I would have to disagree with you on that. W was great for bin Laden’s recruitment. Khamenei doesn’t need recruitment. He needs Iran to not be nuked. With 45 in charge, there is a non-zero chance Iran will be attacked. I think he really would like to get 45 and Netanyahu out.
Trump apparently thinks the Senate can use a filibuster to PASS legislation, which is either the dumbest thing he’s ever said, or proof that the dementia is becoming unmanageable.
Trump has stated he’s going to take 10 Billion dollars from taxpayers to give it to his “Board of Peace”
A board chaired by Trump, who appears to have the ultimate decision making power — and who directs where the money is dispersed.
It’s a slush fund with no check or balances. Will Congress approve? Do they even have any say anymore?
Why should travel get a mail in vote exemption?
“Board of peace”? Yeah, right. It should be “Bored of peace”.
Why didn’t Doocy ask him this?
Of course they do. Provided they say “Yes” to him.
Trump on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping: “Arglebargle! Pacemaker! Hum bing pow pow pow!”
It sounds a lot like his infatuation with tariffs. He just sees something that can theoretically be used to coerce people, and doesn’t consider how they actually work. And so tries to use them in wholly inappropriate and self-defeating ways.
Why not both?
Tan the Conman is going to war.
10 days, two weeks. I really think I owe the maga voters a major apology. They always said they needed someone who can run the government like a business. Well, we have one now. One who runs the government like an illegal business.
How far away do you have to go to qualify for “travel”? Is going around the corner to fetch cigarettes far enough? Only if you don’t come back, perhaps? Or is if you go visit your aunt three streets away for tea and cake sufficient? Or must it be out of the state? Abroad even? By plane, car, or train? Bicycle? Chinese EV?
Man, I am so sick of stupid!
On Monday I had a jury trial. During jury selection we always ask people If they have a conflict. We also offer to let people speak privately at the bench if they don’t want to give an answer in front of everybody.
One guy comes up to the bench and tells the judge that he works at “Cent Com” and “we’re really busy right now” so he can’t miss work. The judge excused him from service.
My co-counsel and I looked at each other and asked “what does that mean!?”
Today co-counsel walked into my office. “Did you see the news? Cent Com is busy because we’re going to war with Iran.”
The stupid is flying fast today.
“I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor. Someday I’m going to try. The fake news will say Trump wants to give himself the congressional medal”
“Make America Great Again. It turns out to be rated by stupid people the number one phrase in the history of politics.”
“Jon Ossoff—he’s a real stiff. You know what a stiff is? You don’t want people like that representing Georgia. Who would think that Georgia has a stiff.”
“Jon Ossoff—I competed with him numerous times… He got involved with the senate race. I said he’s easy to beat.” (He was not, in fact, easy to beat.)
“I’ve won affordability.”
Trump says world has 10 days to see if Iran agrees deal or ‘bad things happen’
UK has not given US permission to use RAF bases for Iran strikes
The USA can perform Trump’s fierce goals without the UK, even just landing and refueling. Yet the message here is clear: The UK is done with your shit and is not your poodle. It’s only over a fucking year since he became President again and he has completely cross-cut-shredded the “special relationship.”
And what’s with 10 days? Usually, it was always 2 weeks. Bad things are already happening. Do what you want to do, and let’s then ask every MAGA up for election if that’s a “good thing” because Europe for damn sure won’t be calling it that.
I thought a stiff is a corpse. That he doesn’t know the difference between a stiff and a stiffie explains lots. I wouldn’t put stiffing a corpse past him either.
Not to be outdone by Obama, Trump will just declassify it all. He posted this tonight:
I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.
There is no way, no possible way that Trump wrote that.
How on earth would he know the phrase “à la” and how would he find the “accent grave” on the “à” on his stubby fingered keyboard?
Won’t this be like the third or fourth time he’s done that?
He’s been dictating his tweets at least since 2024. Some poor stiff (see what I did there?) has to sit there with him at 1 in the morning while he rambles incoherently about whatever he just saw on TV and try to make an intelligible sentence out of it.
Presumably it gives the unfortunate staffer something to do before they wipe his bottom and show him which way to his bed…
That picture just looks like Owen Wilson.
