For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert. [Cartoon by @adamzyglis]

White MAGA is massively unqualified.

So… when I put on my head this morning I must have gotten it cross-threaded, or maybe one of the connectors has a bent pin. Whatever the case, everything is just a little off today.

Hi unsolicited opinion from a British person incoming. If you live in the US and you don’t vote for Kamala you’re fucking stupid and basically the entire rest of the world will want to give you a slap for passing up the opportunity to bring in one of the least dogshit front-running leftist politicians in recent history just because you don’t agree with absolutely every single little tiny thing she believes.

Here in the UK we would give almost fucking ANYTHING to have a politician who openly shows care for their country’s people even an eighth as much as Kamala does. Do NOT fuck this up.

The Orange Asshole skipped out on military service and has the balls to talk shit about people who gave everything for their country, their fellow warriors and their friends. Orange Numbnuts should be vilified by everyone who ever had a relative in the service, or served themselves, KNOWING from Day One that they could be killed or maimed, and then doing it anyway.

"[The Presidential Medal of Freedom] the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead."

-- Donald Trump

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

And here I am, 44 years to the day since I reported for Aviation Officer Candidate School at Naval Air Station Pensacola!
