Second time today Trump had begged other countries to help with the Strait of Hormuz. This winning sure looks weird.
Hilarious that in the same post threatening the media for spreading "hoaxes and distortions," the FCC Chair calls Trump's 1.5 percent margin in 2024 "a landslide election victory."
For those who think that the US armed forces would never carry out illegal orders from the Trump administration, note that they are still carrying out boat strikes--which experts agree are illegal. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...
(NYT) - The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad urged all American citizens to leave Iraq immediately on Saturday after the embassy was attacked overnight for the second time since the war with Iran started.

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he feared the alliance could collapse during the Trump years, describing moments when tensions within NATO were extremely high.
The US military can take over the Strait of Hormuz. But it would require a big ground invasion and sustained occupation of Iran’s coastline (at minimum).
The straightforward reason why I, with no access to classified info, knew the US had no plan is because they didn’t position the assets to do it.

Watching these guys learn basic geopolitics in real time is incredible. Ah so that's why you need allies. I see
Two weeks in and he’s begging for France and China to save him like a dog.
Trump Admin starts war.
Trump Admin shocked by consequences of war.
Trump Admin urgently (!) tells Americans caught by those consequences to get out! get out! and no there's no help coming from the Trump Admin, and good luck finding a land route out somewhere.

Hell yes, Democratic candidate Andy Thomson just won the Mayoral race in Boca Raton, Florida and flipped it from red to blue for the first time in over 30 years.
He won by just one vote. Every vote counts which is why fascists are trying to take away voting rights.
I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.
Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.
Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.
Trump now reduced to begging other countries, including China, to send warships to help reopen strait of hormuz. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Americans are not prepared to handle a constant flow of images like this of young people who died in service of a war that the majority of the US public does not support.

He broke the rules based international order... and now expects it to magically snap back in his favor.
He's a wishcasting menace
Donald J. Trump ® @realDonaldTrump The Iranian National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don't believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP. Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @ NimaTavRood So FIFA, you're hosting the World Cup in a country whose president just threatened the lives & safety of the players of one of the teams that have qualified for the tournament. This Goebbelsian pantomime MUST END NOW!!!!
Nasser Al-Khori - ناصر الخوري @al.- 14h X Funny how journalists and FIFA suddenly go quiet on "human rights" when the host is the United States. After the illegal US-Israel war on Iran, a boycott sounds completely justified. Qatar faced a decade of scrutiny and accusations — yet we didn't start a war 100 days before hosting the World Cup. In fact, we delivered the best World Cup in history. If @FIFA.com had any consistency, they would consider stripping the US of hosting rights — just like they did to Russia after Ukraine. So why the double standard?
That FIFA World Cup isn’t going all too well

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Honored to have the opportunity to speak to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights yesterday and to be quoted here.
Trump sends out invitations to WWIII
there's a reason why historically countries do their best not to find the 15 stupidest, most malevolent people in the whole population and hand them the govt
they absolutely do have control over the situation
Trump can stop bombing them today (he absolutely should) but the world economy is fucked unless Iran decides to open the strait and there isn’t really anything anyone can do about it
He is begging like a dog, one might say.
This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.
Senate Democrats laying the groundwork for a war powers vote on something that hasn't happened (yet)
