A few hours after NYT reported that the U.S. bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing many children, the White House last night posted this video mixing airstrike footage with Top Gun, Iron Man, Gladiator, Halo, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, John Wick, Superman, Transformers and Dragon Ball Z
I'm not sure this Trump guy is up to the challenge, folks.

Mission creep at warp speed
Russia was responsible for sudden volatility of the oil and gas market, which Americans endured to uphold the rules-based order and support Ukraine.
Iran isn't responsible for the sudden volatility of the oil and gas market today... we are!
With all due respect, this framing is insane.
Americans suffered through a spike in gasoline, oil, and natural gas prices in 2022 because RUSSIA STARTED AN ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION.
Americans are now suffering the same because DONALD TRUMP STARTED AN ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION.
The world is watching Trump turn our nation into a rogue state as he threatens our allies, abandons the vulnerable and unleashes chaos that impacts their families directly and indirectly. Iranian civilians went from a brave struggle against their own tyrannical government to fleeing bombs from ours.
I suspect one of these motor mouths (probably Trump himself) will validate my suspicion in the next few days, but he is clearly using Japan 1945 as his model for Iran 2026.

Welcome to Hell, everybody.
I guarantee you these are as "real" as the numbers can get. If someone was asking BLS employees to shade the numbers for political reasons, I would have a text message about it.
My brow is furrowed as I type and graph this.
Why would the BLS release fake numbers that are bad for Trump?
The numbers are as reliable as they can be.
Trump take job.
Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.
I'm sure that Telegraph columnists will welcome their new German overlords

Hard to believe Donnie fucked up in the exact way everyone predicted he would
Living in Dubai never made any sense! It’s terrible.
They got lucky in Venezuela. There was tactical skill too, of course, but if the rest of the regime didn’t want to play ball, if Maduro dodged it, if a lucky shot or accident killed US troops, etc.
Trump and Co. were really feeling themselves after Venezuela, and thought Iran would be easy too.
Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
The White House did not directly comment on the investigation, but press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Reuters, “While the Department of War is currently investigating this matter, the Iranian regime targets civilians and children, not the United States of America.” Asked about the incident during a news briefing on Wednesday, Hegseth said: “We’re investigating that. We, of course, never target civilian targets. But we’re taking a look and investigating that.”
We would never target civilians except for those 150 little girls and don’t forget the hospital and of course all of the other collateral damage from our thousands of illegal strikes so far this week.
This isn’t just impeachable, this is criminal negligence and in a just society everyone involved (including the weapons officer who released the munitions) should face prison. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
“I guess,” Trump, 79, responded. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things." "Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die."
It’s unimaginable that any other president in U.S. history would have such callous disregard for Americans.
Honestly, this headline quote is impeachable. people.com/trump-says-i...

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
If you watched The Simpsons back when it was still good you’ve seen every scene of that film done up as a skit though.
I dunno, I feel like we probably shouldn’t host the World Cup or Olympics if we’re threatening to invade Greenland and Canada and either bombing or threatening to bomb Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, and Cuba.

The Republicans’ cowardice during this Article I crisis amounts to a de facto nullification of Congress.
The Republican-controlled House and Senate refused their constitutional obligations today by not initiating the War Powers resolution. But they did not affirm, authorize, or support the war at all in any way. It remains completely illegal.
