Donald Trump went on national television tonight to declare victory in a war that has driven American troops out of their own bases.
His first primetime address about the war came 35 days in and answered nothing. He said the objectives are "nearing completion," then promised to bomb Iran "extremely hard" for two to three more weeks and bring them "back to the stone ages where they belong." He threatened to destroy their power grid and desalination plants if they don't make a deal.
More troops and warships are pouring into the region. The Pentagon is ordering prefab bunkers shipped to the Gulf because multiple American bases are all but uninhabitable, according to the New York Times. Troops have been relocated to hotels and office buildings, mixing military personnel with civilians in ways that may violate the Pentagon's own Law of War Manual and the Geneva Conventions. Iran is already targeting those hotels.
That is what winning looks like to this commander in chief. Tell your representatives through Resistbot and 5 Calls that 19 minutes of victory rhetoric don't answer the question Congress still refuses to ask: what is the plan to end this war?

Troops have been relocated to hotels and office buildings, mixing military personnel with civilians in ways that may violate the Pentagon's own Law of War Manual and the Geneva Conventions. Iran is already targeting those hotels. Thereby copying tactics that insurgents and the IDF use as well; hiding amongst civilians, as per Hegseth's new war rules.

If this dipshit teleported to a Waffle House they would’ve round housed him right back home. Fuck I hate this timeline.

#7 SPACE!! Other stuff... sad... Thanks for documenting @GeorgeBounacos
GeorgeBounacos
I too feel SPACE!! It's going to be hard not to include an Artemis story every day of the mission.

Several of these federal judges are pulling some serious weight in this fight.
They are one of the last barriers between this regime and a complete takeover, regardless of how much the turd reich likes to piss on our laws.
I applaud these judges for standing their ground.
(Also George, he's da man)
GeorgeBounacos
I'm with you. I've long wanted to do something for the judiciary especially those judges who wade into it, get death threats from all over the country, and still don't back down.

Keep posting these, brother! Resist!
GeorgeBounacos
Will do - thanks for helping amplify them!

Go, go comrade Krasnov!!! You cannot prevent him from fulfilling his mission from God/s

#5 is really concerning right now but at least we're still going back to the moon.

Holy shit, I took some severe psychic damage at 15. I legitimately recoiled from the screen after I read that. What. I guess sheer incredible stupidity was enough of a break from the regular sheer stupidity and evil of everything else to actually affect me.

#3 See the thing with that rule is... they don't really see foreigners as people.

Thank you, George

Can we talk about the nutter who believes he *teleported to a Waffle House* because uh... u wot m8?
That right there is a perfect example of how far backwards this admin has taken the US. He's not being removed from his post, he's not being sent for a psych eval, he's just being giggled at by *some* people. And if gawd hasn't sent you to Waffle House when you're hungry then you're not Christian enough (or blackout drunk enough!) The absolute fuck.
AlmostCertainlyNotPickles
because the admin is rotten from the top down. If anything isn't about him, he doesn't care beyond making it about him. If it is about him, he only cares if it's bad. All the positions have been filled with the nearest sycophant at the time.
myhamstergotdead
It's called "time traveling" and happens when you have too much to drink.

Teleport to a Waffle House??? What even..?

That health department thing is concerning.

It's terrifying. We're speedrunning the next pandemic and we're not going to be able to track it.

And it will be so much worse than Covid.

#12 border patrol picked up a blind guy, who was using a curtain rod as a walking stick, beat him and locked him up. When they decided he did nothing wrong, they dropped him off miles away from home in freezing weather. He died of hypothermia 5 days later... Took them a month to decide it was murder
reurra
Cant go to work, got rabies........................
philmoregraves
Even worse is he had no nation anymore, he was here escaping attrocities only to be met with them. Hypothermia ruptured an ulcer
Catsbycat
Disgusting. Hoping these involved are charged with murder but in this timeline, I doubt it.
georgejimmydoodle
They dumped him miles from home and notified nobody. Not his family, not his lawyer. CBP meant for him to freeze to death.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
But according to their representative, the CBP can't possibly be liable because the guy died after they dropped him... Seriously. I seriously hope people end up in jail for this.
georgejimmydoodle
Can't imagine either the county (deep blue Erie Co, NY) or the state will let this slide.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal

I'm actually shocked that Artemis wasn't branded Trump somehow. #winning

Astronauts Reveal Trump Emperor of Mankind Including Space.

Both.
throwawaygizmo
You can thank the renewed pressure on releasing the Epstein files for that (we should never stop talking about them). NASA was less screwed by Trump in general than the NSF or NIH (other science agencies) in large part because he couldn't get a loyalist in charge of NASA & couldn't force his NASA budget through. I have my doubts about Jared Isaacman, but he is better than suck up Sean Duffy & actually wants the agency to succeed. Which is a low bar to clear, but I'll take it.
ErniesWidow
Give him time. He first has to get himself declared a Roman or Greek god.

I was surprised the crew wasn't switched out to be 4 MAGA loyalist cis-white males.

TODAY WE ARE CELEBRATING THE LAUNCH OF THE TRUMPOLLO ROCKET! NOT A HOAX LIKE THE FIRST SO-CALLED "MOON LANDING" PUSHED BY THE FAKE NEWS AND THE WOKE ARMSTRONG MOB!
Iaimtomisbehave
If something goes wrong who do you thing he'll blame, Obama or Biden? :-l
randomdragon
My guess is a he'll go on a rambling tirade with a mix of blaming Biden because part of the planning stage occurred during his term, blaming Canada since one of the astronauts is Canadian, and likely going "but muh DEI" because the crew includes a woman and a black man.
