And Now?
We HAVE joined Israel is striking Iran DIRECTLY……
Hold On….
This COULD REALLY get bumpy …..
Good morning…..
New Open Thread is HERE
Gabbard is learning the had way Donald only has one use for women
While there’s no doubt Trump is a misogynist,his reason for slapping down Gabbard was her disagreement with his “ facts.”
If a male had said the same things as she did?He would have slapped him down too.
Gabbard IS the Director of National Intelligence…..
There ARE SEVERAL Intelligence Agencies that report to her …..
Her report to her boss was the consensus…..
We have seen how the results of the strikes went FROM obliteration to substantial damage, eh?
Let’s remember …..
Donald HAS ALWAYS distrusted and distanced himself from the Intelligence Community, which he correctly assumed has NEVER TRUSTED HIM..,
Good Afternoon…..
Donald HAS FUCKED UP AGAIN
Alternatively, it is possible Trump winds up getting a ton of credit for the action. If nothing else, it is far too early to judge this and declaring this a “disaster” is really premature. There are many people who did not vote for Trump who think, or at least hope, the U.S. did the right thing.
I do not like him getting credit either. Trump is a horrible person and a horrible President, and neither of those things are going to change, but my loyalty to America outweighs my loathing of Trump, and it should not be too much to ask that of all Americans.
The Israeli’s talked him into this….
The good thing seems to be that Iran is NOT looking for a escalation of things…
There probably IS a domestic political side to this IN Iran that Israel is trying to to influence ….
It appears Trump has joined the Israeli effort
1. Iran are the bad guys. That should not be in dispute
2. Israel did the dirty work to greatly hurt Iran, which did not just begin this month. This left a huge opportunity to act.
3. The United States might have come in at the end to finish off Iran’s nuclear capability.
4. The Iranian regime is in big trouble from within.
Now, it is tough to trust the honesty of this Administration and there are many questions that will remain for a long time, but it is very possible that based on what happened on Saturday, the world is a better, much safer place.
What happened today seems to be a sign that Iran is not really capable nor willing to do much to harm America.
Now, there is apparently a cease fire agreement between Israel and Iran.
All of these things should be considered good news to Americans, of all political stripes.
Thus, the rotten sociopath Donald Trump is going to get credit, at least for now. I know some think that “everything he touches turns to…” but it seems more like he actually remains that luckiest SOB in political history.
Morning…….
It IS HOT around my way ‼️😅
Trump is calling the media outlets ,who reported that the assessment of the results of his attack on Iran ,was far from “obliterating” their nuclear capabilities,” scum.”
As the smoke clears so to speak,it is becoming apparent that his hyperbolic declaration was far from the actual reality.Nothing new about this though.
Just lie upon lie and a substantial number of Americans want to believe the lies.
I repeat…
We get the government we deserve.
Good Morning People……
Last nights’ Democratic ‘Shock Wave’ IS reverberating thru then media as aspected….
Some SERIOUS Democratic head scratching and contemplating IS in orderer the party leaders….
The hand writing HAS BEEN evident with the election of Trump…..
It goes across party lines

2026 Generic Congressional Vote
Emerson
Democrats 43, Republicans 40
Democrats
+3
RCP
Given GOP gerrymandering since seizing so many state legislatures in 2010, I doubt that +3 % D will be enough to flip the House.
I’m going on record as saying the Democrats WILL GAIN a US HOUSE Majority come 2027
I’ll go farther…….
Next American President gonna be a Democrat…..
No guess on the US Senate though
Morning
Anyone who thinks that some sort of Big Beautiful Bill does NOT get passed is on drugs……
As expected….
The US Senate votes to move AHEAD with the Big Beautiful Bill…..
Of course the bill HAS BEEN changed to get it up for the next Senate Vote…
The score was 51-49
Vance was NOT NEEDED….
Problems ARE In the future for this thing.,.
Morning All
Oh sure it will pass.
I don’t know of anyone who thinks it won’t.
Likely the only Republican who might vote against it on final passage is Rand Paul.
Look out there Jed!
The intellectually challenged Eric Trump says he might run for President when Dad presumably must step down.
Jed was strongly supported as the VP candidate by brother Don Jr and is considered by some MAGA folks as Trumps logical successor ,but as we know,MAGA has distinct cult like tendencies so what happens if daddy endorses son?
The next American President WILL BE a Democrat…
No if’s an’s or But’s
American’s will NOT support Trumpism as a normality…..
As to the above statement…
There are numerous “ ifs,ands and buts.”
The next American President might well be JD Vance, before the 2028 election.
If Democrats nominate an AOC type figure in 2028, then they probably will lose again.
I agree AOC IS a nonstarter
Look for a Trump tirade against the UN soon.
The head of the UN watchdog agency says Iran can begin enriching uranium in a matter of months .
Post WILL be forthcoming on the Trump/Iran stories…
Does the U.S. still belong to the IAEA?
Trump has already pulled the country out of the WHO.
Trump is fighting a losing battle on his selling of the Iran strike outcome….

As they move to actually pass a bill that will NOT help much of anyone including themselves
Combs found guilty on two criminal charges
The main story of course is Not Guilty on the most serious charges. He may walk out of jail today.
Today at least, the legal system has made him as much of a winner as Trump has been.
Maybe he gets a job in the Administration.
Yea……
Will Trump lean in?

Thom Tillis Will Not Run Again
Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican who has represented North Carolina in Washington for a decade and has clashed with President Donald Trump as recently as Saturday, announced Sunday he will not seek reelection, the Raleigh News and Observer reports.
Politico: “Tillis made the announcement after voting ‘no’ on a procedural vote to advance President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ — the cornerstone of his domestic policy agenda. Trump subsequently attacked Tillis in a series of social media posts.”
Quote of the Day
“So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain for now.”

Former Lt. Governor Andre Bauer is planning on challenging S.C. Sen. Lindsay Graham
Graham already has several relatively unknown challengers .Cong. Ralph Norman was thought to be a serious challenger but Norman seems more interested in running for Governor.
Bauer served two terms as LG from 2003- 2011.However in both elections his margin of victory was very narrow.He ran for Governor in2010 and came in a distant fourth place.Two years later he lost a Congressional race.
He has name recognition though and was a Trump supporter in 2016 when Lindsay was calling Trump names.
Graham , like a cat?
ALWAYS Lands on his Feet……
