It’s funny that someone could be a trillionaire and still be a worthless POS.
This post isn’t about anyone in particular.

A lack of spare parts for aircraft due to sanctions was a serious problem for Russia. Trump rushes to Putin’s rescue yet again, while Russia concedes nothing and continues to murder Ukrainian civilians.
The United States has lifted restrictions on the Boeing Corporation’s engagement with the Belarusian national airline, Belavia -Igor Cherginets, Director General of Belavia, as reported by the news agency BelTA.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has granted Boeing authorization to work with the Belarusian airline. "This will allow Belavia to directly obtain spare parts, components, and software for the aircraft currently in its fleet. Furthermore, it paves the way for negotiations regarding the direct acquisition of aircraft from Boeing. It is worth noting that a similar authorization had previously been issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which provided the technical framework for direct cooperation between Belavia and Boeing. A year ago, the U.S. government issued an authorization that removed all sanctions—specifically political sanctions—against Belavia," the airline’s Director General stated.

Trump went down to Georgia.
He was lookin' for some votes to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
He was willing to make a deal

ON LEAVE: A police sergeant threatened to rip a Black woman's Ring camera off her wall when she wouldn't show the footage. She wasn't a suspect.
"Otherwise, I'm ripping it off the wall, I'm writing a search warrant, and I'm gonna keep you up all night."

Officers were investigating a nearby shooting and wanted her doorbell video. She told them she had a baby inside.
Sgt. Jennifer Umphlet then told her she was being detained for "not cooperating."
Another officer later said she "wound up in handcuffs over nothing."
The shooters were later charged without her footage. After the video resurfaced, Umphlet was put on leave. City records now list her salary as $0.
Was this police work or a cop abusing her badge?

Sure.
DOD says 47 billion. Very likely they’re underestimating, but we’ll go with 47 billion.
Let’s call reconstruction 10 billion to be conservative - even though I think it’s likely we’ll be higher than that, ultimately. Also, CSIS noted in their June estimate that incomplete/suppressed imagery could result in significant undercounting.
Several of those bases are still inaccessible, so logistics get more expensive. Longer sorties, more maintenance, more tanker flights, etc.
We’ve had to scramble more assets to the region (and then even more assets out of the region, as the threat landscape evolved).
And it looks like we’re about to resume/escalate the campaign shortly after the midterms.
We’re also still discovering new damage on a monthly basis. I’d be shocked if we aren’t at a real cost of about a quarter trillion.

This is invaluable journalism, and kudos to the AP for doing the hard work to report it out. Could I ask that the media writ large give this the same level of attention as it did the Cheesecake Factory kerfuffle b/c DOD has very clearly hidden this information from the public.

This new report of the damage to US assets in the war in Iran is really bad.
We’re looking at hundreds of billions in lost capability, and we didn’t actually gain anything.

Still can’t get past how staging a coup to stay in power didn’t result in immediate prison time and the prohibition of ever serving in elective office again.

According to Trump:
In 2016 our elections were secure under Obama.
In 2020 our elections were rigged under Trump.
In 2024 our elections were secure under Biden.

Here’s what we should be spending $1.8 billion on:
600+ million school lunches
Salaries for 27,000+ new teachers
School supplies for 10.5 million kids for a year
Not on Trump’s ego-fueled vanity projects. He’s wasting our tax dollars on himself.

🚨Abdul El-Sayed just verbally FLATTENED Donald Trump:
“I will go through a metal detector if you will sit for a lie detector. My first question? Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election? I will go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time.”

Tell me again how the trump regime is “eliminating fraud and waste” because that makes me laugh my ass off EVERY TIME. Side note: Why the fuck is the trump regime buying up private prisons with our taxpayer dollars? Say it with me: Concentration camps.
"New records obtained by KARE 11 show the company that owned a vacant private prison in Appleton, Minnesota offered to sell it to the state in 2025 for $75 million.
One year later, the Trump administration agreed to use taxpayer funds to buy the same abandoned prison from CoreCivic, Inc., for $495.6 million.
The price difference, $420 million, is more than taxpayers are estimated to have lost in Minnesota’s much-publicized Feeding Our Future fraud scandal." kare11.com/article/news/inve…

The fucking media has spent MONTHS scrutinizing Abdul El-Sayed's attitude towards Jewish people, but I guarantee you he's never said anything as antisemitic or racist as THIS.
WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?
Is he allowed to say ANYTHING because he's crazy?

NEWS: Trump erupted after he learned Alina Habba signed a $50 million deal. He told allies she should donate a portion of that money to his future presidential library or another Trump entity. He also suggested the family should not pay out her contract.

Ossoff: Well, it sounds like the West Wing staff right now is mostly doing child care. I mean, they’re having to coddle the toddler president, who is staring at imminent rebuke of historic magnitude.
And it is deeply dangerous to have a president so delusional and so surrounded by sycophants, and, yes, people who just tell him what he wants to hear and indulge his every delusion. That’s most of the Trump administration.
This pope, votes.
Be like him.
This is a very powerful message to Catholics, Christians, and everyone in the United States. 🇺🇸✝️🇻🇦
Even Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
If he casts his vote, he could become the first sitting pope in the Catholic Church’s nearly 2,000-year history to participate in a secular election.
Just think about that for a moment. Nearly 2,000 years of history.
Imagine how important this election must be.
