You always gotta calculate where Trump's ramblings originate, he speaks a fair bit of truth through cracked and practiced filters, so it's hard to know precisely, but...
This is a prelude to using a nuclear weapon. Unconditional surrender is what the US demanded of Japan, and it knew how to get it

I will just say it out loud:
I am very concerned Trump will use a tactical nuclear weapon in his quest for a quick victory over Iran.
I am reminded of the story from 2016, when Trump reportedly asked three times in a single briefing why nuclear weapons couldn’t be used:
Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.
I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

JUST IN: US customs agency says it cannot comply with tariff refund order reut.rs/3NjQxW0
BREAKING: The U.S. government must refund all tariffs charged under President Donald Trump's now struck-down IEEPA tariff regime, regardless of whether they filed a suit at the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking a refund, a CIT judge ordered Wednesday. www.law360.com/artic...
We don’t know where the tariff money actually went, right? What if this is another situation where Donnie didn’t have the money?
What does Putin have on Trump that makes him think he can get away with this s**t?
Trump’s best buddy Vladimir Putin is helping Iran in their efforts to target and kill American troops.
Let that sink in.
Rep. Rich McCormick: "If you look at how people are calling President Trump and saying, 'Hey, we're cool, right?' Whether it be Kim Jong Un, Putin's starting to come to the table now. This is going to transform the way we do world negotiations."
The "unconditional surrender" stuff is *probably* Trumpian nonsense rather than policy but again - and I posted about this a few days ago - I'm pretty confident that a country that sustained hundreds of thousands of dead fighting in Iraq isn't going to "surrender" all of a sudden.
The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.
Almost as soon as Jessica Tarlov started to talk about Iran Jesse Watters talked over her. This was right after he had spoke about Iran at length. What is the timeline for Iran? No one knows. As Tarlov was getting another point across Greg Gutfeld talked over her.
I do not have words for the revulsion I feel over this.

This is not good.
The term ”sodomy” low key the most successful and destructive psyop of all time. Cishets took a civilization getting smote for its lack of hospitality to the poor and the stranger and deflected the blame to gay sex for like a million years and counting.
NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Sooo.. not really "missing" then?
In retrospect, it seems like changing the department's name to Department of War was a strong signal of what this administration wanted to do, huh
Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is next.
Keep the pressure on these extremists.
Trump 2024: no endless war?
Trump 2026: no, endless war!
Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.
92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?
Oops. I guess Speaker Mike Johnson's reassurance yesterday that it's not a war, only a "limited operation," is no longer operative.

1. The House Republicans narrowly defeated a bipartisan war-powers resolution Thursday night. The Senate voted on its own version Wednesday night. It failed, too.
Does that mean Donald Trump gets a free pass? Yes, for now.
Costing the US a billion dollars a day to make war on Iran.
I haven’t heard a single centrist politician or columnist for an elite publication or think tank pundit fretting about how we’re going to pay for it, have you?
