Unmitigated, multi-dimentiona, multi-generational disaster caused principally by Trump and the US, and secondarily by Netanyahu and Israel. The world will not forgive us in my lifetime.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Russia has discovered a new purpose for drones, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu writes: “Instead of avoiding civilians, Russian operators can now target them, as if they were playing a video game”:

NEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

I can’t even find many Republicans who are still backing Max Miller after yesterday. Except the moral paragons Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership of the House.

Another Trump failure

Good to know after a tough weekend on the golf course the president is back at work laser focused on improving the lives of Americans by resuming his deranged AI marathon.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING

America First.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

And all this time I was thinking he’d get away with stealing 20% of a non-profit organization.

FIFA President Infantino announces the FIFA privatization scheme will NOT proceed after fierce backlash and growing divisions over the plan. The reversal comes after European nations announced a boycott and CONCACAF rejected the proposal, which involved a private equity deal tied to the Kushners.

Gee, if they lied to us about the reflecting pool, ya think they might be lying about other stuff too?

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

Like so many other things, it was a deranged lie from a sick, twisted, demented scumbag who uses narcissists and unqualified hacks to do his dirty work because, besides being a soulless windbag devoid of normal human emotions and morality, fundamentally he’s a coward.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

Sure did! 😬

Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

Historically, Trump's numbers are closer to those of presidents who aren't invited to the next nominating convention than to presidents who get to hand pick the next nominee. Act accordingly.

Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

The only thing worse than having one of the biggest morons on the planet running your country is having one that thinks he’s actually smarter than everyone else.

My unsolicited advice to Republicans for the midterms is to spend every day from now until the election talking about Fauci & Covid. Maybe even promise more Fauci hearings if you retain the majority. Let Rand Paul speak in every swing district/state. Should be a winning formula.

If Biden fell asleep as often in the middle of the day at public meetings and events like Trump, Fox would have aired it nonstop day in and day out. But we know they won’t show Trump sleeping. But how much do the other networks show Trump falling asleep and why isn’t more often?

Tell that to the families of the dead American soldiers.
