Like, how many dudes think that flattening Iran will wash away Afghanistan the way H. W. Bush tried to use Desert Storm to wash away Vietnam?

crazy you have to understand this government through that lens. a shocking amount of people voted for him in order to win online arguments. they fall in behind any braindead shit he does to win online arguments. however many thousands of iranian dead dont matter. but the menchies? those matter a lot
trump is taking political hits on iran is because he is now undermining his supporters' ability to win online arguments. you can just own them ruthlessly on the iran thing now for being dumdums. and this they cannot bear. they can tolerate any amount of murder and mayhem, but not being owned online
i love labor protest and solidarity, but also staying this still during 'gasolina' is terrifying
Jasmine Crockett never hired a campaign manager.
X is exclusively propaganda now and it’s so funny to see all these people with totally cooked brains go
“@grok is this real?”
and then Grok actually tells them “no, this is a fake conspiracy theory” so they just ignore Grok

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell, 1933, The Triumph of Stupidity
Watching normal defense posters under the previous admin go insane:
As soon as he broke free from T&P it became clear they'd been keeping his crazy in check.
Always strange to see people you thought were normal go completely off the rails
Army inked a deal with a Series A startup partially led by the previous Director of OSC, the most serially dishonest and incompetent Biden pick I’ve ever encountered and they’re going to make him Secretary of the Air Force.
He should be tooling around in a federal prison’s wood shop.
No justice.
I’m on a podcast shared with 65k subscribers, I have two advanced degrees, and I have 25 years of DoD adjacency. Led troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Did my part.
I’ll knock doors for President Ossoff and then his national security team will look at my resume for 3-4 seconds before throwing it away.
Working on it, but I also know the appointee who spent 90 days at OSC and has never closed a commercial deal in his life (and is a USNR Intel fake-ee) is far more likely to be asked to run OSC than me in 2029.
I can’t block out the sun.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Oh so *now* it's the Defense Department
Very confused by people who think folks in Maine don’t know about Platner‘s tattoos already
“It will come up in the general”
It’s come up in the primary! And he has since pulled away with the lead.
Are you under the impression more conservative voters won’t like it?
Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
i'm glad noem got shitcanned, but it's probably worth mentioning that markwayne mullin is legitimately even less qualified to run DHS than noem is. noem at least had executive experience.
Navy nuclear power operators make E-5 after 2+ years of school in not sure how that’s less important or rigorous or knowledge intensive than “tech bro”
no mask, i'm not even sure she has *plate* under the blouse, not to mention the lack of 20 attachments to her rifle for peak operator efficiency and she's fighting against a cartel that will behead you only after hours of intense torture.
it's so funny that this is what every operator chud in this country has wet dreams of being and they couldn't be farther from it. all of but a few of them would immediately shit and piss themselves in anything approximating this. meanwhile, here's Claudia SoAndSo in Jalisco with the strap in jeans.
Berger is now down TWENTY-THREE votes in his reelection bid in North Carolina, worsening from his 2-vote deficit, with provisionals now counted. www.wral.com/news/nccapit...
Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...
You could write the history of 21st century US foreign policy disasters in the Middle East as a biography of this one guy.

It's gonna be wild when next week gas prices have spiked and all of Trump's dipshits are on all the media simultaneously saying both that gas prices have never been lower, and suggesting just walking everywhere instead of driving.
Tragic consequences for the Abu Dhabi Ports tug MUSSAFAH-2 (IMO 9522051, UAE-flag, BV-class, b. 2012, 134gt) which was bombed as it assisted stricken box ship SAFEEN PRESTIGE (IMO 9593517). Sadly, all crew reportedly killed. www.seatrade-maritime.com/security/tug...
living in a walkable city where you can get anywhere you need by walking, by bus, or train is goated in an economic collapsed based entirely on gas prices
