The Pentagon recently signed a contract to increase Patriot interceptor production to 1000 per year. Meanwhile, the US and the Gulf states have likely already burned through twice that number in less than a week.
Susie Wiles: Gotta do something about gas prices
Trump advisor: Let's lie about it.
Wiles: Tried that
Advisor: Say gas prices are going down?
Wiles: But they're not
Advisor: OK, berate media to say up is down.
Wiles: Gas station signs
Advisor: Have we tried asserting things that aren't true?
I have hit the tab limit from time to time, and then the computer seizes, and/or the browser crashes — the machines way of telling me that it is time to “turn it off and turn it back on again”!
I currently have 312 open tabs on one of my browsers.
I know this because I’m trying to fix my internet and I just saw them all striving to reload.
I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Once is conceivably a mistake (though I can't be sure with this crowd). Twice is reckless disregard. Three times is conscious terrorism and the stuff of war crimes tribunals.

![And to think that we could go in there and have nobody killed, not lose one aircraft, where we’re going 1,800 miles an hour over a small area with 152 different planes, different planes and helicopters, is pretty amazing to people, you know.

David E. Sanger What — what did that feel like? You were down at Mar-a-Lago? President Trump It’s like watching a movie, except you’re — it’s a little bit, you know — look, you don’t know if — Katie Rogers Are you worried when this is happening, while you’re watching? Or what is going through your mind? President Trump Yeah, I’m worried that it ends up being Jimmy Carter disaster that destroyed his entire administration.
President Trump I looked at — I looked at some of the attacks. I studied the Carter attack. It was a disaster. I would have never done it that way. David E. Sanger You were talking about the attack. I was asking about the occupations that followed — President Trump You know, they had — they had a — they had a sandstorm. Did you know that? And they decided to go forward. We would go back, and let’s hit it three days later. They wanted to go forward, and they said, keep going. Helicopters don’t work well in the sand. Karoline Leavitt Sir, do you want to show them the renovations?
Today's a good day to note that in his interview w/NYT Trump conveyed a real terror of becoming Jimmy Carter.

Idk, maybe because the people who bought up all the outlets have gone out of their way to not give people what they want?

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
Jawa-like!
Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:
“I guess.”
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
He can’t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.
Bookmarked this for “oil has pretty much stabilized.” Let’s check back next week on this.
Asked if we should be worried about Iranian attacks on U.S. soil, Trump said: “I guess…When you go to war, some people will die.”
What a shameless fool.
Fox: A record number of people tapped into their 401ks early last year. About 4.5 million people took out hardship withdrawals. The number is concerning.
First they came for the journalists.
We don't know what happened after that.
I’m afraid he’ll put up a fight. Literally. He’s a former MMA fighter if you can’t tell from his conduct.
When even war crimes arent enough of a distraction!
That’s why the first Trump admin moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - they thought it was an important step in bringing on the Rapture.
I think It was Mike Hucklebee who was SecState at the time, and he said this directly in an interview.
Do I think Donald Trump believes any of that? No, of course not—as far as I can tell, that dude believes nothing beyond his own bullshit. But he’s easily manipulated by folks who really, genuinely believe it, and likely see him as a convenient tool
Folks who didn’t grow up in American evangelicalism & think that “we’re at war to kick off Armaggedon” story sounds far-fetched—it isn’t. There are many folks—lots now in positions of power—who desperately want war in the Middle East because it’s required by their interpretation of Biblical prophecy
“They’ve lied to the American people. We are clearly at war.”
@premthakker.bsky.social asked Rep. Pat Ryan whether the illegal strike on an Iranian naval ship violated the law of war.
