Gee. What a surprise 🙄

gzt: "Carlson told Huckabee that the biblical verse had promised the land to the descendants of Abraham, including the area between the Euphrates River in Iraq and the Nile River in Egypt. Such a swath would encompass modern-day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and parts of Saudi Arabia. “It would be fine if they took it all,” said Huckabee, who was appointed by President Donald Trump last year.

Wall Street Journal - Opinion - Trump Demeans Himself as He Attacks the Supreme Court

He called the Justices who ruled against him ‘very unpatriotic’ and ‘fools.’

20 Feb 2026

President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology - to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency. ...

 

This is ugly even by Mr. Trump’s standards. He’s accusing them of betraying the U.S. at the behest of nefarious interests he didn’t identify, no doubt because they don’t exist. ...

 

The fault doesn’t lie with the Justices but with his own tariff obsessions. ...

 

Ironic in that he hand-picked 3 of them himself. I guess they're "only the best people" when they do exactly what he wants...otherwise they're "fools" 🙄

Gee. What a surprise 🙄

 

"Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Thursday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team."

Bullshit. Anyone else would've been dragged over coals and tar feathered, turned into a felon.

Trump? Musk? 

A strongly worded letter.

Exactly.

The couple did not believe that her nearly 20-year-old deportation order would be a problem when they voted for Trump in the 2024 election.
“I really thought this was just going to be something more organized, but it’s obviously not,” DeMario said. “They just blanket everybody.”
“I didn’t vote for this, but I definitely voted Republican.”
Local10 News also reported that Alcantu has other criminal misdemeanors on her record from the early 2000s. The Department of Homeland Security, however, has her listed as “the worst of the worst,” charged with “dangerous drugs and drug possession.”
Now, however, DeMario has said that he regrets his decision and that he has never been a die-hard MAGA fan.
“I am no Trump supporter,” DeMario wrote on his public Facebook account. “I vote Republican. And I will never f---ing vote Republican again.”
“I am p----d at this whole administration, and all of government... I voted Republican, but so did millions of other people, and what was the alternative? But this guy is a real POS.” 

"OMG! I thought this would happen to everyone else but not me!" volume 1000000 🙄

(Actually, when you voted for the orange buffoon, that did make you "a Trump supporter", in my view). The alternative was...someone who wouldn't have done this to your partner? 🤷‍♂️ Just a thought.

"I voted Republican, but so did millions of other people, and what was the alternative?"

What about the option of voting for anyone that is not a felon rapist?

Reuters - Trump pushes US toward war with Iran as advisers urge focus on economy

Summary

•     Trump has ordered military buildup near Iran, threatened strikes
•     Trump has not given a detailed case for US-Iran war
•     With midterms looming, Trump aides want focus on economy
  
  

WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump has pushed the United States to the brink of war with Iran even as aides urge him to focus more on voters' economic worries, highlighting the political risks of military escalation ahead of this year's midterm elections.

 

Trump has ordered a huge buildup of forces in the Middle East and preparations for a potential multi-week air attack on Iran.

 

But he has not laid out in detail to the American public why he might be leading the U.S. into its most aggressive action against the Islamic Republic since its 1979 revolution. ...

 

A senior White House official said that despite Trump's bellicose rhetoric there was still no "unified support" within the administration to go ahead with an attack on Iran.

 

EDIT  Trump now says he will increase his new global tariffs to 15%.  Insane.

If this carries on the midterms are going to be a shellacking for the Republicans.

Roll on November!
