Pretty sure Trump needs to be concerned about more than optics at the moment.

The rise in gas prices might be enough to hand the DEMs power in both houses of Congress.

Narcissists always collapse thus. They just usually don't run the most powerful nation in the world at the time.

Just as Trump diagnoses detractors with Trump Derangement Syndrome, so does Epstein.

Democratic congressman references Kristi Noem dog shooting on lapel pin In her 2024 book, Kristi Noem revealed she shot her dog after it killed a family's chickens.

I've been waiting for the first firing from Trump's Cabinet to see how the criminal conspiracy holds together under such conditions.

Will Kristi get to keep her jets?

And her Corey?

Will Corey want Kristi with no power?

At least Cricket got justice.

As war with Iran stretches on, some experts raise concerns over 'war of attrition' with missile stockpiles The U.S. and allies are being forced to use up much of the limited supply of the expensive interceptors to defend against Iran's heavy missile and drone attacks.

Napoleon famously said "an army marches on its stomach."

In the US case in an operation like this the limiting factor might not be Congress as much as our supply of missiles.

The U.S. government is in the hands of a disturbed authoritarian who is surrounded by people who either share his delusions, are too sycophantic to confront him, or believe the president’s delusions serve just fine as a vehicle for their own greed and ideological extremism.

There is a theory of mind being displayed.

It's an afactual, ahistoric and incoherent monism.

Of which faults they are blissfully unaware.

Trump said Gaza could be the β€œRiviera of the Middle East.”

Well, I don’t share his vision in that regard. I believe that Gaza should be led by Gazans, and they should rebuild based on what they want without corruption and terrorism. The same with Yemen, the same with Syria, the same with Iraq. All of a sudden, you can imagine a Middle East where you land in Dubai, and you make your way to Beirut, down to Tel Aviv, to Gaza City, to Cairo.

It’s like the domino theory, but in reverse.

Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

I spent a good portion of the 90s as an expat in various countries and a message like this would have terrified and angered me.

I was in Jakarta during the uprising that took out Suharto and our Embassy there was far better prepared for that than our current State Dept. is for this war of choice.

It takes somebody who has no idea how to run a state to think this idea of "pick a leadership group out of a hat" plan will ever work.

Zelensky fears Trump's Iran war could hurt Ukraine Ukraine fears what soaring oil prices and a shortage in air defences could mean for them.

Very pleased but not surprised to see Ukraine on the forefront on drone tech.

Neccessity being the mother of invention.

They change the facts on the ground at everywhere they are aimed.

Drone Warfare is next gen.

But I get your point.

Anyone who's watched the effect drones have had during Russia's invasion of Ukraine should have understood the economics of drone warfare.

They are cheap to make but very expensive to shoot down.

This is madness.

So much of what comes from the WH will come to be seen as propaganda for some insider dealing.
