@#5 ... I hope they publish everything they find during discovery. ...

Yup.

... Oh this is bad, I'm out.' It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now." "Yes," Buckley replied. ...

Nice to see that admission.

But I have to add... Pres Trump's behavior should not have been a surprise to them.

... From Bangladesh to Slovenia, fuel rationing has throttled transportation, frustrating leaders dealing with the fallout of a war they did not want. In Muslim-majority countries, anti-U.S. narratives are flooding the airwaves, often with tacit permission from governments.

Even America's allies in NATO have limited their help to the U.S., with some stressing the Trump administration did not consult them before launching the fight with Iran.

The war appears to be accelerating what some see as a U.S. break-up with much of the rest of the planet since Trump returned to office and began flexing U.S. economic and military might in haphazard ways, including tariffs.

"A lot of people are fed up with how chaotic this war has been and scared of the potential economic impact, but I haven't seen any major protests in response," a Washington-based Asian diplomat said, having been granted anonymity because the topic is sensitive. "If a more reasonable person becomes the next president, the image of the U.S. might improve, but for policymakers this raises some tough long-term questions about the alliance, how far we can go to stay aligned with the U.S. and what we should do if we can't rely on the U.S. anymore."

In the latest sign of foreign powers distancing themselves, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described his country's economic ties with the U.S. as "weaknesses" to correct in a video message released Sunday. ...

... Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has threatened to cut state funding to three of Texas' largest cities if they fail to change policies that the governor says limit police cooperation with ICE. ...

~Do as I say, and not what your voters want.~

@#14 ... Maybe because Lewzer is a rage tweeting lunatic that also happens to be POTUS? ...

I cannot disagree.

But to your point, Pres Trump seems to actually want the attention he seems to crave via those social media posts.

@#11 ... Who cares about Swalwell, he's out. ...

It appears a troll farm has a stake in the issue.

The question becomes... why?

@#5 ... But yeah, a thread about Melania supposedly hating her husband is riveting news. ...

Quite curious that your trolling seems to focus upo calling out that thread.

Why?

@#5 ... It's the only thread about Swalwell on the front or back page ...

FTFY ...

It's the only thread about Swalwell currently on the front or back page.

Do try harder in your current alias' trolling.

... but satellite images suggest the project has stalled before even breaking ground. ...

So the evidence does not seem to provide a manner of correlation with what Pres Trump has been saying?

I am shocked!

Shocked, I say. [channeling Foghorn Leghorn]

Sánchez has emerged as one of Israel's most vocal critics in the EU. He accused Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of committing genocide in Gaza and denounced the joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran as an "immense error."

Critics claim that Israel's continued strikes against Lebanon are undermining a peace settlement in the broader region. During his speech in Andalusia, Sánchez called for an immediate end to the war in the Middle East that has led to a surge in global oil prices and mass displacement across the region.

The foreign ministers of Spain, Ireland and Slovenia accused Israel of breaching the association agreement with the EU in a letter to the bloc's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, on Saturday. They said that the approval of the death penalty by the Israeli parliament and violent action by Israeli settlers in the West Bank are violations of fundamental human rights. ...

@#2

Yeah, it seems to be all the trolls have of late ...

@#2

Yeah, I have a difficulty in seeing a happy outcome for this development.

... on many levels.

Now do the GOP and Pres Trump.

... Imad Komeyha and his family spent 12 hours traveling from northern Lebanon back to Kfar Sir, a village in the south, only to find their house in ruins, laid to waste amid Israeli airstrikes.

He had been among 1 million people displaced by Israel's invasion, launched in March after Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed force in Lebanon separate from the government, fired rockets from Lebanon in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon had reached a 10-day ceasefire deal, but many returning to their homes in southern Lebanon found only destruction.

"I am devastated," Komeyha, a 62-year-old political analyst, told NBC News. "My eldest son is married and has a baby. He lives downstairs, in the same building, his house is also gone." ...

@#8 ... A few seats away from me, a distinguished-looking elderly Englishman made a derogatory comment about the waiter: ...

Oh, the stories I could tell of my similar experinces.

Good, bring the discussion to the fore.

@#1 ... "Many former colleagues at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have abandoned their old boss whom they mocked as "Little Napoleon" behind his back. "[Bovino]'s considered nuclear at this point," a senior CBP source reported, "and agents aren't getting anywhere near having anything to do with him." ...

Is that typical of the ~managers~ Pres Trump has put into pla ce in his administration?

@#1 ... As Ian Bremmer points out, America's allies saw the U.S. pull missile defense assets from South Korea, leave allies in Asia without Patriot coverage, and shift naval power from the Pacific to the Gulf. ...

Yup.

Pres Trump seems to be more focused upon the short-term ~what makes me look good~ aspect, instead of the longer-term "what is good for future generations" aspect.

It's still the weekend ... :)

... and kudos to the journalist who exposed this possible major breach of security.
