The thing is that the Republican Party is incapable of governing and they listen to people like those at Heritage who are bonkers.

It's absolutely crazy that we are just supposed to shrug this off and go about our days like normal

Trump truth social post: If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is insane, untenable, inhumane language. Journalists everywhere should be sounding alarms. People need to start telling him “no”. This has to stop.

And our feckless MSM (the same ones that treated President Biden’s age as a Watergate level scandal) are nothing but stenographers.

Islamist jihadists will using this clip of Trump for propaganda recruitment for the next half a century.

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

As I was saying…

Just a straight up war criminal.

I still sometimes hope that this is all just an elaborate prank.

The president is basically a dog who got a taste of blood.

ProPublica is doing the best work in the media today.

"He wants to be very constructive" -- moments after announcing that he's taking sanctions off Russia without mentioning Russia by name, Trump says "I had a very good call with President Putin" today

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

a graph of crude oil prices, which opened at $115 today and fell down to $85.13

they're calling it the most normal and stable price action of any commodity in global history

As if that’s a criticism? Wild! Yet they’re claiming they’re building democracy in Iran.

If I understand correctly, the thing propping up the global economy is Wall Street’s collective belief that a man whose father, wife, and daughter we killed would not want to do anything that would impact our 401ks to us and will make a deal so Mr. Trump can have a good midterm.

Which is wild to me because they’re also lying about what they support. I’m not sure why they can’t stand 10 toes down and just be like, “I’m okay with oil prices going up if it means more dead [people of an ethnicity/nationality/religion/race] I don’t like.” It’s not like they’d face consequences.

This has been the take from day one. Can’t point out facts if they make Trump look bad.

And the answer is never for Trump to stop doing bad things/be a better President. It’s just to lie about what he’s doing.

it's kind of shocking how many people have looked at the genocide in Gaza and decided it's fine to start posting like Joseph Goebbels after a methamphetamine bender

It has never been more obvious that this country is going through death spasms because half of the white supremacist vanguard are dying pensioners who never forgave desegregation.

We have got to deal with the suburbanite brain disease somehow or we are fucked.

I’ve had two detailed conversations in the past weeks with GOP voters who profess to hate Trump; they can cite chapter-and-verse why they hate what’s happening. They understand they were wrong.

They also both switched into anti-trans conspiracy immediately when they admitted they can’t vote D.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

yeah imagine them being raised in a faith that justified killing people for being the wrong religion

Right, he only ever signs one bill - a tax cut - per term.

Probably not good news that israel and the US have completely opposing goals and arent agreeing in targets first

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

This is why Trump and Hegseth want AI

They want the bravado of war, but not the responsibility of it

The decades-long jettisoning of personal and societal responsibility by the GOP has led us to this moral quagmire

I should be used to it but I will never get over how much leniency and how many chances white men are given.

The world is learning a lot of hard truths about America. One in particular is that the American military is not on the side of justice, nor is it honourable.

They have carried out Trumps illegal war with relish, and have displayed a willingness to kill without restraint.

We should never forget.
