He almost certainly did, unfortunately. Polls showed Harris behind throughout the entire campaign. He would have cheated any way he could if he thought he was losing, but he didn't have to.

So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.

Understandable feeling, but really, you aren't missing anything. My siblings who live in San Francisco and Los Angeles don't seem to miss anything.

When one political party is advocating eliminating their opposition, apolitical is a political stance.

To recap - Trump just fired Noem because she revealed he let her do some corruption too... replaced her with the most dimwitted obedient senator he could find... and didn't even tell her, letting her do an event here in Nashville where she was the only one who didn't know she was canned

leadership!

It's hard to take in. I think we're trying not to take it in, but here it is anyway.

Pete Hegseth is one Iran update away from showing up smeared in fake blood, war paint and holding up plastic skulls.

Brava Rep. Crockett: "โ€œTexas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win..."

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

First US soldiers to die in Iran conflict are identified Four of the six - ranging in age from 20 to 42 - have been named after the drone strike in Kuwait.

They died to protect names in the Epstein Files.

You will not convince me otherwise.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Tr*mp has already lost interest in the war he started. He had no plan in the first place, but now that gas prices are going up he wants us to focus on his ballroom drapes.

I don't think that's what is happening at all, but of course, any reaction will be condemned, so pile on.

Let us bow our heads and pray that it's a serious measles complication and that RFK jr is overseeing his health journey.

He also suborned lies about Hilary, lied about his taxes, treated his fans like the gullible idiots they were, and helped Trump into the Oval.
