@#4 ... How nice he came out during pride month. ...

Yeah. Did you see how he was sucking up to one of the UFC fighters?

Wow.

@#4

Does he get to wear a cape?

:)

Pres Trump: ~Cruelty is the end goal. If you don't like the cruelty, then stay out of the Country.~

@#2

Ya know, you really need to be more forward, and stoip holding back with your opinions.

                                    :)

@#7 ... Trump is now saying that the world is simply jealous of his success in Iran. ...

More from the article ...

... None of it is likely to happen, and the gap between what is likely and what is possible explains Trump's frustrations with many in Congress and the anger the White House channels at operatives and pundits who say the president isn't doing enough to help retain control of Congress.

"If everyone just follows his lead, follows the blueprints he's laid out, and runs on the record that he has, then I think we'll fare well," said a senior White House official, granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. ...

@#2 ... Which, of course, he would rightly be blamed for. ...

Yup.

For example, the Strait of Hormuz was wide open to traffic before Pres Trump instructed Iran about their now new-found strategic control of the Strait.

For Iran, this control and its effect upon the global economy, may even be better than having a nuke.

And Pres Trump MoU only says no tolls for 60 days.

But Iran has also said that they don't intend to charge tolls, but service fees to assure safe passage.

I admit, a subtle, very subtle, difference, but possibly a significant one?

Time will tell...

@#92 ... Like the Strait of Hormuz, everything was working okay before Trump got involved. ...

Excellent analogy.

Pres Trump has said that he wants the Iranian people to rise up against the cruel Iranian regime.

So, why not help to facilitate the ability of the Iran soccer team to participate in the World Cup as a hsow of support for the Iranian people?

... A Vietnamese man with cardiovascular problems collapsed and died in the "Speedway Slammer," the repurposed Indiana maximum-security prison that's become a symbol of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

In a Pennsylvania detention center, a Chinese man who had previously attempted suicide was found hanging in the shower.

In a New York facility, a Honduran man with an elevated heart rate and tremors from alcohol withdrawal died in his cell with no emergency care.

These men are among 50 people who have died in U.S. immigration detention since President Donald Trump launched his mass deportation campaign in January 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement records show.

Between 2009 and 2024, U.S. immigration facilities had one death annually for every 3,848 detainees, based on the facilities' average daily population, a Reuters analysis of ICE data found.

That rate has more than doubled since Trump returned to office, reaching about one death for every 1,630 people based on preliminary data through early June. ...

Pres Trump seems to be TACOing a lot of late.

Why might that be?

... This tax is expected to generate $2 billion annually to help fund Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for low-income residents. ...

Trying to compensate for Pres Trump's killing of health benefits for low-income residents.

Why is that "crazy?"

@#90

Good image.

:)

@#2 ... Was Bibi stupid enough to think he could control Trump? ...

He seemed to think that, for a while.

Then Pres Trump's "it's all about me, I'm the boss" ego kicked in, and Pres Trump realized that PM Netanyahu was not providing the off-ramp Pres Trump was so desperately seeking.

At that point, Pres Trump apparently turned against PM Netanyahu.

And here we are now ...

The current Iran regime is evil towards the people of Iran.

'Tis a shame that Pres Trump did not accomplish his regime-change goal.

@#1 ... Officials have said it works "like Amazon," but for military technology. ...

I'd say it works more like e-games.

More from the article ...

... The system rewards units that eliminate Russian soldiers or destroy military equipment and upload video confirmation to the military, which awards them points they can use to buy drones, ground robots, electronic warfare systems, and other gear from the government's Brave1 Marketplace.

Officials have said it works "like Amazon," but for military technology.

Updates to what the system rewards have worked to "incentivize all of the units along the entire front line to strive to go after targets that are more challenging to pursue. And I think that's having effects," Kateryna Stepanenko, a Russian warfare expert at the US-based Institute for the Study of War, told Business Insider.

Ukraine unveiled the system last year, initially offering the largest rewards for strikes on valuable equipment such as tanks and launchers. It was later widened to reward reconnaissance missions and operations that involved ground robotic systems, as well as actions by snipers and mobile air-defense teams shooting down Shahed attack drones. ...

@#10 ... Illegally building a "ballroom" with unconstitutionally allocated funds...

Looks like a hallmark of the Trump admin to me.

@#1

Yeah, it does look that way.

Rep Talarico's tactics so far have been impressive.

No wonder the GOP looks worried about the amount of money they may have t spend in Texas, at the expense f other candidates' campaigns across the Nation.

@#2 ... The sun setting in the west surprises these idiots. ...
Maybe, mayb not.

The DOJ lawyers apparently "were leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that the combination of the two movie studios would be anticompetitive and violate antitrust law."

Then the Trump DoJ seemed to step in and approved the merger. Why? As a favor to the Ellison family?
