It's wild how there are at least 20-30 people in the Trump administration who are each,, somehow, the most contemptible person you've ever seen in your life. Just an M.C. Escher staircase of loathsomeness.
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*
Arkansas state house special election.
Flip from R to D.
I've been thinking about this Pew survey all week. It's incredibly depressing and makes me wonder what it would be like to live among people who didn't despise one another. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/03/06/americans-immoral-unethical-survey/?itid=hp_more-top-stories_p002_f006
Gonna see what image generators think about the Maine primary
The roundtable has ceased. Trump can now get back to drapery or whatever
A screenshot of a YouTube video by AP entitled: LIVE: Trump participates in a Saving College Sports roundtable. Trump is seated at a table with a big red carpet behind him holding his hands up in a shrug. Captions: "I'm here as long as you need me. They came to me, they said"
Over 1000 people are dead in the Iran war Trump started for no reason. Crude oil futures spiked: the largest weekly increase on record. 92,000 jobs lost last month. Inflation creeping upwards
Trump has spent the last 1.5 hrs at a "Saving College Sports" roundtable and yes, it is still going
Yes but have you considered America Bad and Everything America Does is War Crimes™️©️
These people will be undercutting their own mid-term message of GOP candidates as fascists - by full-throatedly endorsing a candidate with Nazi tattoos and other unsavory alt-right activity in his background.
Make it make sense.
Platner was recruited by the DSA, but sure, “liberals” are propping him up.
Platner's supporters are a weird mix of DC insiders and people who by any standard would be described as left but luckily on this site we have this category called "liberal" which means "everyone I don't like"
Seems troubling.
More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.
Imagine being a US service member - or a member of a military family - in harm’s way right now thanks to Trump, and watching him refuse to answer a reporter's question about Russia helping Iran kill Americans because they dared to ask during a college sports roundtable on the sixth day of the war.
Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.
Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."
Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.
Like I agree that people should not have suppressed left-wing and liberal critique of Israel, among other things because I was making that critique. But I am quite unhappy with the proliferation of the racist crank critique now and I can't really just shrug at it because it's a direct danger to me.
A friend of mine's father, who it has to be said was already a little kooky, is now sending my friend excerpts from Henry Ford's The International Jew like "wow I never knew this stuff!"
So yeah, very bad.
not just the right, unfortunately
You can see the British Online Right getting more and more antisemitic as the war happens in real time
Honestly, just amazing work, LinkedIn.
More than 1.5 million girls were sent to maternity homes during the Baby Scoop era, where they were kept in seclusion, told they didn’t deserve to be mothers, and returned to their lives to pretend none of it happened.
This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.
Hey I’ve seen this one
So...technically yes, unconditional, but less cut and dried than people think!
Helluva question and thanks for asking it.
...and didn't mention the status of the Emperor in any way at all. It was MacArthur's decision to allow the Emperor to formally remain in power, rather than a stipulation of the surrender terms.
OK you made me work for this one – my WWII and U.S. diplomatic history books are in storage! It seems that both the Emperor's 15 August broadcast and the subsequent Japanese message to the Allies accepted the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, which was "unconditional surrender"...
They’re pretty openly saying that it’s not lmao
Someone fed that line to Bone Spurs Weirdo and it sounded butch to him so here we are.
He'll have a new goal tomorrow.
Yeah, the problem is there is no "US government position" on anything anymore. The US position is indistinguishable from the mad king's whims.
