I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Much as Soviet propaganda accurately depicted the United States as a racially tiered society, Iranian propaganda has accurately depicted the Trump administration as entirely run by pedophiles.
It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.
These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽
"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged 'north Texas antifa cell,' the researcher testified Monday."
And why the fuck are they quoting Cuomo? Who gives a shit what that asshole has to say? He lost. Decisively.
I like this analogy, and I'm going to try to figure out how to expand it to encompass the fact that at volumes greater than a sip—a novel, a movie, even a three-minute video clip—AI turns inevitably to bilgewater.
This really does hit the nail on the head.
Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.
This is fucking awesome. Don’t ever think you can’t do anything to help because you don’t “know enough”.
I agree in general, but maybe we need to bleed them for a while the way we’ve been bled for 45 years to get us back to even keel. I want to pay taxes! But I want to destroy the rich first.
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
The United States blatantly lies about sinking an unarmed Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean
When your reputation is already orange how much more tarnished can it get (rhetorically)
At this point I hope he lives long enough so that we can watch him hang
It seems almost pointless to note that if Obama wore a baseball cap in this situation he would have been absolutely pummeled in the media, from Fox to NYT, but I'm going to do it anyway.
There are no words
Is the theory that republicans won’t help real people unless we give away more of the country’s wealth to the richest, so fuck it?
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
As good an image as any to illustrate America’s contribution to Middle East peace, order, and stability over the last 30 years.

“The reason why fools and knaves thrive better in the world than wiser and honester men is because they are nearer to the general temper of mankind, which is nothing but a mixture of cheat and folly.” -Samuel Butler
worst day of the year. hour stolen from night time given to the smug idiot breakfast eaters. the rise and shine clowns
I’m more convinced every day that Murphy needs to replace Schumer as Minority Leader.
Jake Tapper is seriously a horrendous person
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
Markwayne Mullin was caught lying on the record about the former CDC Director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by his Republican colleagues in the Senate chamber in September. He’s not honest or competent, and anyone who respects him is a fool.
