Hegseth has by all professional assessments bungled a war against Iran and likely lost it. He is incapable of articulating the reason for the war or the objectives he is pursuing. Yet he is spending almost every waking hour denigrating soldiers, sailors and airmen and trying to foment divisions and

This is one of the most petty, hypocritical and stupid, small but really STUPID decisions the suits at the NFL have ever made. They'll reverse it, which makes them even more hypocritical and stupid. The NFL talks about "protecting the shield” (the BRAND). While they piss all over it themselves.

Persia (Iran) was one of the most impressive civilizations in world history for several millenia. Persia fought Rome and Byzantium to a standstill for roughly seven centuries. Trump is a reality TV actor & failed real estate speculator. This catastrophe was foreseen by all. Especially Xi and Putin.

All Trump did is obliterate our offensive and defensive missile capability, completely drain our oil reserves, and hand the entire Middle East over to Iran, now a regional superpower, having exposed the USA’s lies and weakness under Trump/Hegseth. No one trusts us. No one is on our side anymore.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

This, alone, setting aside the daily litany of illegality and insanity, is plain and clear grounds for impeachment, conviction, and forceable removal from office. The GOP must be crushed for the next several election cycles or, as a moron recently proclaimed, “we don’t have a country anymore.”

Voters hand messes to Dems, who fix them, then infinite loop: Nixon/Ford-Carter-Reagan/Bush-Clinton-W-Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump2.0. Democrats inherit the downturn, repair employment, and absorb the cost on their own ledger. Voters judge the cost, not the cure, because it lands after they’ve voted.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

‘I got carried away’: Elon Musk expresses regret about Doge and wading into Trump’s orbit
Billionaire in interview with the Economist admits he was too consumed by politics and shares predictions about AI Elon Musk has admitted he became too consumed by politics during his volatile alliance with Donald Trump and his brief appointment as the president’s financial axman, running the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge). The world’s richest person, and briefly its first trillionaire after his SpaceX company floated on the US stock exchange in June, made the confession in a wide-ranging interview with the Economist published on Thursday. He shared his positions on subjects from foreign wars to AI, and made a number of eye-opening predictions for the future. Continue reading...

Trump sees every crisis or “big news” as another opportunity to make himself the center of attention and personally profit, from the tariff money “pouring into” the country (a lie), to the 20% Hormuz “toll” (illegal). He’s a sick, demented, erratic and cruel psychopath. We are all in grave danger.

I am fully convinced, observing how the Trump II Wreckage has evolved, that our political and economic systems are far more resilient and self-sustaining than I feared.
