β€œHow much Iran will get away with, and how much humiliation the United States will endure, has yet to be ironed out by the negotiators, but the war is now almost certain to end with Tehran’s theocrats firmly in power,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/fNGBk4cQ

His post makes more sense (and alarm) if you consider that he's talking about the USA here and not Iran....

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

Lol, he's inadvertently shown the justices that he's a wet squib.

Trump is the first sitting president in U.S. history to attend Supreme Court oral arguments. The case? His own executive order to end birthright citizenship. What's even more interesting? No one acknowledged his presence. Not the justices. Not the audience. He just... sat there.

I'm convinced he's so aggrieved by the "theft" of the 2020 election that "robbed" him of a 21 to 25 presidency because he's been told he's not going to survive this one.

I've been living Africa for the last while and it pains me to say that there is a very sharp correlation to engagement on bluesy with being here vs using a vpn. That's pretty sad.

All I can say about all these maga fucks is, cardio vascular disease owes us our mother fucking money back.

I wonder if anyone has told Oprah yet that all this crazy batshittery will one day be found by historians to have its genesis with her promotion of weirdo creeps who spew'd forth their bile to start this set this whole shit toboggan in motion?

Stop calling them conservatives. That word arises from conserve, which is the opposite to what they're doing, which is just setting fire to shit they don't like and/or comprehend. There's a much better word for that, extremists.

And say it we shall.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

So this may be a 25th amendment play. JD and musk have decided it's time and musk is goading trump into a major misstep whereupon JD will, with the votes already bought on the cabinet, invoke the 25th. And they might even pull it off.

Looks this might be great...if Qatar tell us one day soon that they've got him trapped on that plane that is under their control and where do we want them to send it.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

What a surprise, Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth have concluded that it would not violate the emoluments clause for Trump to accept a β€œflying palace” 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar.

Approve of this kind of energy. It's the only way.

ICE "officers" are racist cowards just like you. We have been "radicalized" by the Republican attacks to our country, our Constitution and our people. And we are coming for all of you you little Nazi bitch.

In a just world a "Hegseth" would now be the new Scaramucci...

My heart is very heavy as I write this. I come from a long line of military service. I lost 2 uncles in WWII - one on Iwo Jima, and one shot down over Germany. My father lost a leg. My mother was a nurse. When I turned 18, I volunteered for the US Air Force, and went to Vietnam. Bear with me. 1/x

I suspect that after step 2 trump will not only abandon Ukraine, but will actively punish them for refusing his 'wonderful' deal.

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social

I hope people understand what we are seeing here. 1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine. 2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing. 3) The War will continue. 4) The role of Europe will be decisive.

Rage is an emotion discouraged in polite company, but it evolved over millennia for a good reason and it has its ripe season. That has now arrived I fear, but rage must now follow its path, or all is lost.

I fear our friend the United States in grave peril right now. Something needs to be done about what musk and his incel patsy's are doing in addition to the ravings of the mad tangerine pussbag. But be warned, he is absolutely dying to use the insurrection act and will use any ridiculous excuse. 1/

So please keep this in mind in any action you take. Yes they are mostly stupid, but they will use any excuse to draw a false equivalence to Jan 6 and unlike the Biden admin, they WILL go hard on any opening they see.

I find it interesting that the targets of trump's land grabs (Canada / Greenland) are both officially headed by European kings. Do you think he even knows this or is there more to it?
