For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

It’s my spirit gif!😂
Well, James, you see, it’s really a “cult” more than it’s a “party” these days…

Feel I’ve heard this before…🤔
To call this “batshit crazy” really doesn’t begin to scratch the surface…
It would be SO nice to have a House Speaker that lives on this planet.

Okay - crappy night, day, week, month, year.
Sharing this because it’s amazing and the best part is when George Harrison’s son lets everyone know that Prince is going to unleash a Hendrix-esque solo!
Always wonder what those rehearsals were like!
So “we” are signing up for an indiscriminate bombing campaign against 94 million people?
Jesus Christ… the Dems should just walk out.. leave..
This administration is literally doing everything possible to destroy America’s image and influence abroad.
Shocking and shameful,,,
And now he wants “a say” in who runs Iran…
We’re doomed.
Lord, this country is screwed…
JFC…🤬
No effing way…
More horseshit…
“Nothing can possibly go wrong…”
This is going to get so much worse.
Complete horseshit…
Horseshit…
Noem did the one unforgivable thing: She embarrassed him and made him look bad. She's been on the bubble ever since Bovino got tossed.
What happened in MN was a tragedy and obscene. But now - you're seeing consequences. That's good. Take the W.
Good lord - so much garbage in one article!
“Real change in Iran will require a sustained US military focus in the Middle East that could wear down US weapons stockpiles and leave it vulnerable to attacks from other adversaries such as Russia and China, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.”
The birthright citizenship IS an easy case. That’s the point. That’s the flex. “No matter what rights you think you have, no matter how universally acknowledged you think they are, no matter how central to American values those rights are, WE decide whether or not you have those rights”……

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken told me two factors are likely to determine where the Iran war goes, and how it ends: “markets and munitions.”
You can watch my interview here:
"Militarily closing the Strait of Hormuz—i.e. preventing US Navy access to it—would be hard, but Iran doesn’t need that for an economic impact. Hostilities make ships afraid to sail, and insurance companies refuse to cover the risk."
Looks like the White House really didn't think this through.
This conversation with our dear friend @radiofreetom.bsky.social was a master class. Thanks, Tom, for joining Ben and me the @thebulwark.com’s Command Post.
Say “I have no earthly idea what the word ‘imminent’ means” without actually saying “I have no earthly idea what the word ‘imminent’ means.”🙈
I don’t see myself as particularly “uptight.”
I think the Nazi tattoo is disqualifying.
I think the pathetic attempt to spin the Nazi tattoo is disqualifying.
I think the subsequent “F-k it, I’m gonna stay in this thing even if it costs ‘my party’ the seat” vanity project is disqualifying.
