Trump's war with Iran has moved from regional to global.

Fighting broke out all over the Gulf in week one. This weekend, attacks reached Baghdad, Oslo, and a sidewalk outside the New York City mayor's home, where an IED was thrown into a crowd during Ramadan.

Four days ago, the United States called Volodymyr Zelenskyy and asked for help. Iranian drones were attacking American bases in Jordan, and Ukraine has spent three years learning how to stop them. He said yes and had a team wheels up the next morning.

NPR published video on their website this weekend showing what weapons experts identified as an American Tomahawk cruise missile hitting the school compound in Minab where 175 students and staff died on day one. Oil posted its biggest weekly gain in futures history, up 35%, which Trump posted online "is a very small price to pay."

Big kitty still a kitty!

@GeorgeBounacos, I hate to suggest more work for you, but I would be very interested in seeing stats on the Intensity Score variables if/when this nightmare is over.

Up, I have no excuse for not updating the methodology part of the website. None. I told someone here several months ago that my plan was to do it over the New Year's holiday. I think I forgot to mention which year.

ImmatellallyallboutFightClub

First article was already stomach turning. I despise how often the worst people get exalted by being the worst. I shouldn't know who Kyle Rittenhouse is, for example.

Dubs tucking her head into my leg extra hard so I can't move.

It's the actually getting next to Rubio that blows me away. You or I get held 50 yards back at a rope line.

TheImgurWarsMadeMe

The horrors persist and so do we. Take that as you will.

so purrrty

DidCatchABreak

Thank you, George

you're welcome - hope Tuesday is good!

ognar

Some republican posted a video of the proud boys or other nazi and said something like, 'Where did these guys go after the Biden admin?'.
When, in fact, they are all just ICE now.

Iaimtomisbehave

Tarrio holds a lieutenant's rank in that organization, if he's there they're all there. Also #8_NO!

BC2k2

I find it hilarious. It's obvious he didn't pass a civics class.

Ostegonation

It's going to take decades to fix this mess.

I don't think it'll be fixed in my lifetime and I'm 57

I'm 40 and I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.

CookieMonstersCrumbs

#8 So people are aware, if he doesn't sign it and doesn't object, it becomes law. It's his way of playing dumb -er. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RS22188

LordofGoats

Not sure if I'm just early enough to see the downvote fairies or if you just need to be more specific than "it" as the antecedent would point to the SAVE Act, not bills in general. Because yes, if a bill reaches the president's desk and he doesn't sign it or veto within 10 days, it becomes law.

Rhythmaster

I took it to mean, trump would veto any bill until he gets his way, but who knows. He says a lot of dumb shit, hard to figure out what he means or if he's lying or if he will forget about it in a few days...

There were a LOT of downvote faeries on me and it was kinda funny, honestly.

14 I don't golf, but if I did I'd buy Trump golf balls sure why not. I'd use them on all my drives because what better motivator to hit somthing as hard as you can could you possibly find than swinging at somthing with his name on it? Or better yet his face

thekadeshi

You understand buying that would enrich him, right? This is the same energy as burning the Tesla you just bought. It was your money, and now it’s not.

I'm a realist. Trump won't lose, he'll die. He won't ever lose. Much as we would all love to see him spend time in prison. The extra cash isn't doing anything for him. He gets anthing he wants anyway. It's basically just a little money burned for (reusable) catharsis.

PuzzledCompletely

Just buy regular golf balls and a Sharpie

kateaanne

Trump loves some Sharpie art so he can't even complain

i feel like it being in some way actually connected to the bastard would add just enough rage for five yards of extra carry.

Maybe check thrift stores, I bet there is some buyer's remorse kicking in.

SchuKadaj

#8 I hope it fails so horribly he doesn't even get told anything. So nothing will be signed again.

If he doesn't sign, and doesn't object, it's the same as signing it after 10 days.

ElasticFireCracker

good thing he knows nothing about constitutional law.

throwawaygizmo

The Save Act won't pass because Senate Republicans are fearful that they could lose the Senate, and getting rid of the filibuster is not a can of worms they want to open right before an election. It's entirely Trump's fault that it is even possible that Republicans lose the Senate (Iowa, Maine, Alaska, NC). If they do. It'll be because high gas/high fertilizer prices will screw everyone that likes to eat & live.

BurningVeryImportantThings

Living is overrated anywyas

madmax17

If you're' a republican.

GloveFullaVaseline

This is exactly what they want from you. Fuck that. Come over, I'll buy pizza and beer and we can watch a good movie. Don't fucking die, man please. Some of us are here for you.

I appreciate that very much thank you!!! I'm ok though I assure you I'm not even close to that level of despair. We've got too big of a job ahead of us cleaning and fixing shit after the dust settles for me to dip out now.

Well, that's very good to hear. Take good care of yourself, and those that love you. Totally cliche response, I know, but I mean it.
