Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

Classic Orwellian doublespeak

It’s a real Ship of Theseus situation for a lot of these gals….

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social for today’s Noem-joke win

His makeup is weird today — looks like extra contouring to give Mar-a-Lago face?

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect

My favorite KN post so far

However, as some posters have pointed out, she might have to spend some time getting sued by Minnesotans first.

If I were Kristi Noem I would just quit politics, find a ghost writer for my memoirs, and look for a Real Housewives gig. Surely she's grifted enough cash to enable her to retire to her ranch and take pot-shots at puppies in peace.

Oh, please let this be so!

Translation: We've started a holy war that nobody asked for, but just boil some hotdogs for your kids and don't worry about it.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans stranded in a war zone Americans in 14 countries were not advised to evacuate until three days after the Trump administration began major combat operations in Iran. By that time, much of the region’s airspace and most…

FACT: The Trump administration started a war in the Middle East with NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to ensure the safety of the hundreds of thousands of American citizens in the region.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

"'It’s always been this way, [asshole]' is a muzzle pretending to be a megaphone."

Becca Balint is what a real warrior looks like. I wish her statement here could be played on a loop during every one of the president's pitiful, fact-free cabinet meetings.

That's....literally not what "imminent" means.

I'm sorry, he's saying the *Iranians* had their first two plays scripted but don't have any other ideas after that?

Every accusation a confession, forever and always.

i thought you had to officially declare war but maybe that’s just for thumbs

Crazed American Fundamentalist Leaders Chant 'Death To Iran,' Launch Holy War Launching Armageddon to bring about the return of Christ is not subject to the War Powers Act.

If. you're not terrified that there are a bunch of apocalyptic fundamentalists commanding troops and actively telling them that the war in Iran is designed to bring about the end times -- you SHOULD be. @doktorzoom.bsky.social @wonkettemedia.bsky.social

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.
