"I don't know whether [Trump] really believes that [vandals damaged the reflecting pool] or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud.

"Hegseth takes heat from Republicans in back-to-back hearings" ______ This is really unfair: everyone knows that the Iran War is all President Biden's fault. Biden's all- WOKE military including low- testosterone "fighters" is the reason why we're losing another war. Also trending: Trump is a petulant cunt.

The Saudi push for a nuclear accord with Washington, [Dr. Heather Wilson] added, echoes “a hedging strategy we are seeing with other allies and partners. Their neighborhoods are increasingly dangerous,” in many cases because their old guarantor of security, the US, “isn’t as reliable as it once was.” The result is that they seek alternative deals and arrangements to bolster their security. _______ Trump is old and doesn't care about the future of the US or the planet. He is a petulant cunt...

"At Trump’s Direction, Federal Agencies Are Abandoning Discrimination Cases - President Trump has tried to scale back anti-discrimination regulations that date back decades. Federal agencies have heeded his call." ______ We have come full circle since Trump's father Fred and he were charged with housing discrimination in New York city. Or, to paraphrase the Doobie Brothers: Behaviors that were once illegal are now encouraged. Trump is a petulant cunt.

"The United States already lost the fight Trump started; it failed to achieve his declared goal of the Iranian regime’s unconditional surrender, or, barring that, Tehran’s acceptance of stringent nuclear restrictions. Now the conflict is over whether Iran controls Hormuz and can charge fees, or if the U.S. can restore the pre-war status quo, with ships transiting freely." ____________ Trump fucks everything he touches.
