… And no, he did not remove it as the coffins were carried out

So… how do we feel about Trump wearing a baseball cap to receive soldiers’ remains at Dover AFB today

… If it’s true that the intel suggests an Iranian missile, it’s hard to understand why the administration would be doing so little to counter the increasing media reporting referenced above in this thread.

… Trump was asked about the school bombing today, and said that the information he’s seen is that Iran did it.

Not part of Trump’s new Shield of the Americas: Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico among others.

I’ve seen a report that Haiti wasn’t invited, but don’t really know which were not invited vs declined.

From MS NOW: Obama Presidential Center will open this Juneteenth—and according to Valerie Jarrett, Pres Trump is not invited to the ceremony

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Today is six weeks since Trump said we would have details of the Greenland deal in two weeks.

… CNN now reporting that the US was “likely responsible” for the school bombing, based on their own analysis. Feels like this is approaching a media saturation point where the general public is gonna have in their heads that we killed those girls, and the administration will have to address it.

Cong Darrell Issa expected to retire, per Axios

… The football one went up about an hour ago. Two hours earlier they posted one using big home run swings that cut to bomb video at the point of impact. At least that one is closer to in season.

… OK there’s another WH hype video, this one interspersing bomb video with video of big NFL collisions.

I really dislike the term “eye-popping,” but that is a wild figure.

… Laura Ingraham tweeted that if it’s true, it’s horrific news and the US military will need to address it publicly.

She’s getting blasted in the replies.

… NBC News, WSJ (and probably others I haven’t seen) also reporting that US investigators believe it was a US strike that hit the girls school Saturday.

60 Minutes has taped an interview with SecDef Hegseth to air Sunday.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

I would add 300, so many of them grew up on that

OK it’s being fought by “warfighters,” but that doesn’t mean it’s a war.

… Come to think of it we should definitely sky-write SURRENDER MULLAHS over Tehran, but I’m not sure B2s are designed with that capability

Trump is now demanding Iran’s UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER which sounds like something one does in a war but we’re definitely not fighting a war so I assume it’s rhetorical, in sort of a “SURRENDER DOROTHY” way

… Reuters now reporting that U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for the Minab school strike; with caution that investigation is ongoing and this is not a final conclusion

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base
