Last night, #Ukraine was unable to shoot down any of the 28 missiles launched by Russia: 24 ballistic missiles and 4 hypersonic "Tsircon" missiles. Since last Saturday alone, over 50 ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv and nearby⤵️ 📷: Russian attacks last night

I'm sorry, but literal LOL! I'm not sure whose valor he's stealing, because the guy on the left might be Ivan Pattonov, based on the epaulets. Not sure what nation's uniform Trump is wearing. And the upside down corporal general on the right must be Bob MacArthur, cause it ain't Douglas 🤣

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

If we've depleted our long-range missiles in this on-again, off-again fiasco with Iran, how would we have fought a sustained high intensity conflict like Ukraine? Maybe the answer is we would have had competent people running that war who would not have been focused on creating content? I dunno.

U.S. ARMY HAS DEPLETED MUCH OF ITS LONG-RANGE LAND-BASED MISSILES DURING IRAN WAR: SOURCES

But that's not possible. Trump said the Strait would be open "tomorrow." It is currently "tomorrow" there.

This Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues in the history of Movies imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.

“War is at best barbarism…Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot, nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.” ~General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman, 1879. Image: Nat’l Archives.

BREAKING: President Trump claims Mideast allies have reached parameters of a deal to end the Iran war and says U.S. will hold off on new strikes.

There was never going to be a massive attack this weekend.

TK@tkeck44.bsky.social · 5d ago

Sure.

This is the post I saw. This whole "Leak word of a massive attack over the weekend" then claim "peace in our time" is just gaslighting for domestic consumption. This would get any other president removed from office.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4d ago

Trump again backs down, claiming Iran (and others) are begging for a deal so he can cancel the attack. Same old story: “locked and loaded” threats, then pause for talks on Hormuz and nukes. Get it DONE… until the next time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When the full story of this is told, I suspect some lawyer or group of lawyers in the US Attorney's Office feared for their bar licenses and forced the dismissal and disclosure. trump, of course, doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he continues his lies.

The hope that there will be consequences for everything happening right now is what sustains me. It's probably naive, but I'm going to run with it.

What licensed attorney and federal prosecutor proceeds to grand jury without seeing the evidence? Is there anyone left in the office who doesn’t start their day kneeling before their shrine to Trump?

Assuming all of this is true (I think there's a strong likelihood that it is): a. How did they return a true bill if the elements of the crime weren't proven? b. What AUSA/DOJ official brought this to the GJ knowing the elements of the crime weren't met and/or couldn't be proven?

The good thing about a massive bombing campaign is the effects of it are only confined to Saturday and Sunday if you carry it out over the weekend. Also 🌮🌮🌮🌮

There was some discussion about trying to conclude by the time financial markets open Monday because of concern about how the bombings will affect the U.S. and global economy, but an end point wasn't locked in.
