What’s the plan when #Trump sends #ICE agents after people standing in line to vote in November? Is there a plan at all?
September 11 was inconceivable until it happened. The likelihood of sending ICE agents to intimidate voters is much higher.
Please, if you don’t already have a plan, make one. Make it foolproof. We cannot have him stealing another election!
Sincerely,
All Sane Americans

"Donald Trump’s unlawful war in Iran is escalating rapidly, and the gap between what he’s saying and what’s actually happening has never been wider. We are now seeing the deployment of one of the most elite rapid-response forces in the United States military, the 82nd Airborne Division. This is not a symbolic move or a small advisory presence."

#SCOTUS indicated sympathy Tuesday toward the #Trump admin’s defense of the govt's authority to turn away #asylum seekers when ofcls deem #US - #Mexico #border crossings too overburdened.
The legal dispute centers on a policy called "#metering" that the Trump admin may seek to revive after it was dropped by Joe #Biden in 2021. The policy allowed US #immigration ofcls to stop asylum seekers at the border & indefinitely decline to process their claims.

#Trump has cast another #mail #ballot in #Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of “fraud” & push #Congress to curtail the practice.
Palm Beach County voter records show Trump voted by mail in a Tuesday special #election for state legislative seats & his ballot has been counted. Early in-person voting in the contest ran through Sunday, when Trump was still at his south Florida estate.

"We will, eventually, get a negotiated settlement with Iran. There will be no change of the Iranian regime, nor unconditional surrender. Which means that President Trump will have failed to achieve his primary war aims."

Trump Doesn’t Have the Cards
Karma comes for our very stable genius and has he even said “thank you”?Jonathan V. Last (The Bulwark)
"Never before has an administration so openly glorified outright killing as the current White House propaganda machine does with its obscene snuff videos of the Iran war and the destruction of small boats.
Unlike with fascism in the 20th century, there is no attempt to promote or symbolically reward self-sacrifice –" (continued in /3)
(continued from /2)
"it is just video game-style killing at a distance, justified not with strategic objectives, but with seemingly uncontrollable emotions ('fury' and a thirst for vengeance). And all accompanied by open admissions that basic laws of warfare will be broken."
"It seems that Hegseth and company are also promoting an ultimately nihilist cult of death. But it celebrates killing by pressing a button thousands of miles away; meanwhile, America’s own dead are dishonored, as Trump has used their repatriation to display his Maga merch and fundraise off the victims of war."

As Brian Kaylor reports, "Pete Hegseth’s Bible, like his body, is stamped with two Crusader tattoos."
The bible Hegseth used when he was sworn in has the same Crusader cross with which he's tattooed stamped on it, and has the stamp "Deus vult," also tatoooed on Hegseth's body.
As Kaylor notes,
"White supremacists have appropriated Crusader imagery to cast themselves as Christian warriors fighting to drive out Muslims and others in the name of God."

"The death toll in the lawless U.S. campaign against alleged drug-smuggling boats rose to at least 159 on Thursday after a strike in the eastern Pacific killed two people and left one survivor, who was turned over to the Costa Rican Coast Guard, according to the Pentagon. It was the 46th such strike on the high seas."

"He’s about to wind down and exit because he doesn’t give a damn about anything except maintaining his wealth and power — and the war is now costing him both.
It’s hurting his financial backers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — whose wealth has been seriously diminished by the war and whose vulnerability has been exposed."

"The Iran conflict has been sold to the public as a story with a clear objective, to stop their nuclear program, punish its proxies, restore deterrence, and then, by magic, stability reigns. But when you dig deeper, you don’t find a coherent plan; you find a chaotic conflict with no endgame. There is no path toward resolution, but rather an endless catastrophe."

"The father of a dead U.S. serviceman has denied claims by Pete Hegseth that he told the Defense Secretary to 'not stop until the job is done' – referring to the war in Iran.
'No, I didn’t say anything along those lines,' Charles Simmons told NBC News in an interview Thursday, recalling his encounter with Hegseth at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware."

The Washington Post is taking things seriously tonight. Here is their headline:
“Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz.”
It’s not boots on the ground. It’s blood on the ground. At the whim of one man, the blood of thousands has already been spilled. No matter who it belongs to, all blood is precious."

"Some estimates, the first two sources tell us, are easily in the dozens for an initial phase of occupation, with numbers likely to rise sharply if President Trump wished to hold the island for an extended duration.
Some of the internal Kharg analysis has been shared directly with Trump in recent weeks, sources stress."

"Donald Trump is backing down from striking Iranian power plants, giving a five-day extension due to what he describes as productive talks with Iran. The problem is that Iran denies having any conversations with the White House or even through intermediaries."
~ Aaron Parnas
"Third, unlike the Iraq War (when George W. Bush urged Americans to go to the mall to shop) or Trump’s first attack on Iran, virtually every American already has felt — or will soon feel — the war’s impact. The price of oil won’t come down anytime soon."
"Several factors increase the likelihood that Trump’s support will crater.
First and foremost, a decomposing president, plainly out of his depth, is on display as the public increasingly grasps that this debacle was predictable and entirely avoidable. ...
Second, even if Trump wants to, it will become obvious that he has lost control of the timeline and the ballooning cost of the war."
"As unpopular as Donald Trump’s ill-conceived, incompetently managed war was when it began, it is now more unpopular with a key segment of voters. 'Trump’s net approval of -20 for handling the situation in Iran represents a drop from last week’s poll. Then, 39% of Americans approved of how Trump was handling Iran and 52% disapproved — a net approval of -13,' The Economist/YouGov reported last week."

Trump’s Disastrous War Comes Home to Roost
Three big risks threaten that things will only get worseJennifer Rubin (The Contrarian)
"'And he’s not going to get a ceasefire as long as Iran is holding the gun of the strait of Hormuz against his head.'
'He tends to be naive about how things can happen,' Panetta told Smith. 'If he says it and keeps saying it, there’s always a hope that what he says will come true. But that’s what kids do. It’s not what presidents do.'”
"As former defense secretary and Central Intelligence Agency director Leon Panetta told David Smith of The Guardian, '[I]f there was an escape here for Trump, it would be to declare victory and it’s over and we’ve been able to be successful in all of our military targets. The problem is he can declare victory all he wants but, if he doesn’t get the ceasefire, he’s got nothing.'"
"The president is under enormous pressure, as his war with Iran sparked Iranian officials to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil flows. This outcome was expected by previous presidents, but Trump seemed to think he could avoid it and now is stuck without an easy solution."
