    There's a reason Little Georgie is an absolute nobody within his chosen field.

    There has never been a major strategic defeat as quick and humiliating as this in our nation's history. Washington couldn't do it. Lincoln couldn't do it. FDR couldn't do it. But Trump did it. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

    Well, Donnie's always been obsessed at being "the greatest" at something. It's yuge. Everybody's saying it was the quickest defeat since Fort Sumter. Donnie can finely compare himself with Abraham Lincoln with a straight face.

    Eh, not just space but intergalactic ghosts! Shiiiit I'm going watch basketball, enough bullshit on my day off. Here's hoping nuclear war or mass starvation doesn't happen while I put all my smart devices away.

    Mass starvation is ongoing, especially with USAID gutted.

    This reminds me of an old video from about 20 years ago when the first rumors of Trump possibly wanting to run for office.
    Reporter: Is that possible?"
    DJT: "Maybe"..
    Reporter what are your positions?
    DJT: Ask me.
    Reporter "How about abortion?"
    DJT; laughing out loud: I AM A NEW YORKER. I'M FOR CHOICE.

    Somebody needs to put a chokehold on Trump and Hegseth's war spending once and for all. This is getting ridiculous. He's so obsessed with flexing power on countries around the world, and completely shoving the priorities needed in our own country. As if Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and Iran wasn't enough, he's now talking about Columbia and Cuba as we spend a billion a day over in Iran.

    He needs to get his damn priorities straight, and by
    priorities I don't mean ballrooms, arches, and the biggest and most beautiful of everything Trump. I don't mean putting his name on airports, bridges, boulevards, highways, Federal buildings and currency either.

    Farmers are going bankrupt, millions can't afford healthcare, inflation is rising, and we keep adding more war spending to the national debt. The lying con has been telling his sheep that new improved healthcare plan is around the corner since back when he was running for office 11 years ago, and they still believe his BS. He's created more chaos, destruction, and harm at home and abroad in less than 2 years that I ever imagined possible.

    The full quote is much more damning.

    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday said Iran's leadership is in the process of "humiliating" the United States in the ongoing conflict.

    Merz said Washington appeared to lack a clear strategy and questioned what kind of exit the US might pursue.

    "The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either," Merz said during a school visit in Marsberg, a town in his home region of Sauerland.

    "The problem with conflicts like this is always: you don't just have to get in, you have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years. We saw it in Iraq."

    "At the moment, I do not see what strategic exit the Americans will choose, especially since the Iranians are clearly negotiating very skillfully — or very skillfully not negotiating," he said.

    I'm glad the President is going after Kimmel. That shows he has the right priorities and spends both his time and his political capital well. Sure, there's an unresolved sort-of war happening in the Middle East that is adversely affecting billions around the globe, but who can be bothered with that kind of nonsense?

    He's just an angry old man, taking a nose dive on his approval as each day goes on. Raging and going after people is more fun for him than actually addressing the needs of Americans.

    Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.



    President Donald Trump on Sunday said that Iran has mere days before its oil infrastructure could explode.

    “What happens is that line explodes from within. Both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes, and they say they only have about three days left before that happens,” he said during an appearance on Fox News’s The Sunday Briefing. “And when it explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it is.”

    The lines could explode because of mechanical problems exacerbated by Trump’s blockade of Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Trump. The president suggested that if Iran is unable to continue exporting oil, the pipelines will eventually fail. His words come as some experts have warned that by Sunday, Iran could run out of storage space for the oil it is producing and cannot export due to the blockade.

    Merz is just neo-con who thinks he can save German industry by converting from autos and industrial
    From AI overview.

    Friedrich Merz, a leading German politician (CDU) and current Chancellor (as of May 2025), served as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board for BlackRock’s German asset management unit from 2016 to 2020. This role connected him to the world’s largest asset manager and drew criticism regarding potential conflicts of interest between corporate interests and policy

    Merzj just plans to revitalize Germany's economy by boosting military spending. He should take note of how this is working for the US. Merz's popularity is tanking, but he will go back to having a seat on some military industrial complex corporate boards.

    him and Lindsey Graham as well as a few other henchmen have been talking about Cuba for awhile now, and no one in the useless media has asked them to elaborate

    they keep saying “Cuba’s next”

    Next for what? Are we gonna go to war with Cuba? Invade them? Bomb them?
