The announced number of 41 destroyed is to be met with a healthy dose of skepticism as is the est. dollar loss of $2B US. The element of surprise and thinking thru war never gets old. Agitprop does, though.

Predictable gambit due to the Courts knocking down Trump's made-up emergency powers. The clock is running out so he is trying to get another nations to validate his tariffs in trade deals (plural).

America and half-measures: Reducing the voting age w/o reducing the minimum age for Representatives, Senators, and the President set the table for more, not less righteous indignation, of the system. 18-24 yr olds are shut out from voting for their own. Absurd

2014 is not 2025. Few remain from those days and haven't operated independently for a long time. (They were a militia way back then.) FTR: The US vetted them for Azov to receive US-NATO weaponry. Personally more concerned abt far right militias in NATO than Azov shedding blood for their Uk dirt.

Is a BFD. Trump's mucking around w/tariffs, the supply chain, and insulting and offending friend and foe have many orders of effect. And by ignoring climate change's effect on US farming and ranching he is exacerbating both circumstances.

“'Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Trump concludes, after giving SCOTUS an order. Don’t let Leonard Leo tell you what to do, that’s my job!

Notice Trump is NOT boasting about US oil production rather trying to take credit for lower oil prices? US producers' drilling and operating costs are far higher than OPEC's. Lower world prices translate to less and less profits for US producers.
