him to exploit, extort, and/or impose his will/power on anyone who dares to impede his desire for enrichment/glory/aggrandizement/legacy/etc. This was on display at Davos: 17/

Trump says US conducted ‘major combat operations’ in Iran

This will be the end of CNN. The viewers they still have left will be gone and they won’t be replaced with MAGA. MAGA doesn’t want Fox Lite and nobody else does either.

Pete Hegseth is trying to bully Anthropic out of objecting to “lethal autonomous weapons systems” and mass surveillance. What could go wrong? @eggerdc.bsky.social & @cathyyoung63.bsky.social in Morning Shots, only @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/ai-death-m...

“As contemptible as the compulsive lying is, the State of the Union highlighted another deformation of our republic that has reached its apotheosis in Trump: the assumption of presidential supremacy.” www.thebulwark.com/p/congress-s...

NYT susses out the real reason Trump wants to attack Iran: It would make him feel good. “Several administration officials said it would allow Mr. Trump to claim a military victory against an old foe.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/u...

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

"Tonight Trump will, as Steve Bannon memorably put it, 'flood the zone with shit.' The good news is that the American people seem increasingly sickened by the odor. But we have a long struggle ahead to get rid of it." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

It takes away from the athletes’ achievement and frankly feels embarrassing.

Oh, look who’s pushing the lie. A CNN employee.

Even though he could go at any minute, I’m still not watching the State of the Union.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

Get in line.

"Less than a year after 'obliterating' Iran’s nuclear program, the administration is warning it is 'probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material.'...Meanwhile, the world will have its impression of a flailing superpower reinforced." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Trump is definitely going to take credit for the men’s hockey gold medal.

U.S. Secret Service says its agents shot and killed an armed man who was seen “unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago early this morning”

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

The reference to families is the extra touch that makes Trump a lowlife thug and Trump followers fucking trash.

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

Trump on Gorsuch and Barrett: "I think their decision was terrible. I think it's an embarrassment to their families, if you want to know the truth. The two of them."

We are a nation of laws, not of men. This banner symbolizes a disgusting betrayal of our values. www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...
