Ah, this explains the decapitation strike, arming/encouraging the Kurds, urging the Iranian people to revolt, sinking a ship off Sri Lanka, bombing hundreds or thousands of targets inside Iran, demanding unconditional surrender and regime change, bombing a school, etc.

You and PM Urquhart must have had a knowing mutual respect.

Every goddamn time. At some point you’d think media would stop facilitating the lie that Republican administrations are better for the economy.

“Shield of the Americas” sounds like the Knights of Columbus. Like it will meet in the basement of the local Catholic church with donuts and coffee.

Massie is a rolling worst guy great point meme.

He does not care about us. Unfit.

Oh, you don’t say…

Amazon not working and it thinks I’m in Nashville. I am very much not.

“Corey….baby, calm down. It’s gonna be ok. I’m gonna be Special Envoy to the Shield of…baby, honey don’t yell, it’s absolutely a real. No, honey, we don’t get to keep the jet. No, look, jesus, Corey. Stop. Baby, I’ll run to the Wawa and bring you a pack of Winstons, ok?”

Not shocked Noem has been underbussed, but could he have picked a stupider replacement? Jesus. I suppose the calculation is Mullin’s not smart enough to grift behind his back.

An under-discussed point about this war: a key part of Trump’s psychology is a desperate need for approval from those he admires or wants to emulate (broadly, authoritarian figures). This is not “subservience” or “taking direction” per se. But I think it is a real effect.

We’ve been suffering a similar fate — the long, slow strangling of funding for public education, and more recently the adoption of vouchers for private (largely religious) schools, often benefiting well-off families — in much of the US. The list of harms is long.

One farmed chickens and beans, the other owned a literal mom and pop grocery store.

This is what the grown up world sounds like if you’re eleven.

Ok, this is true but isn’t “more than 4 years of Ukraine” misleading because we wouldn’t give Ukraine long range missiles?

I’m a hater, which makes him saying that even more annoying.

Anyone from Texas have a read on the likely result of Cornyn v Paxton? Are the Republicans gonna get the exact opposite of what they were hoping/scheming for in the general?

It’s a near acknowledgment that the US is a service provider for Israel to advance its regional goals.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

“Epic Fury” is a Zoolander look, not a military operation.

Are they? They seem to be held to a different standard than B1G or Big 12 teams. Hard ceiling, soft floor.

As opposed to, say, Purdue going 5-5 in its last 10 games but absolutely parked on the 2 line.

He’s afraid of death, and more than that afraid of being forgotten in death. He’s desperate to leave something that will force people to remember him (as a “great” something or other).

Not a cult.

This story is absurd. She votes with Trump 100% of the time. The “compromise” she seeks is “violate the Constitution 25% less.” In 10 years she’ll just be Marsha Blackburn.

Wtf, NPR.

The whole Trump/Mamdani thing is evidence that he’s not a real “conservative” but merely a cult leader/grifter with political beliefs that are incoherent at best. He gives his base what they want not because he thinks it’s good, but because it keeps them in thrall.
