Upon further consideration, I'd say there's like a 30% chance the GOP found a spine because the only thing keeping the MAGA coalition from crawling back into the sewer might not even get the opportunity to watch the Stranger Things finale.
So yes, this pic (and the enlargement) was taken today.
Yikes!

Very real chance that Congressional Republicans have been getting apocalyptic polling numbers coming in over the last several weeks and a number of them were spooked enough to break the GOP out of its blood oath with Trump. MTG really was the canary in the coalmine.
There are now bipartisan investigations in both the House and Senate into the administration targeting and killing people in the Caribbean without due process.

These idiots are going to end up shooting down a civilian airliner with this vague nonsense. What does "around Venezuela" even mean? How far around it? Should flights in eastern Colombia be suspended? To Bogata? This is stupid, reckless, incredibly dangerous, and illegal.

It needs to be explicitly laid out that the initial strike itself constituted an act of murder. We had no legal justification to blow up a random boat in international waters. They were both inhumane, illegal acts, and those who carried it and similar strikes out should be tried all the same.
Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:
“In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

Congressional Republicans smell blood in the water. Trump is cooked as far as I'm concerned. Only question is how far the GOP is willing to go to constrain him.

The Trump coalition is on life support because:
1.) Epstein
2.) MTG proved the Emperor has no clothes
At this point it should be a universally accepted fact in Washington that Trump is a bitch who will cave on contact.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

"Peace with freedom is the highest aspiration of the American people. We negotiate for peace. We sacrifice for it. We will never surrender for it."
Trump insists you surrender for peace at the expense of freedom. This is an inherently un-American proposal, and it should be treated with acidic rage.

The next Democratic president needs to commit to holding everyone in this administration accountable and to turning every piece of Russian military equipment on the planet into a smoldering pile of molten scrap. I'm sick of these fucks getting away with bullying innocent, vulnerable people.

We've all spent a lot of time trying to understand what Trump's appeal to many people is, but I think the simplest—and most likely—explanation is that he's a selfish piece of shit, and that trait appeals to the average person because it's transparent and relateable for them. Maybe people just suck.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Worst part is that 2-3 dozen people probably saw this before it got posted and none of them were normal enough to point it out.

Information operations on Russian civilians should have been happening from the start. As far as state action is concerned, that's some of the most bare minimum, low effort shit you can do. Hell, me and a couple buddies were doing troll farming on Russian social media within 2 weeks of Feb. 24th.
Following a series of Russian provocations the EU is discussing possible countermeasures such as cyberattacks on key Russian infrastructure, sudden NATO exercises near Russia’s borders, and information operations aimed at Russian citizens.

The US economy has held up well in spite of Trump's best efforts to destroy it, but I do think that we are much closer to a partial collapse that could spiral than most people are willing to admit/put their name to. There's just too much happening all at once, and eventually the bottom will fall out
