This is not how representatives of a superpower talk. This is how jumped-up teenagers talk.

If things were going well, you know he would be taking all the credit, not starting a paper trail about whose idea it really was...

Trump blames Hegseth for the war: "Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, 'Let's do it.'"

@erikkain My question for anyone who found the episode divisive: where is the unrealistic depiction of ICE in the episode?
English
A divisive, but effective, episode of The Pitt. This has always been a show steeped in political and social issues, so whether or not you agree with those issues, I think the inclusion of an ICE plotline is warranted and effective here.

@roddreher Narrator: Except, in fact, the Democrats weren’t worse.
English
Disgraceful. But by now, par for the course. #WeimarAmerica
(I know, I know: "But you supported him in 2024!" True. Democrats are even worse - Rachel Levine, y'all? Still, general support for his admin does not require silence before the violation of common human decency.)

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.

@WerderEdNFL Here’s the core question: is Trump showing respect for the men and women being killed because of his war of choice by wearing his merch to the transfer of their remains? By playing golf while they are at war?
English
It’s not about politics or your opinion of them. This is about being respectful to young people in uniform whose lives have been lost and their families devastated. If you don’t have enough humanity or empathy for that, you won’t be here.

Trump to Latin American leaders: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."
English
It's amazing how little he actually says with all those words.
Also, the smarmy little smiles make the vacuousness of it all worse.

Hegseth says Russia assisting Iran in targeting Americans is ok because Trump has a "special relationship" with Putin and that Biden is bad.

Bill Barr in 2023: Trump is “a consummate narcissist, and he constantly engages in reckless conduct. He will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country's interests."
*Barr endorsed Trump in 2024

@drsltaylor I like to think I was using that term long before it got mainstreamed.
(For everyone else: I once designed and taught a course called Regime Change and Steven was an UG student in it. This was more years ago than I want to calculate …)

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

@cenkuygur Cenk: I don’t know how I can be more clear. Trump will end and prevent war in the Middle East. He wants peace.
Harris and her neocon cabinet want war, war and more war.

First Venezuela, then Iran, and there's rumbling about Cuba. When will Democrats learn their lesson and stop talking about the Epstein files?
