| second: Fact Sheet: Costs of Iran War.
The Trump administration’s war in Iran has cost at least $1,200 per household. With no end in sight, American families are paying a price. [go to link] |
| second: Fueling Trump’s animus is grievance that Britain declined to support his decision to go to war on Iran. His obsession that allies declined to help him in a war he never consulted them on runs deep and wide – from Westminster to Seoul – and has the potential to upend US relationships around the globe. Trump might give Britain's Falkland Islands to Argentina. Or he might not. Who knows? Depends on the randomly shifting winds of change inside Trump's mind. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Loser. |
| second: 6ixStringJoker writes: "Who gives a shit? I don't." Since neither 6ix nor Trump work, he won't care since all days are holidays! Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: "6ixStringJoker, Trump has disqualified himself for the Nobel Peace Prize,". Who gives a shit? I don't.
|
| second: 6ixStringJoker, Trump has disqualified himself for the Nobel Peace Prize, but he is too crazy to know it and keeps whining about not being awarded. 6ix, you are also a whining loser, like Trump. A quote from you: "Women in this country are completely fucking broken. And the worthless fucking boomer generation are the reason for it. It won't be long until you start seeing white female suicide bombers screaming Allah's name." All this hostility toward women and your mother because they found you to be a highly defective boy that grew up to be a mentally ill man: [go to link] |
6ixStringJack: I'm sure he "lost his mind".  Loser. |

| second: Trump, 80, has candidly told New York magazine that he is building monuments for himself and slapping his name everywhere because he knows that nobody else will do so when he is gone.
Trump’s obsession with vanity projects stems from knowing he is the only person willing to memorialize him. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Dahlia Lithwick is a gross, fat cat lady from Canada who writes for Slate. Erwin Chemerinsky is the dean at Berkeley, where students from out of state now have to pay nearly $60,000 a year to attend. They both have very personal reasons to hate Trump. Keep crying, losers. |
| second: The administration is exploiting the fact that it can foment chaos and uncertainty and doubt simply by changing rules and expectations. And the administration is manipulating claims about emergencies and exigency to create the sense that every time this president fails to get his way, a catastrophe is about to descend.

| second: SCOTUS Isn’t Just Enabling Trump’s Lawlessness. It’s Ensuring That No One Can Stop Him. It’s past time to say it: This Supreme Court is helping President Donald J. Trump evade accountability. Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the Berkeley School of Law, joins Dahlia Lithwick to break down the conservative majority’s procedural toolkit—standing, ripeness, the Purcell principle, and inscrutable rulings on the shadow docket—and how these doctrinal headfakes are being used to ensure Trump always wins in court, even when he loses.

| 6ixStringJack: Wow. Witty. |
| THG: You sure are |
| 6ixStringJack: Losers. |
| THG: Trump allows in MORE rejected beef |
| second: When asked about the monuments, such as the “triumphal arch,” by New York Magazine, Trump agreed that he was building them for himself.
“That’s true,” Trump said. “Nobody will do it once I’m gone. When I leave here, nobody will.” [go to link] Finally, a glimmer of a hint of self-awareness. |
| second: The US has hit more than 15,000 targets in Iran, yet failed to accomplish any strategic goal. In fact, it did worse than nothing. The barrage, which among other things killed the top echelon of Iran’s political and spiritual leaders, only elevated the senior officers of Iran’s elite military unit, which is much more hard-line and oppressive—and is now in complete control of the country.

| second: The idea that the U.S. government might devise some excuse to seize gold held in the Fed’s vault is no longer far-fetched. And nations are taking precautions. Earlier this week the Dutch central bank announced that it was shifting about $12 billion in gold from the vault in New York to the Bank of England’s vault in London. This follows a move by the French central bank to shift an even larger sum from New York to Paris. Other countries are considering similar moves. America is no longer trusted. Foreign governments can no longer count on us to obey the most basic rules, like the commandment that thou shall not steal other people’s gold. [go to link] |
| second: Multiple senior military leaders have warned Hegseth that the United States cannot indefinitely extend military operations against Iran. Even the chief of naval operations, Admiral Daryl Caudle (who campaigned for the job by signaling agreement with Hegseth’s culture-war obsessions), told Hegseth that the Navy cannot “sustain its current level of support for the Iran conflict because there is no anticipated end date.”
Hegseth’s response? He castigated the media for revealing classified information. [go to link] |
