Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.
A first piece of good news today.

❗️❗️A Russian-made navigation system, first seen on drones intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses in December, was found in a drone that recently attacked a British air base in Cyprus, — The Times.
Russian hackers have targeted messaging apps used by Dutch officials, intelligence services in the Netherlands said on Monday, part of what they described as a "large-scale global cyber campaign."
We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.
Trump, who just last night was saying he would escalate the war in Iran, had a phone call with Putin and now says he's going to end the war soon.
Looks like Trump being Putin's puppet is paying a positive dividend in this case. So yay, I guess? www.reuters.com/world/kremli...

Trump's Barbie Doll happily announces death and destruction.
This is not Franklin D. Roosevelt that we’re dealing with.
I am so tired of this classless, clueless embarrassment of a president.
Remember in 2020, when then President Trump stated that Putin putting bounties on American soldiers was a hoax? I’m convinced that the kompromat Putin has on Trump, is career ending!
🚨 NEW: The drone that hit the UK's air base in Cyprus was equipped with Russian military hardware

Trump is a traitor. Plain and simple. He supports Russia who is giving Iran intelligence against our military. Trump is absolutely detrimental to the future of the U.S.A. Fly your flags MAGAts.

Swedish authorities said the Guinea-flagged cargo ship was suspected of safety and seaworthiness violations.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
The Iran war is causing a sharp rise in the price of jet fuel, a major cost for airlines that will soon be passed on to travelers.
Sounds like a new war aim -- on top of the 10 existing ones.
Ukrainian President made a surprise visit at the frontline, this time in Druzhivka. The city is one of the fortress cities in Donetsk region and the very heart of the free Donetsk region which Russians desperately have been trying to take for 4 years and now want to get for free.
