Dang. That explains so much. Like the time I tripped over my cat. And the time my neighbor and I bumped into each other in the laundry room. And the time I drove into a post. Two objects trying to occupy the same space at the same time. Who’d a thunk it. That’s one deep dude-dude we’ve got in the presidency.
It’s like having two different bars that you like to go to. They have the same booze, the same snacks, and the same TVs, but maybe one is a little rougher than the other. The atmosphere is a bit different. Not exactly the same crowd. You’d hate to have them combined into one bar, wouldn’t you? That would take some of the sport out of it.
U.S. forces carried out airstrikes in Somalia on Saturday targeting a senior Islamic State attack planner and other members of the militant group, killing many of them, President Donald Trump said.
“These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians.”
Saturday’s strikes were carried out in the Golis Mountains and an initial assessment indicated many militants were killed, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said. No civilians were harmed, he said.
Reuters could not independently verify those details.
I read this exact comment, minus the sarcasm tag, in a response by a magaflatearther in a comment on one of the news reports about the strikes. The rest of the post, of course, was Trump fanboy masturbatory glee.
The United States wants Ukraine to hold elections, potentially by the end of the year, especially if Kyiv can agree a truce with Russia in the coming months, President Donald Trump’s top Ukraine official told Reuters.
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said in an interview that Ukrainian presidential and parliamentary elections, suspended during the war with Russia, “need to be done”.
“Most democratic nations have elections in their time of war. I think it is important they do so,” Kellogg said. “I think it is good for democracy. That’s the beauty of a solid democracy, you have more than one person potentially running.”
We all know how much respect Trump has for the results of an election. This time, though, he’s got a reason to tout it even though Ukraine law prohibits elections during martial law. From the link above:
“Trump is reacting, in my view, to … Russian feedback,” the official said. “Russia wants to see an end to Zelenskiy.”
