"Mar-a-Lago face":

The Incoherence of the Donald

Don't worry, Wingnuts. They're not covering Trump's descent into full-time incoherence. They shot their bolt proclaiming that Biden was going senile, so they're staying silent about Trump's losing his sanity.

Too Late, Bud. We're Not Forgetting.

Scoop: White House tells House Republicans to stop talking about mass deportations.

Well, guess what. We're not forgetting that that was a central plank of Trump's campaign two years ago.

Trump and Miller promised their base that they would do exactly what they are doing. What they told the rest of us was to pay no attention, they were only going after criminals and "the worst of the worst", but they were lying. They're deporting asylum seekers and deaf kids, because that morn behind the Resolute Desk believes that asylum seekers are coming from insane asylums.

Who Knew: Trump Has A Weird Fetish for Men's Shoes-- UPDATED

He keeps buying shoes for his Cabinet officials and aides. And he expects them to wear them.

That's just...weird. And his staff are all cowards.

A Legacy of Bitterness That Will Last For Decades

Thick black smoke was still rising in the sky, soot covered the streets and cars, balconies filled with black gunk, and the toxic air had filled the lungs as Tehran woke up after a night of airstrikes on the city’s oil depots on Sunday.

In messages and voice notes sent to the Guardian, people described the situation in their homes and on the streets, some calling it “apocalyptic”. With the sun blotted out, disoriented people in Iran’s capital had to turn on their lights to see through the gloom.

Four oil depots and a petroleum logistics site in and around Tehran were hit. Local authorities said six people were killed and 20 wounded at one of the sites.

Videos shared by citizen journalists showed massive flames over the Tehran sky overnight and smoke still billowing over the oil storage facilities. As rain poured down on the city of 10 million people on Sunday morning, authorities warned of toxic acid rain and many residents woke up with pain in their throat and eyes burning.

If the stated goal of the Trump Administration for this war, to persuade the Iranian people to push to change their government, poisoning the air over Iran's largest city, not to mention bombing a girls's school, are pretty boneheaded ways to do it.

The question now is who is driving the bus on this war. It's begging to look as though the overall commander is Netanyahu.

The Gulf Water War?

Iran has made it clear that attacking their water supplies will not go unanswered.

If they successfully hit a number of the desalinization plants in the area, a good part of the Persion Gulf region will become uninhabitable, for that's the main source of fresh water for a number of cities.

Not that Trump or Hegseth'll give a fuck. But those countries who have given Trump and Kushner large amounts of money might. And they might be really willing to talk to congressional investigators and DoJ's lawyers in 2029.

Feckless, Heedless, Incompetence: Hallmarks of the Trump Administration

He seems to have launched into his Big Beautiful War with no thought of the consequences for the global economy. This is from an opinion piece that is not paywalled:

Trump neither sought nor received congressional approval, much less international support, for his war. But perhaps the most shocking thing about his cavalier approach is that he seems to have had no idea that the Gulf would be a target. In an interview with CNN on Monday, he professed that Iran’s attacks on American allies in the Gulf were “probably the biggest surprise” — despite the fact that just about every country in the region had warned his administration that Iran would surely attack them in retaliation for an American assault.
...
It is unsettling how often Trump affects astonishing indifference, as though the most powerful man in the world were merely a spectator to events he himself has set in motion — and who in any case has little investment in the outcome. But that curious passivity reveals a darker truth. Trump seems to believe that he, like his fantasy America, exists on a different plane, utterly untouchable by the swirl of global events. The devastating consequences of his actions are not just someone else’s fault. They are someone else’s problem, too.

Since Trump is big on "feelings" (he launched this war because he had a feeling, not hard intel or evidence), I'll give you one of mine: The natiional average for gasoline will be $4/gal by the end of the month, if not St. Patrick's Day. By Memorial Day, if not sooner, it will be over $5/gal. Those who have Priuses and other hybrids will look across the island at the gas station, as some guy cries about filling up his giant SUV or pickup truck and think "fuck your feelings".

Meanwhile, Trump and his minions are trying to shrug off the fact that his buddy Putin is helping the Iranians to target and kill Americans. One has to wonder why people still don't get that Trump, Gabbard, and Witkoff, among others, are owned by Putin. Republicans are basically cowards, just totally fearful of Trump and his stochastic MAGA terrorists.

And if Biden had said this, the Right would be screaming that he needs to be removed:

If This is True, Then We Are As Evil as the Russians

Tehran: Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Saturday condemned the US attack on a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island, stating it's a "blatant and desperate crime" with grave consequences.

If we did that (and it is a big if), that that was almost as fucking evil as bombing a girls' school. Both are war crimes.

Which means that this is a war with no good guys.

Well, there are clowns, like this stupid fuck wearing a baseball cap at a solemn ceremony.
