Trump's Iran quagmire is getting worse. Striking pattern:
*Leavitt/Hegseth berating media for making Trump "look bad"
*Rs privately say they don't want ownership of Iran attack
*GOP avoiding using word "war"
On the pod @teotten1.bsky.social and I dig into all of it:

Let's get in the wayback machine and hand out buttons that say WIN for Whip Inflation Now!
Thank you Jerry Ford
Hope you're in good health this time!
Even though AI slop is smarter than Hegseth, it's not a good idea to have computers get used to killing people
When Trump comes to Congress with his (unlimited) Iran Supplemental spending bill, we will really see who/what the Democratic Party wants to be going into midterms and the future.
Will they say how problematic it is and vote yes.
Or will they use the power of the purse to enforce the Constitution
This is really worth listening to. Imagine following the advice of this man when this is his track record.
Also the incredulous face of the sister behind Sen. Tierney is channeling me.
Maybe if you covered his mental health and aging body you might realize he doesn't see it as a gamble. He has spent more time talking about drapes in public than the fallen soldiers
Ironically Saudi won't return the favor and create the space for US Citizens to exit like Bush did in '01

You know the drill, whatever the "war", with Americans at risk, the majors aka the NYT, will give the benefit of the doubt to trump (on everything, including using a foreign action to implement a crack down in the US). No matter how illegal the war.
Not worth it, they'd just make him a propaganda soldier like Vance
You're exhausted? I'm exhausted.
Dem candidate that lost an important race, comes down to them listening to consultants, etc making choices that are out of step with voters and losing.
You know what I lost but now I listen to voters sounds like? I want the job, tell me what you want. Not leading
The illegal war in Iran is going to solidify that position. Affordability is going to solidify it. Citizens who traditionally vote D want an opposition and a declarative sentence statement on how they'll be acheived
The UK by-election results reflect what happened to Ds in the last national election and recent polls show (and which the hidden report confirms), left of center, rock solid voters actually really care abt how Palestinians are being treated and US participation in it. They want an opposition.

He's afraid the Canadian curling team is going to come after him.
What they couldn't find the other entertainers from the turning point half time extravaganza?
But they have to get the just a bunch of boys crazy enough to believe they can win treatment bc that's the throughline to the amateurs versus Russian professionals; good guys versus the autocratic thugs 80s team.
Mary Harris had a good exploration of it
@pbsnews.org are you still unsure about Trump's intent when he makes a statement you call a falsehood?
After all this time?
After all those statements?
You really think you can't divine his intent when he lies about anything election related?
Maybe you're not really a news organization.

The FBI has done awful awful things to US citizens throughout its history with no apologies, no matter that agents and former agents are like the guiding principle is don't embarrass the agency.
Now it's represented by someone who represents the FBI don't give a shit culture and it's perfect.
@froomkin.bsky.social how early does the press usually get an embargoed copy of the speech and how much of the ceaseless commentary and "speculation" that started yesterday guided by that.
They want to destroy farmland, water resources and make me pay more for electric so fucking Claude can write poetry.
How about he try deep sleep mode? You know something a printer can handle. JFC
So if the bbc is sophisticated enough to block IPs from many VPNs, continually, as they shift IPs, what's to stop canvas from doing same
You know we feed, cloth and house people for 20 years to reach this level of bot outrage. Who doesn't want a data center in their backyard to reach more sophisticated heights of llm outage🙄
