@AttardMon @mikerdot @jonathanvswan @maggieNYT Amazing reporting. But behind being duped my take was that DJT was also a very willing participant

This really is incredible reporting from @jonathanvswan and @maggieNYT in the NYT on how Trump was duped into war with Iran. What to say? Other than idiot nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

For whatever reason, I decided to read American Psycho last week. Imagine my surprise to find that the lead sociopathic character, Patrick Bateman, idolizes Donald Trump. The book mentions Trump dozens of times. It was published in 1991.

they bombed a funeral in lebanon at a cemetery and everyone is now dead. a fucking funeral at a cemetery.

NATO IS NEVER THERE WHEN WE NEED THEM. TRUMP WANTED TO STEAL GREENLAND, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP WANTED TO WIPE OUT AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP DECLARED WAR ON BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, DID NATO HELP? NO! IF NATO DOESN'T PAY ITS SHARE FOR THE BALLROOM, IT'S OVER.

Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began. Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks. Civilians are #NotATarget.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

My money is on the Bishop of Rome in this fight.

The conflict in Lebanon is contributing to a humanitarian crisis. As UN Security Council members meet today to discuss the protection of UN and Humanitarian Personnel, Australia and partners call for international humanitarian law to be respected, and aid workers to be protected.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today, which resulted in a very high number of civilian casualties. We condemn these strikes in the strongest possible terms. They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it. I reiterated the need to preserve Lebanon’s territorial integrity and France’s determination to support the efforts of the Lebanese authorities to uphold the country’s sovereignty and implement the Hezbollah disarmament plan.

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

While everyone has moved on, I remain deeply troubled by Trumps threat to wipe out an entire civilization. No American president has talked in such terms. No American president ever should.

I’m sorry - the Pentagon threatened the Catholic Church, currently led by the first American pope??

There’s hundreds dead in Lebanon. Israel bombed hospitals, ambulances, apartments, and even a FUNERAL in Bekaa. This will go down as a historic massacre. Pray for Lebanon.

Beirut hospitals are calling for urgent blood donations. Israel just committed a massacre. These videos are horrific.

Beirut is under attack. Bombs going off all around us, multiple strikes across many parts of the city. Can’t post footage now for obvious reasons but people are desperately trying to find a place of safety. 100 strikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon. This is a clear message that there is no ceasefire on Israel’s part and that it is escalating its attacks on civilian areas

Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes. Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously. This isn’t a ceasefire. It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.

The NYT is reporting that Iran, in addition to gaining administrative control over the Strait of Hormuz, will now charge $2m per ship for safe passage, which it will split with Oman. It was free pre-war. Trump & Netanyahu have increased Iranian leverage over the global economy.
