Donald Trump says, "I don't like this toothpaste being in this tube" and sets a rolling pin on the table. SCOTUS: It's too early to make a decision on the toothpaste. We don't know what's going to happen. Trump rolls the pin across the tube, emptying it. SCOTUS: Eh, what can you do?

Just in case you thought maybe Trump wasn't stupid enough to say "Mission Accomplished" about his Iran War, he is. He even references Dubya's mistake in saying that *as he says it.*

Trump is upset that Pirro dropped the charges against David Hearn, and it's an interesting question why. Using the DOJ to attack political enemies is bad, but this is weirder than that. Hearn is not a political enemy. Trump is willing to use the DOJ to destroy a man just to buck up a lie.

Trump & Hegseth just wanted to kill people. Especially people of color, culture, & need. There was never any defendable reason for blowing up these boats & claiming drug trafficking. Hundreds are dead with no evidence of narcotics. Full stop. Test these 2 for drug use. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump administration’s deadly boat strikes fail to reduce cocaine trafficking in U.S.

Some might argue that if the strikes curtail the drug trade, then it will be worth it. Except that’s wrong, too.

A Xitter exchange between Bret Baier and someone who goes by "X Factor"

X Factor says, "I was watching Fox LIVE on that night and Fox most definitely DID NOT wait until 73% of the vote was in. It was called WAY early and EVERYONE was questioning it. It set the tone for the rest of the steal that happened that night.

Baier posts a screen shot fron FOX News showing the race "Just called" in Arizona with Biden at 53.6% of the vote, Trump at 45.1% of the vote, and 73% of the vote in at 9:21 MT.

Baier says, "This is the on screen graphic from that night. And the exact time. Thanks."

Two of the principles laid out in "The Art of the Deal" are: don't appear too eager for a deal; and, be prepared to walk away from a deal. By rushing to announce a (still being negotiated) deal with Iran on his birthday, Trump signaled that he's eager for a deal and unlikely to walk away.

I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine “sweepers” are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I remember in 2021 when Joe Kent retweeted a video someone posted of a COVID isolation camp the Nisqually tribe were building, and claimed it was evidence "the gov will & can put ppl in a camp, fear is king."

Joe Kent retweet dated Sep 29, 2021. The original tweet reads:
Poster found a Covid quarantine zone under construction on highway 702 between Eatonville and Roy in Washington state. Looks like the banner says “Nisqually active covid quarantine site.” Looks like it is located where the Nisqually Indian Tribe has land.
Joe added:
This quarantine camp will serve 2 main purposes-

Show that the gov will & can put ppl in a camp, fear is king.

Allow the Dems to ballot harvest in a red rural county - who can’t quarantine at home ? The homeless in Seattle & Olympia.

I was wondering how this guy felt about a war of choice in Iran. #JoeKent

A tweet from Joe Kent dated March 17, 2026 that reads:
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

President Trump,

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

...

In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.

Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.

As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.

I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.

It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.

So, I've listened very carefully to this, and I think I understand the issue, and I have an idea. The problem is, we need to have the Strait of Hormuz open to ship traffic. And, from what I've heard, we've destroyed all their mine-laying ships. 1/3

JD responds: These people are incapable of not lying about this.
"Side window"? You can see the photos of the car with bullet holes. The shots came from the front of the car because that's where the officer was standing when he was hit by the car.
He is allowed to discharge his weapon in self defense.

Gotta hand it to Leavitt. She came up with the funniest possible response to reports of Trump officials desperately trying to kill the discharge petition on the Epstein files. It's a show of transparency that their efforts to stop the release will not be detailed to you.

President Trump and other administration officials reached out to key Republicans who have signed on to an effort to force a vote on releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before the push was set to succeed on Wednesday.

CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

Trump also called Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Wednesday morning, but she missed his call and had been playing phone tag with him as of early Wednesday afternoon, a source told The Hill, adding that there had not been outreach from White House staff.

“Doesn’t it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please?” Leavitt said.

“Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?” she continued, adding that she would not detail “conversations that took place in the Situation Room.”

I'm a guy that's always sticking up for establishment Democrats: always seeing things their way. And I am fucking livid at this concession. Voters came through for you in a big way last week, Democrats. Don't you fucking dare throw that away.

Tim Kaine tweet that reads: My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care.
“I have long said that to earn my vote, we need to be on a path toward fixing Republicans’ health care mess and to protect the federal workforce.

“This deal guarantees a vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which Republicans weren’t willing to do. Lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don’t, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will.

“This legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019. That’s a critical step that will help federal employees and all Americans who rely on government services. I’ll keep working towards a long-term government spending plan that includes critical priorities
