Unless, of course, your name ends in Trump, when it ain't nothing but an opportunity to grift, deflect and destroy.

I hope Beau is well.

Am amused that of late Belle has inserted some archive footage from previous talks where she predicted exactly what happened.

i wish the South Park guys did a Team America sequel, I can imagine Hegseth walking around screaming ‘team America fuck yeah’ on repeat and nothing else

Is that the wife of Beau ?

I used to follow him when I had a VPN. It turned out though that he had been "rather misleading" of his history, in a suggestive way.

Yeah, Kiley. He was my Rep before DH and I split up and I moved. He was the most rabid of Trumpsters in that uber-Red district. Now due to redistricting he's trying to portray himself as 'disaffected' to try to get elected in one of the new districts which are not GOP heavy.

I'm still trying to keep the 'district-hopping' candidates straight for the midterms. The Dem Rep currently holding my district is going to run in a different district in the midterms. I'm bummed because I really liked him.

I'm not familiar with any of the Dem contenders in my district. It's like that old baseball saying "You can't tell the players without a scorecard".

It is indeed Beau's wife (and not, as his detractors would have us believe, an actor he has hired to be the face of his channel).

I am not at all sure that his imprisonment in the past made his very cogent 'casts less valid. The reasons given for him having been prosecuted seemed to vary a fair bit among people other than him who were keen to blacken him, so I was less inclined to take them as gospel than I might have been (and I ignore anything on Reddit pretty-much automatically); I don't know his own account, if he gave any. Anyway I am not at all sure that his imprisonment in the past made his very cogent 'casts less valid* *in the present. I'm not sure whether I still have a criminal record myself, but it has frod all relevance to my views on anything else – and I can't remember Beau doing a podcast about the thing he was imprisoned for.

Actually, I think it likely that we might not recognise what he was up to as the usual understanding of "human trafficking": Epstein he clearly wasn't.

The jail stuff came out after my VPN era. I had heard of accusations, But I thought smears. Then later I read something, can't remember where. and I looked at all up, and it was true.

I don't care about jail or whatever. But what cheesed me of that in episodes I had seen ( and I used to watch it all), is that he had alluded to being a military contractor. a police trainer, and a journalist. I say alluded because he never directly claimed it, but he was heavily suggestive of it. I certainly felt that was rather dishonest. "

As an interesting aside, I once came across a wumao on his twitter. Chatted on dms then on another platform for a while. They really do exist. Totally nowt to do with B of the 5th of course. They are quite easy to spot at times. And they are not all on right wing pages. They do a lot of left. Things like " remember slavery", or "see what the colonists done to native Americans". It's not all on MAGA pages yelling "grab your guns".

CNN feed:

"US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed US efforts to avoid civilian casualties aren’t “appreciated enough” on Tuesday, as questions swirl over US military involvment in the single deadliest attack of the fighting so far at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran. The US-Israeli offensive has killed more than 1,200 civilians in Iran, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA)."

I don't know what to say really.

My DD goes to a "regime" school.

Kegsbreath is very touchy about what the media prints isn't he. He seems to spend most of his time criticising them.

I’m not an Iranian regime supporter.
I don’t think Epstein’s stuff is funny.
That being said I did have a snigger about the Iranian post calling Trump et Al ‘Epstein’s gang’
Also sort of wishing some other politicians from over this west way would put it so clearly.

CNN feed:

"The Pentagon will release its report into a strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran, the White House said Tuesday.

“The Department of War will do that — the investigation continues,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during Tuesday’s press briefing. “And as the president said yesterday at his press conference, he will accept the conclusion of that investigation, whatever it may be.”"

Apologies if I missed mention of this here today.

You wish, Donald! That idiot has no clue the trouble has unleashed.

Consider this my tardy evening shift pmk. 🫡

These are better

Confusing to see the newsfeed. Trump says all the Iranian ships sunk. Trump says all the Iranian missiles and drones destroyed Trump says the US navy will escort ships. Trump says more Iranian ships have been sunk, after they had already been sunk. Trump said Iran had surrendered to their neighbours... none these claims in particular order.

And in the last few hours 3 ships hit.

It's almost as if TACO is not telling the truth.

Rachel Maddow, on point as usual!

It appears the US THAAD anti missile systems in South Korea are on their way out of South Korea.

I expect the rotund fella with the odd haircut up north will be barking out orders.

There was a picture doing the rounds of Hegseth wearing shoes too big for him. This explains it.

I think it was Lil Marco's feet, which are apparently as tiny as Trump's hands. These people are such cowardly disgraces for humanity.

Sorry, I meant the UK right wing media. It seems like they spent a few days trying to decide which way to lean but are now all in.

That's the one!
