exactly: Democrats overwhelmingly supported the war powers resolutions because it is painfully clear that the White House lacks a clear strategy on Iran. We can stand with our allies, including Israel, without launching a war with no clear objectives or end. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Further proof that a stopped clock can be right* twice a day.
*Maher is indeed a waste of space.
Trump has posted 25 times since the jobs report came out - 8 times alone about how much Bill Maher sucks. (No argument here.) None of the posts have addressed the jobs report.
A poster that reads America First includes posted notes that read: $20 billion for Argentina Let's take back Panama canal Let's pardon former Honduran Norco president How about Greenland? 10 billion for Gazas "Board of Peace" Let's pick a fight with Canada Let's get into Nigeria Let's show Yemen. Who's the boss? Let's bring afrikaners from South Africa We may have a friendly takeover of Cuba Let's bomb Iran
So much for America First!

Good lord humans are stupid
Ask yourself, do you honestly think Mark is making any sacrifices? He’s safe & insulated in his cocoon, but he’s very happy to let you make the sacrifices for him and his master Trump.
Woke up thinking that maybe all these right-wing women talk about killing dogs as a metaphor for getting so much plastic surgery that they all look like Kristi Noem. They destroyed their previous "ugly" selves. They killed the dog
I’ve been thinking a whole lot about “Charlie Wilson's War.” If you haven’t seen it now would be a good time to watch it since it’s available on a number of streaming platforms. It has a great cast and it’s more than a bit relevant.

Would that be classified as a metaphor?
We know how much this administration values, little girls and women don’t we?
We double tapped a school full of girls.
This was done in our name. And there will, of course, be horrible cosequences. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...
Cannot, or will not?
If Trump’s justification for kidnapping and bombing foreign dictators was that they were up to nefarious shit,
how come he hasn’t gone after Putin?
Many years ago, my students ran a candidates forum, as part of that we asked candidates to submit a 1 page bio & campaign statement, which we published. My kids asked if we should correct their statements for spelling & grammar - I vetoed that, people need to know what they’re getting!
The print press should always quote him exactly and TV should quote him exactly too, the way they do here:
The United States lost 92,000 jobs in February, unemployment is at 4.4%. this is the worst job loss in the last 6 months. So we can add the American economy to the list of things that Trump is blowing up.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.
Doesn’t help that Theil is investing in his own uranium enrichment facility.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
Trump will call this fake and defend Putin. Watch.
Is now a good time to point out that if anybody respects Markwayne Mullin they have no business being in a position of power? And best he is a bully at worst he’s an embarrassment with anger control issues.
We should abolish the United States Senate. It serves no purpose.
What the heck is going on with BlueSky this morning! Constant glitches.

This is the part in the abusive relationship where we worry about whether the spouse has access to weapons. Not a good time for America or the world.
We are entering a really dangerous time not just for America, but for the world. This is the part in the abusive relationship where the husband is loosing control and the battered wife is trying to leave her husband and he murders her.
Gonna start a second war to distract people from the first one.
This war was unprovoked.
Tim Walz was right.
These people are so fucking weird.
