They start a war with Iran, can't win it and then tell everyone "Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Let them board a ship. This is their war, not ours."
What a bunch of fucking idiotic losers.
THIS IS THE USA'S WAR.
Let’s be honest about what we’re watching here.
🇺🇸 330 million people, the country that put men on the moon, defeated the Nazis is now sitting on its sofa watching its president post crayon drawings of Venezuela with an American flag on it.
At least the Russians who oppose Putin have a reasonable excuse not to speak up. Siberia is cold and windows are tall. At least North Koreans can point to the very real possibility of their entire extended family being relocated to a concrete box with no heating. These are legitimate barriers to civic engagement.
What’s America’s excuse?
You can vote. You can protest. You can run for office. Nobody is sending you to a gulag. The worst thing that happens is someone calls you a name on Truth Social. And yet, there you all sit, 330 million of you, watching a man who cannot spell “Venezuela” claim it as American territory, while nodding along like this is a completely normal thing for a head of state to do.
No dictator in modern history has done more damage to the prestige of a country’s highest office than this man, and he’s done it entirely voluntarily, with access to the full resources of the American government, and a communications team that apparently just lets him post whatever falls out of his head before breakfast.
Kim Jong-un, for all his considerable faults, has never once posted a map with a flag on it and called it foreign policy.
Think about that.

(From the movie “God And Country”)
I've always noticed that in many parts of America vulgarity and coarseness are regarded as guarantees of authenticity
Whereas correct speech, good manners and lack of
lavatorial references are signs of affectation and elitism
Here is how the identity works:
American soldiers go abroad and kill people:
"Heroes."
Whatever the politics of the war.
Whatever the facts on the ground.
They are serving.
They are sacrificing.
They must be honored.
People in other countries fight against American soldiers
"Terrorists."
"Insurgents."
"Fanatics."
"They hate freedom."
They are irrational.
They cannot be understood except as a threat to be neutralized.
The possibility that the second group might simply be people defending their homes from a foreign army that crossed an ocean to kill them, this thought cannot be completed within the system.
Because completing that thought requires asking:
What does it mean that we are the foreign army?
And that question, in the American political imagination, does not have a permitted answer.
WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
Reporter: The president said we might blow up and completely obliterate all of their generating electric plants, oil wells, Kharg island, and possibly all desalination plants. Under international law, striking infrastructure is generally prohibited. Why is the president advocating potentially a war crime and how do you square that with the US aying it does not target civilians?
Leavitt: Their best move is to make a deal or else the united States armed forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination
Reporter: Including potential war crimes?
Leavitt: With respect to achieving the full objectives, the president is going to move forward…
Reporter: Which of those objectives would destroying a desalination plant most help?
What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding.
This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.
Don Lemon: “Marco Rubio is saying leaders of Iran are religious fanatics. I say pot meet kettle. These people completely have no sense of self awareness. Jihadists? Who is using scripture and religion and God to justify their violence and bombs and wanton murder of schoolgirls?”
It has been 10 days since Hegseth and Caine last briefed on Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, and no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the U.S. military has been doing from bystander videos than DoD. Historic lack of transparency and accountability.
This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.
