So, we’re almost out of weapons then.

Everyone on the right is a Trump whisperer. Can we not just take him plainly at his word? Why do we have to get “what trump actually means is…” from a hundred different viziers?

They will do everything they can to not admit he’s rambling madman with no new ideas and a lot of very bad old ideas.

Reporting yesterday seems to indicate the pentagon thinks “at least through September”.

Ron Johnson is comically, tragically wrong. Very likely, in twenty years, we will still have soldiers in Iran.

The Trump and the Republicans just started another forever war, and they’ve managed to provoke the one enemy in the region that can blow up the world economy in the process.

Jill is right. We are the baddies now.

Ukrainians today be like :

Gas stations gotta get in on the price gouging action before there’s even a shortage.

Other things “on the table”:

Another forever war in the Middle East.

Another trillion in war debt.

More sons and daughters dying in a foreign war.

How many times does this country have to touch the stove?

When will the voters put this party of dunces out to pasture once and for all?

Sure it is. I have a good name for it:

Operation Epstein Defense

A few drones will get through every time. They will kill people and destroy things more expensive than what they cost.

Did these people pay no attention to the last four years in Ukraine?

A few drones will be getting through six months from now.

Warfare changed. Hegseth doesn’t realize it yet.

Is the goal to start 1 war per month this year? I missed the memo.

All lies. It didn’t happen that fast. They spent weeks piling up tankers, fighters, bombers, and supplies for this.

They had time to warn embassy staff the day before to get out.

They knew in advance with plenty of time.

They chose not to warn US citizens because they don’t care who dies.

Good luck getting insurers to insure any ships passing through what might as well be labeled “The Strait of Drone Attacks”.

Iran only needs a small percentage of very cheap drones to get through to very expensive ships to make the economic damage too high.

god fucking dammit

This needs to be taught in schools so people will learn to recognize it.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Let it burn

It only took them 30 years after Unix/Linux had it to discover cmd line package management and installation? Wild.

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

So we’re paying for the state dept to reinvent VPN routing?

Just another level of stupidity and “hold my beer” every day.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

That’s going to haunt the admin in federal court cases when they try to claim posts are not official policy.

This will have big effects in terms of layoffs and shrinking economic activity.

When investors finally tire of AI corps lighting $5 on fire to make $1, markets will seize and we will have a nice financial collapse, possibly a depression.

We were fools to bet on nothing but big tech for 30 years.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

So we can type split.string in code to just do it, or we can type a paragraph into the environment destruction machine and let it burn a few trees and several gallons of water to maybe do the thing.

Do I have that right?

Makes sense. Musk’s current distractions to hype for funding are running out. He needs a new shiny thing he doesn’t have to deliver for 10 years to make people give him more $$.
