Checking back on the Trump "no new wars" theory, pushed by the isolationist right, plus the "anti-imperialist" horseshoe left, who spent 2021-24 willfully forgetting about all the bombing he ordered, fighting he escalated, and situations he destabilized in his first term. How's that theory going?

Remember, we had a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-kings-n...

I remember when Douthat suggested that a reason to prefer Trump in 2024 was the world became more unstable during the Biden administration. 🙄

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

As I have been saying: Immigrations raids on non-criminal day laborers, and the ensuing US military incursion of California, have been orchestrated by shadow president Stephen Miller. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

A few days ago, Musk called for Trump to be impeached and suggested he was involved in pedophilia. Then Trump threatened to terminate Musk's federal contracts. Now Musk is back to promoting Trump.

People here are saying this better than I did. March every day, if you think it'll help. (Maybe it will.) But don't engage the cops or the military. It'll change the story from "police-state authoritarianism" to "law and order," and that's what Trump's ppl are counting on.

The MSM is fascinated by the Trump/Musk feud; but the actual story - which is one of venal oligarchs fighting over the spoils of a nation they are gutting - is oddly being ignored.

Elon Musk is calling for Donald Trump to be impeached. Donald Trump is calling for Elon Musk to be deported. Both sides have a point.

Today's shabby display exemplifies the pathetic, spoils-driven, dictatorship our country has become. The bickering among graft-driven oligarchs is entertaining -- but it is also a reflection of the decay or our nation.

I want you to all prepare yourself that there's a 50-50 chance that tomorrow morning they kiss and make-up and then they and all the MAGAs who took sides today will pretend it was all kayfabe and they only did it to troll the libs. That could happen.
