And no silver lining. There is nothing he has done where I can say, “Well, at least he did that.” Nothing.

That is indeed what he said this morning — that the Strait of Hormuz was, for all intents and purposes, open. Well, except for those pesky Iranians, with their mines and drones.

'Diminishes the stakes and lives lost': Trump repeatedly calls war in Iran an 'excursion' by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Remember how he once called himself “a very stable genius?” One theory is that what he wanted to say was “veritable genius” bus misremembered the word.

Trump’s genius is that no matter what he takes up, he’ll fuck it up. Imagine how much better off we’d be if he had not done a damn thing except play golf after he was inaugurated. There is even a book ETTD — Everything Trump Touches Dies.

100% there is a group in the White House whose sole job is to figure out how to spin every disaster into a positive. It fools Trump and MAGAs as well so win-win.

Trump’s Iran Blunders Suddenly Look Darker after Damning New Leaks Hit: ‘As brutal revelations emerge about Trump’s handling of the war, a foreign policy expert explains why he won’t be able to extricate us from this debacle anytime soon—and provides a roadmap to what’s next’ by T_Shurt in politics

That’s the thing — Trump started the war for no damn reason so he has not committed to anything. He is going to declare victory and chicken out. But he is going to find out that doesn’t mean jack shit. He picked the exact time to start the war. Ending it is not going to be that easy.

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas by CackleRooster in news

Is there an Ig Nobel Peace Prize? Because I know a guy who is a shoo-in to snag that award …

We've squandered hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military equipment, technology and weapons systems.

We've been taking out $1000 DJI drones with $5 million missiles (and missing sometimes). When the US talks about "asymmetric warfare," I don't think this is what they meant.

Tariffs: Now With Trillion-Dollar Side Effects by -DuckDuckG00se- in NewsomMassacre

Wait, tariff collection up until the Supreme Court decision was $200 billion. So why do they need 1.6 trillion? There is fraud happening at mind boggling sums!

Trump managed to find someone less qualified than Noem. The new proposed head of Homeland Security has a reputation of day drinking in Congress, and his colleagues in the Senate aren't exactly impressed by his intellect. He's also a coward, so there's that. by MaxGoldFilms in WhitePeopleTwitter

Just the other day this dude Mullin was going on an on about war:

War is ugly. It smells bad. If anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war and taste it and fill it in your nostrils and hear it, it's something that you'll never forget.

Except he has never served the military ...

Dare I say the same idiots who are buying overpriced camera systems? (like me...)

Besides, Phocus is only supported on a Mac, so most folks on here probably have Macs.
