Thanks David. Great summary of what’s going on.

someone needs to bring a skateboard to a Hogsbreath hearing and just hold it while asking questions. That will probably then be banned as supremely unflattering.

Several online reports point to the origin of trump's characterization of war against Iran as an "excursion", which initially the WH termed an INcursion rather than full-on war. trump heard the word as "EXcursion", and unable to distinguish the meaning between the two, war on Iran has "officially" become an"excursion", with none of his advisors daring to correct the illiterate mo'fo'.

And that is the state of play today.

Re that DOJ fandango, you know that’s far closer to SOP for the pathological POS’ White House than we’ll ever know.

Speaking of: I made an attempt this morning to get Gemini to tell me about the involvement of AI in blowing up the Iranian school. Apparently the humans were provided by a list of targets, which list AI was involved in putting together.

Where the research stopped was before I bothered asking the obvious questions: So no one bothered to ask the AI to provide the most current information and the reason for that failure was what?

Now waiting for reporting from the establishment media; breath not being held.

And speaking of SecWar’s imbeciles and worse, from the unflattering photos affair, one’s reminded of the old line reborn: Vanity, thy name is RWNJ manly man manque.

IMHO, there are plenty of unflattering photos of this whole regime. Especially Hegseth and Trump.

I'm also a member, David and plan to stay that way.

Only in a couple of the photos did Hegseth resemble the evil vampire that he is. He should be happy with that.

Re: WaPo reporting on Kegsbreath's banning of photographers because of unflattering photos...NYT also reported on the banning, but nary a comment about "unflattering photos", rather as more "restrictions" on Pentagon reporting by news orgs.

C'mon, Times, follow the lead of your hollowed- out rival, already.
