I like the part when he didn't say Et tu Brute, because he was speaking Greek, saying Καὶ σύ, τέκνον meaning "See you punk"

It has nothing to do with reality and all for the performance for the audience of one, well, possibly two. Sad part, it might work with zero chance of blowback

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Sad accident? Corner cutting for defense rush? Something more sinister?

My guess is the Qatari’s threatened to close al Udeid since we didn’t protect them from the Israeli strike, and this is a placatory move. We already train the Singapore Air Force at Mountain Home.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Friday night feisty? Those are two very different things. Waiting in the sidelines for the bad to die vs undermining a weak leader in voting based system

Blueanon territory. Vance dosent have the pull. Maybe they manage to rig the play but no way with actual voting. And those billionaires? They are running for the hills. Yarvin is leaving the US, Thiel is at "Greta is the Whore of Babylon stage". They have no loyalty or core ideology

Trump doesn't have that kind of power. And attacking any weaknesses real or perceived can be useful. Hes not dictator yet, so currently elections and weak performance matters

@kajakallas.bsky.social shoots back. "The only party to blame for Russia's invasion of Ukraine is Russia, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, responding to Angela Merkel's criticism of the Baltic states and Poland."

Eh, he's also insecure. People publicly asking about his health from other people and especially hinting that someone else is running the show will make him fume and kick out folks. In this case, chaos is our friend
