It's good to remember that while Spain survived Franco, and Panama survived Noriega and Russia survived Stalin, China survived Mao...many hundreds of thousands of individual people did *not* survive those regimes.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Trump 3/9/2026: "Iran also has some Tomahawksβ¦A Tomahawk is very generic."
Trump 3/13/2026: "Nobody has the technology or weapons that we haveβ¦We have the Tomahawks."
For someone who was just in the Oval last week, this is getting ugly quickly.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarterβeven the declaration of no quarterβis a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
This is a government account.

NEWS: The Trump administration just gave Vladimir Putin another break. Treasury issued a license letting countries buy Russian oil already loaded onto ships before March 12, allowing those sanctioned shipments to still reach buyers, handing the Kremlin a financial lifeline.
But genocide Joe β¦.
Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
Hmmm, it was just reported on MS NOW that the money set aside for the Pedo Felons presidential library has mysteriously disappeared! Damn Biden!
Why isn't this talked about?

BREAKING: Massive Jeffrey Epstein BOMBSHELL drops as the pedophileβs personal accountant reveals that Epsteinβs estate paid off one of Donald Trumpβs accusers.
This isnβt a smoking gun, itβs a smoking cannon....

U.S. OFFICIALS REPORT THAT IRAN IS LAYING MINES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. THIS CONTRADICTS EARLIER REMARKS BY TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT WHO STATED IRAN HAD NOT MINED THE STRAIT.
Ok @RoKhanna, just to be clear: You proudly stand with @grahamformaine who has a well documented pattern of embracing Nazism & antisemitism, and you proudly stand with @hasanthehun who loves Hamas, hates Jews, and believes America deserved 9/11? If so, thatβs super disappointing.
This is just plain wrong. And self-serving. It was never intended to be a lifetime position. Clyburn should retire. And let a new voice serve. Same with Chuck Grassley & all other career politicians (Republican & Democrat) whoβve been in Congress since the Industrial Revolution.

Those social media posts were beneath the dignity of the White House, and they were released a day before the dignified transfer of American soldiers killed in the ongoing war provided an image of how deadly serious war is....
Russia is helping Iran find and kill American service members, and Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to condemn Putin. In fact, heβs been as lovey-dovey as ever with Putin the past two weeks.
Trump works for Putin. Trump is a traitor to America.
Oh I did not know that , thank you . I perked up when I saw this because itβs such harmful policy in Puerto Rico
I think one reason that there are leftists endorsing a Nazi-curious POS like Platner is that, despite their constant valorization of the "working class" (i.e., white men), they're the ones who think racism is a natural component of that class, so hey, why not run a guy like Platner? 1/2
Figures
Ok I think I did it right. Please check and let me know , thank you
Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
WICKER: Sen. Gillibrand, you did not mean to say that we targeted a school?
GILLIBRAND: That missile hit a school
"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran
