The narcissism. "How dare you question my judgement in launching this nation into a Middle East war without consent".

Imagine being a US service member - or a member of a military family - in harm’s way right now thanks to Trump, and watching him refuse to answer a reporter's question about Russia helping Iran kill Americans because they dared to ask during a college sports roundtable on the sixth day of the war.

Yeah, Trump HATED that question from Doocy because the whole point of the presser was changing the subject from all the bad news to something anodyne.

Props to Doocy for both questions, the second being "What is motivating you to hold this discussion (on college football) now?"

Hang in there. There will be ups and downs but take solace in the knowledge that you will prevail.

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

Today’s weak jobs report raises new questions about Biden’s economic policies

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

So in the same day we got negative data points/price action on:
-jobs
-oil
-private credit
-AI capex intentions

I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.

Russia was behind parcel fires in UK and Europe, investigators say The attacks, which involved self-igniting packages, targeted couriers in Poland, Germany and at a DHL depot in the UK in 2024.

This confirms what we already knew, but what is not talked about enough.
russia, a terrorist state, is directly targeting Europe with acts intended to kill.
It is at war with us.
This will only intensify, maybe dramatically, until Moscow is completely defeated in Ukraine.

FACT: Since 1989, the U.S. economy has added about 51 million jobs. Roughly 50 million of those new jobs were under Democratic presidents.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Trump demands Iran's 'unconditional surrender' as Israel says it hit leadership bunker 'with 50 jets' Tehran residents tell BBC Persian

In just six days we’ve gone from β€œIranians take over your country” to β€œwe’re open to talking with the new leadership of the regime” to β€œI want to pick the new leader” to now β€œunconditional surrender”.

A β€œconcept of a plan”, indeed.

I can almost guarantee that pre-emptive pardons are issued by Trump with every cabinet appointment. And given the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, one could argue that cabinet members are shielded for implementing the president's official acts.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case,
the agents asked

the goal and parameters of the fourth interview.
She indicated she was
aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run.
She asked agents,
"what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept.
The agents also explained why
they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
