They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

why aren't other countries helping us with the strait of hormuz after we started an unjust war, cut off trade, and insulted them for a year?

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

OK, seriously. This is wild. Judge Jay Bybee (1) raises a new issue — the Domestic Violence Clause of the Constitution — to consider in the troop deployment cases; (2) extensively details its historical application;

What’s about to happen at SCOTUS is why I’ve opposed premature declarations of Trumpism’s collapse. Drumbeat since ‘15. Just like Christian fundamentalism has been declared dead every 5-10 years since 1925. When I pub’d The Family in ‘08, interviewers asked why, since Obama was ending Right forever.

Trump sued 60 Minutes for editing a Kamala Harris interview to “make her look better.” Yesterday, 60 Minutes edited Trump’s interview, removing numerous outrageous claims, which made Trump look less insane. Will Trump sue them for it?

And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.” You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.
