Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
This is both remarkable and totally unsurprising.
Here’s a person Trump hired to advise him on war and peace (though realistically probably just war) who has absolutely no idea what the Constitution says on the topic.
Hard to capture Idiocracy more perfectly than this clip. Heaven help us.
In addition to easing sanctions on Russian oil, the Administration maintains its perfect record of screwing American friends and rewarding enemies.
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
He thinks he can just change the channel and tune out the consequences of his reckless illegal war.
Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.
I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
We sacrificed a million plus Americans to die because people refused to put on a mask and help protect each other. We're told taxing the rich to help people have economic freedom is bad.
This is the same level of stupidity and ignorance that is currently judging exhibits at the Smithsonian and National Park Service.
Nick Fuentes is an outspoken white nationalist who has railed about "organized Jewry," denied the Holocaust, praised Hitler, and promoted the racist "great replacement theory" that inspired several mass shootings, but to this College Republican, he's just a funny and thoughtful role model.
The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
"Each person plucked from their day-to-day existence left a whole life behind. There are shoes by the front door and an empty bed. There’s a car in the driveway and a job undone. There are pets that need feeding, bills that keep arriving and leases with months left to pay."
"Everybody can describe it differently" but among the key terms are "mass deportation," "instiling terror" and "murder"
They're freaked politically, but don't buy BS spin that a new DHS Secretary will change things

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
"We blew a bunch of shit up and murdered several hundred little girls. Mission accomplished!"
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
He's been spinning this stupid lie for a while now.
if elon musk was a liberal the right and the press would never stop talking about his weird baby breeding cult. but he's a wingnut so the press mostly ignores it and dems dont say anything about it. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
