#Resist #FBR. Any public official who still thinks Trump is fit to serve as POTUS isn't fit to serve as a public official either.

Murphy: But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the strait of hormuz. That is extraordinary. If you go deeper into the statement from the Iranian national security council, they claim that trump has also agreed to Iran's right to enrichment, to suspend all sanctions against Iran and to allow Iran to keep their missile program, their drone program and their nuclear program.

@EWErickson So what you’re saying is that when the President of the United States says something, he may mean it , and he may not. And you’re good with that.
You’re an idiot.
English

What's actually happening here is the President has embraced the "mad man" theory and is trying to convince the Iranians that he's willing to do whatever to wipe them out in hopes of getting a deal. The failure is that the President, like so many others, doesn't actually appreciate that the Iranians are mad men who live in a fundamentally religious world where they really do believe they are to wipe out Israel and their citizens are expendable. But no, this is not an unhinged President. It's a man playing a role as a negotiation tactic. Unfortunately, the President is going to be backed into a corner of extreme options by doing this, or be mocked for TACO again.

@GeraldoRivera If any other head of state was in a military position to do this to any other country, and threatened to do it, what would you say about that head of state?
Go ahead, give me an example of where it would be acceptable to you.
You’re a fucking idiot.

I Back Trump
On Easter morning the president came out swinging with a scorching ultimatum. If the Strait of Hormuz was not open by today, which he calls “Power Plant Day, and “Bridge Day,” he promised to unleash hell on civilian infrastructure.
“There will be nothing like it!!!” Sounding more like a bar room brawler than a statesman, he wrote on Truth Social last week, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell--JUST WATCH.”
At tonight’s draconian deadline, Americans will get a true sense of how messy this Iran war is going to get. Since the president has given frequent and ever-changing ultimatums to the Iranian regime it's hard to guess where he's going to land when it comes to following through on his latest threat to wreak havoc.
Surely, he knows that he's not going to make many friends in Iran by blowing up the bridges they need to walk to their marketplace. Under the long-accepted rules of war destroying strictly civilian infrastructure may even be a war crime. But tell that to the people living in Gaza or southern Lebanon or Kyiv. The fact that some noble treaty outlaws certain conduct doesn't make much difference on the ground if your bridge is blown up.
Trump must have figured that if he inflicts enough pain and suffering on the Iranian people, they will have no choice but to overthrow their predatory government. That Regime in Tehran commits war crimes daily. The failed uprisings in December and January show beyond any doubt, that the people of Iran are sick of repression and exploitation. That didn't translate into a successful uprising. Thousands of innocent Iranian civilians were massacred when they heeded the call of Reza Pahlavi the late Shah’s oldest son among others to rise against the regime. Many did. They were cut down.
What should we do about it?
In 2003, remember how shady the evidence was that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? It was laughable. The WMD’s were nonexistent. Yet most politicians including the Clintons went along with President George W. Bush. Essentially, we went to war in Iraq in 2003 under false pretenses. The evidence against Iran in 2026 is clearer. The Regime has been reaping chaos and mayhem since the ignominious hostage-taking in 1979 and the Marine Barracks slaughter in Beirut in 1983.
Historians and journalists will ultimately unearth why this war with Iran happened when and how it did? What role did the failed uprising play? Did Israel help drag us into another Mideast quagmire? But now, as in 2003, there comes a time when Americans must pick a lane. Our servicemen and women deserve our support. If the Commander-in-Chief insists on taking them and us to war against Iran, then God forgive me, however dubious his bluster I back Trump. The Regime must go.
English

@EdKrassen Let’s just skip over the fact that what Trump has threatened to do is a fucking war crime.
English

BREAKING: Human chains of women and young children continue to be formed in front of bridges and power plants in Iran, while most of them probably don't even know about Trump's disgusting threats.
Listen to Fox News:
“The human chains that are now being formed in front of several power plants in Iran. These are mostly women and young children... Reports say fewer than 1% of the Iranian population has internet access, so they may not be aware of the U.S. threats in general.”
Will MAGA cheer if these people are blown up?

@Coach_Hickey5 Either they put some regulations/restrictions on this NIL business or just let the universities call it, and treat it as it will become, a junior pro league. Even now, it has little to do with student athletes in the money sports.

No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.
The crypto ventures. The foreign deals with the Saudis, the Qataris, the Emiratis. The $400 million Qatari jet. The $90 million in media settlements. The gold golf balls from the Japanese.
This is the man who told you he was going to clean up Washington.
For this President, the presidency isn’t about protecting our democracy or the public trust. It’s about turning the highest office in the land into a personal cash register, and he’s been doing it from day one.

It’s getting harder to ignore decisions coming out of Washington that directly benefit Moscow.
Waiving sanctions on Russian oil, even temporarily, pumps billions back into Putin’s war chest at the worst possible time.
That money doesn’t sit idle. It fuels war in Ukraine and instability far beyond it, including deepening military cooperation with Iran, from intelligence sharing to drone development.

@NILnotNLI @SethOnHoops I think student athletes should get some type of compensation (across sports) for the sacrifices they make and the potential benefits they could provide the university. But it’s becoming a junior pro league having nothing to do with “student athletics.”
English

According to Jay Bilas NCAA athletes are professionals and "adults," not developing young adults (as @SethOnHoops correctly pointed out yesterday).
Well, adults pay for their own lives. They pay for things like housing, food, and school tuition.
How about Jay endorses the growing sentiment of eliminating "free ride" athletic scholarships for any "adult" who receives NIL or rev-share that exceeds the university's cost of attendance?
If you get paid a million dollars, you should have to pay for school.
Simple.
That would be the "adult" thing to do.
English

@atrupar @Dalocoengineer So now we have the GOP rationale for committing war crimes. I seem to remember Trump saying he was doing this so the people could rise up and take back their country. Now he’s saying since that didn’t work we’ll just make the whole country unlivable.

Let me read you the MAGA checklist. 👇🏼
We were going to release the Epstein files.
Until Trump showed up in the Epstein files. So we bombed people to distract from them.
We bombed a school in Iran with young kids in it.
We built Alligator Alcatraz — a sewage-backed penitentiary for immigrants in Florida — and laughed about it on camera.
We kidnapped children and didn't know where we were sending them.
We manipulated the markets. Repeatedly.
We accepted a $400 million jet as a bribe and kept it after leaving office.
We excoriated allies who stood with us for over a century.
Threatened to attack a NATO country. Treated Canada like an enemy.
We came after the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of American citizens.
Every price in America went up because of the tariffs.
Then came the tax bill - if you make a million dollars or more — $7,000 benefit.
If you make $50,000 or less — we're taking $500 away from you.
But here's what's finally moving the needle: Gas prices.
It turns out the red line for MAGA is $8 a gallon going into the 250th birthday of America.
Nobody wants to grill hot dogs and explain to their kids why it costs $120 to fill the tank.
The approval ratings are going into the gutter.
And he doesn't care.
That's the part that should terrify everyone.

Trump’s Easter tweet does that sound like a mentally well person? Grok’s response:
No, that post does not read like the writing of a mentally well person in any conventional, professional, or diplomatic sense.
Here’s why it stands out as erratic and concerning, even by Trump’s long-established personal style:
• Profanity and casual vulgarity: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards” — this is raw, unfiltered street-level trash talk, not the language of a head of state issuing a high-stakes military ultimatum. Presidents (even blunt ones) have historically used stronger rhetoric through channels that maintain some gravitas. This feels like an angry late-night text.
• Bizarre, childish phrasing: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one” sounds like a kid describing a theme park event (“it’s Christmas and birthday all in one!”). Framing potential bombing of critical infrastructure (power plants and bridges, which would cause massive civilian suffering) as cutesy “Days” is surreal and detached.
• Incoherent religious flourish: Ending with “Praise be to Allah” right after threatening hell on a Muslim-majority country is jarring, tone-deaf, and reads like a troll or a confused mash-up. It undercuts any serious message and adds to the sense of rambling.
• Overall tone: All-caps yelling (“JUST WATCH!”), exclamation overload, and threats that mix bravado with vagueness. It lacks structure, policy context, or strategic clarity — it reads more like emotional venting than calculated statecraft.
This fits a broader pattern with Trump: impulsive, hyperbolic social media posting that often blurs the line between negotiation tactic, personal grievance, and performance. Supporters often call it “unfiltered” or “strong”; critics (including some in his own orbit over the years) have repeatedly described similar outbursts as unhinged, erratic, or evidence of declining impulse control.

@scotlassie49 @allenanalysis You are a fucking idiot. Glad you’re not a relative I have to deal with.
English

@allenanalysis Why. He’s telling me absolute truth, the fake news, and the left want Trump to fail, and they’re cheering the death of our service men.

@Oct7NeverForget @rjcrock2003 Did he really say that? I mean, I could believe he would say something like that, but did he actually say that?
English

🇺🇸 Trump: “On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem — crowds welcomed him, praised him, called him king. And now they call me a king too. Can you even believe that? I mean, I’m basically a king. And yet I can’t even get approval for a ballroom. Incredible, right? A king. If I were a king, we’d be doing a lot more. I already do a lot, a tremendous amount, but I could do even more if I were a king.”
— How has he managed to stay out of the psych ward for so long??
— He’s not hiding at all!

Pete Hegseth fired the Army chief of chaplains, the first time this has ever happened. Hegseth wants ALL religious exemptions to be denied. Hegseth demanded all Conscientious objector and religious exemption packets denied and the general said no.
I believe now more than ever that America is going to invade Iran and was getting far too many “conscientious objectors” who do not want to die in a pointless and unpopular war fought for Israel.
Hegseth has fired or removed a dozen generals or admirals now. He fired Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff and on the same day, he removed Army Maj. Gen. William Green, who had served in that post since 2023.
This is going to be a disaster.
