I just read this book by @tialevingswriter.bsky.social It's a survivor's tale. We often don't know what we don't know, and that's how I'd describe my ignorance of US Christian fundamentalism. This is hegseth's creed, and others like him. Women crushed and erased in the 21st century. Believe it.
"I'm a nice guy. Why can't I 'get' a girlfriend?"
"I deserve a woman."
"Women mistreat me by rejecting me."
"Women have too many rights."
"God says..."
"Hitler/Trump/Nero/Genghis says..."
The evolution of a fascist man 👆🏻
It's always the entitled men whom nobody will fuck, due to their entitlement.
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
Before the £575m sale to Axel Springer, The Telegraph was owned by RedBird IMI—a joint venture between US firm RedBird Capital Partners and Abu Dhabi's International Media Investments (backed by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan).
The Telegraph has been acquired by the German publisher Axel Springer (German version of Murdoch) for £575m.
CFR: Meanwhile, the head of Europe’s police body said yesterday the war could have “immediate repercussions” in regard to terrorism, violent extremism, and cyberattacks. Trump, asked Wednesday whether Americans should worry about attacks at home, replied, “I guess.”
CFR: Qatar’s energy minister issued a stark warning about the war’s impact on energy prices today, telling the Financial Times that continued war could force Gulf energy exporters to shut down production within days and drive oil prices to $150 per barrel.
One of the first things Trump did after he got elected in 2016 was give classified intelligence to Russia
So how much secret information about our forces and war plans have Trump-and now Hegseth-given to the Soviets over the years, either directly or through their bumbling incompetence
kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.
Trump's economy lost 92,000 jobs in the month of February.
The unemployment rate has also risen to 4.4%.
Trump, when asked if Americans should worry about Iran attacking the US:
"I guess... Like I said, some people will die... When you go to war, some people will die."
Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..
So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.
So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.
So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.
Got it.

WaPo: "Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war."
US is moving to surge firepower over Iran, per officials at CENTCOM HQ. Bomber strikes are being stepped up and additional fighter squadrons are being deployed.
UK decision to allow US to use its bases at Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean) and RAF Fairford, UK, will facilitate the increased strikes.

“.. the prospect of Ms. Halligan losing her license could serve as a check on administration lawyers who have been accused by judges of pushing the boundaries of the law or intentionally misleading the courts, which has happened frequently in recent months.”

I believe Rep. Underwood.
Here's the deal. Iran was designated as a sponsor if terrorism since I was a baby. I ain't about to debate that. The problem is that Obama had handled this shit with diplomacy. Bolton reignited this shit Trump's first term. This was unnecessary. Israel did not have to talk Trump into anything
