FUNDING: @TomColeOK04 says Pentagon is preparing to ask Congress for a supplemental $$$ bill to pay for Iran War
Trump admin officials acknowledged during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all. The drones, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged, are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, per sources in the briefing. cnn.com/2026/03/04/pol…
Trump: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen."
Trump wins the prize for repugnance. Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed "wartime president" and master of distraction, has reached a new low in moral depravity with his latest attack on Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the "P.T. Barnum of Ukraine." This repugnant rhetoric is nothing more than a desperate attempt to mask his own catastrophic incompetence in every area—from foreign policy to military leadership to basic humanity. By shifting the blame for his own failures onto Zelenskyy and Ukraine, which has suffered four years of brutal Russian aggression, Trump exposes himself for what he truly is: a weak, evil, and utterly repugnant individual incapable of taking responsibility. Trump has unleashed a war against Iran—without congressional approval, based on flimsy justifications that were already refuted by his own Pentagon briefings on the second day. US soldiers dead, the Gulf region ablaze, Dubai a battlefield—and who's to blame? Not the man who pulled the trigger, but Biden and Zelenskyy, who supposedly "gave away" ammunition. This isn't just ridiculous, it's pathological. Trump, who boasts of having "rebuilt" the military, is implicitly admitting that his armed forces aren't even equipped for a "four- to five-week" conflict. And instead of acknowledging his failures—such as underfunding ammunition production or chaotic planning—he shifts the blame to a nation fighting a genocide-prone aggressor. Ukraine has received billions in aid since 2022 to defend itself, not to "cheat." Trump is twisting this to justify his own waste in "Epic Fury"—a war that's swallowing billions while he dismisses Ukraine as a "show." The comparison to P.T. Barnum is particularly toxic and dehumanizing. Barnum, the charlatan who turned suffering into entertainment—that's Trump's code for: The Ukraine war is fake, the massacres in Bucha, the destroyed cities, the traumatized children? All a staged event to fleece "suckers" like Biden and thus America. This isn't just a lie; it's an insult to every victim of Russian terror. Trump is dehumanizing an entire people who are heroically resisting in order to sell his own "strength." He, the man who eliminates Khamenei's successor without a plan for the consequences, poses as a "winner" while sending thousands to their deaths. That's not strength; that's madness disguised as machismo. People like Trump—incompetent, flawed, and cowardly—are the real charlatans. They build empires on lies, shift the blame onto the weak, and destroy everything they touch. Zelenskyy is fighting for freedom; Trump is fighting only for his ego. This rhetoric is not only repugnant, it's dangerous: it undermines alliances, emboldens aggressors like Putin, and betrays American values. Trump doesn't deserve a platform; he deserves contempt. History will expose him as the ultimate "sucker"—the one who leads a country to ruin just to save himself. Thanks, Regina @Sunnymica , for the tip and the template!
