Donald Trump told the world a civilization would die Tuesday night, and for about twelve hours, nobody could be sure he didn't mean it.

On Easter Sunday he posted "open the fuckin' Strait" and signed it "Praise be to Allah." He told children at Monday's Easter Egg Roll about hostile territory in Iran while standing next to the Easter Bunny. By Tuesday morning he was on Truth Social and posted, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

Networks put countdown clocks on screen. The Pope called it truly unacceptable and told citizens worldwide to contact their political leaders and demand peace. When a reporter asked the White House press secretary whether the president would use a nuclear weapon, she answered, "Only the President knows where things stand and what he will do."

A Pakistan-brokered ceasefire was announced ninety minutes before the deadline, and the president who threatened to erase 5,000 years of Persian civilization called it a night. But Tuesday will be remembered as the day an American president said the words out loud, and the whole planet stopped to wonder if he meant it. Call your representatives through Resistbot and 5 Calls and tell them the pattern from "open the fuckin' Strait" to "a whole civilization will die tonight" is reason enough to invoke the 25th Amendment, even if that means a Vance presidency.

At the moment, the threat to drop the nuke on Iran looks like another TACO move to play stocks. However, Iran was right for taking the threat seriously no matter if it was a ploy for stocks or not. The US is full of incompetent leadership who think they are playing COD. Misrael, on the other hand, is a rogue terrorist state that wants destruction and could nuke Iran if it wants to. Now we have to see what Iran's answer to Israhell will be as they have already violated ceasefire.

#1 What's happening in Hungary is basically America sending over one politician after another to say "The EU is interfering in your elections. By the way, you must vote for our far-right friend Orban, or else trans muslim migrants will destroy your country!"

Because he's both America's and Russia's biggest ally in the EU.

It was the stupidest thing ever, agreed. "EU is interfering," says politician from another continent is the height of irony.

no idea what Sugar was, we got her at the shelter, I always get shelter dogs, got her is a puppy, and she was about 40 pounds once fully grown, but she reminds me of Newfies, I wonder if there is a miniature Newfie?

i get all my dogs used. Newfoundlands end up needing new homes often. They are big, they shed, they drool, but they start out as adorable puppies.
