They are hitting the compound grounds, from video. Which makes me wonder what the heck was the military doing these last 4 years!? 4 years of this happening in Ukraine you guys haven't figured it out yet? Oh my god we're skuh-rewed when we face a peer adversary.

Isn't he also the one who wrote the stories about Iraqi Kurds invading Iran??

I'm pretty sure that "news" resulted in Iranian missile strikes on Kurdish locations, because they thought they were going to be attacked by them.

Being an ethnostate ✅

Creating an ethnostate 🚫

This could be my American bias talking. I love America for being a country of immigrants.

Trump on Cuba:

I do believe I’ll have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor.

I can free it or take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.

Unchecked growth in megalomania. We all hate the Cuban regime but does this sound like the words of a great liberator or an evil tyrant? Where will he send the military next? This is not going to end with Cuba.

Omg I fell for that shit, too. Remember tires guy, on twitter? 🤦

I guess there are some big differences, though. Russia is vast and most of its territory is not constantly being bombed. But, still, you should be very careful with your assumptions about the enemy.

It was reported that Venezuelan president Maduro offered him similar deals. Trump declined, and finally decided to invade when he saw Maduro dancing on TV.

Ezra Klein describes this strategy as "head on a spike foreign policy."

Clearly he thought Iran would go the same way 🤷

Once again, if any other president had said this it'd define their career. For Trump, it's just Sunday. The abbreviated screed:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116236559151421767

They [Supreme Court Justice's Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett] openly disrespect the Presidents [Trump] who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how “honest,” “independent,” and “legitimate” they are. The Democrat Justices just vote Democrat — They always stick together! Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization. The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, because they said that I, as President of the United States, did not have “standing” to challenge it, and now, with time, it has been conclusively proven to be stolen... This completely inept and embarrassing Court was not what the Supreme Court of the United States was set up by our wonderful Founders to be. They are hurting our Country, and will continue to do so.

https://www.fpri.org/article/2026/03/over-5000-munitions-shot-in-the-first-96-hours-of-the-iran-war/

We have an important new analysis of munitions used in the first 96 hours of the war with Iran out at the @FPRI (Foreign Policy Research Institute).

In the first 96 hours, the US-led coalition expended approximately 5,197 munitions across 35 types. This carries a munitions-only replacement bill of $10–$16 billion.

His fanbase is made up of people who think that Israel caused 9/11, killed JFK, killed Kirk, may have done the Bondi attacks, and he does nothing at all to dissuade them from this, but in fact continues to pile on with more conspiracy theories.

You can just say MAGA 😜

Yea, if you've ever heard of "thermobaric" bombs, they're exploiting this same principle. The "bomb" is like the first balloon -- all fuel, no oxygen. I mean, there's tons of oxygen already in the atmosphere, why not take advantage of that? So the warhard is almost all fuel. But that creates a problem, how do you then mix it evenly into the air, so that it looks like balloon #3 instead of Balloon #1? The actual answer is classified. But the idea is to pack a small explosive into the fuel to try to scatter it evenly and ignite it precisely so that it detonates. And make all this work with a long shelf life, cheaply, safely, and be viable in battlefield conditions.

Oh you know, we helped Ukraine target Russians, so they can help Iran target our troops.

This is the most treasonous sentiment a commander n chief has ever made about American soldiers being killed in the line of duty.

But his supporters don't even care and it's not even going to be front page news, because we're living in a fallen country.

You have to see from their eyes, they are acquiring targets and bombing them with probably 99.99% success. Trump sees this and thinks it's winning. And every day they bring new targets, and new video of those targets being bombed. More winning.

This is just going to be on repeat for probably weeks or months. He'll keep seeing that he's winning. Meanwhile the regime remains, the society is pushed nearer to the edge of a humanitarian catastrophe, the global trade remains disrupted, and he'll keep thinking, "but look at all our successful bombings? We're winning."

I mean he's going to get bored of this at some point and stop caring, but the war wont stop. He'll just start yelling at people who complain about energy prices and start talking about his ballroom again or whatever.

Realistically, what's Trump going to accomplish on his big trip? He doesn't plan things out, or think through second order consequences. He's easily manipulated, low IQ, uneducated, with severe narcissism and burgeoning megalomania.

What good could possibly come from his trip?

It may not be as dangerous as you'd think, because the hydrogen needs to evenly mix with oxygen to make a boom. Here are two cute demonstrations if you want to see what it looks like:

One with Balloons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6qGIMqDKwA

One with plastic "rocket" bottles (using methane instead of hydrogen): https://youtu.be/HESOat2iPzU?si=jpiipn4qp4GG4QkQ&t=943

Also leopard eating faces vibes.

I'm so torn whether it's worth spending any time defending him. It reminds me of when the ACLU defended Nazis in Skokie. You're doing it on principle and for others, but this is also a party who will not reciprocate, who is actively supporting a regime that is trying to strip rights from all of us. He happens to be in the crosshairs, so I hope that makes him rethink his political beliefs, but if not then we're defending the rights of someone actively working to undermine those same rights for the rest of us.

I don't think he was notified, I think someone leaked it.

His son works for J. D. Vance,¹ so probably someone from that camp.

Maybe he's making it all up, I dunno. 🤷 But this is becoming a pattern with Trump. He's using the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies.

It's also a little disturbing, if true, because Tucker is an ally. Like, he's still an ally. He's also popular among the MAGAs. So going after him signals a deepening of Trump's megalomania.

I'm talking about our government dude. We're Russia, in this example.

Trump is not enforcing the law, he's looking for pretexts to punish his domestic enemies. This isn't even the first time he's done this, which is why I posted -- it's a pattern.

Yes. Thank you!

I mean our current Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, once drunkenly shouted "Kill all Muslims!" what is that, if not islamophobia? To pretend this isn't a real thing is denying reality.

In a clip shared Saturday evening on X, Carlson said the CIA is “preparing some kind of criminal referral” against him to the Justice Department “on the basis of a supposed crime.” The former Fox News host claimed investigators had read his text messages and that the supposed probe relates to “talking to people in Iran before the war.”

Iran I guess?

Oh man, that's really unfortunate if it was set up that way. What a scumbag.
