Trump's Second Term

Expect the Gulf to be blocked and gas prices going sky high now. The US will have to carry on what they started in an open ended war. No lessons learned at all from Iraq. I only hope the UK doesn't emulate Trump's mistake.
He doesn't need to learn lessons, he counts on there being no more real elections, and him and his billionaire buddies will be completely fine no matter how high prices go. Whatever brown people are hurt because of him across the world don't matter either, nor do military servicemen, they're all losers and suckers.
 
Well, D-Day did benefit greatly from the preceding allied bomber offensive deliberately exhausting the Luftwaffe as well as attacking German industry so, without wishing to diminish the bravery of the B2 crews, there's a parallel with Iran's air defenses having been suppressed by Israel before this attack.

No point overthinking it though, it's not a carefully thought through thesis, D-day is just a lazy go-to comparison for anything you want to hype as the biggest bestest thing ever.
Given the mess that the US made of landing on D-day it is not a good go to for the POTUS, the Canadians and Brits did it better!
 
Only if you have some knowledge of military history.

If the extent of your knowledge is "D-day good" then the comparison may be more understandable.
That's sizes it up. The D-Day landings was the largest single military operation in the history of mankind. 11,000 planes, 7,000 ships, and 160,000 allied soldiers. It took more than a year of planning. My understanding is the bombing in Iran involved about 125 aircraft. Mostly support aircraft.

Lol. That's because there was hardly any resistance on Sword and Juno. BTW, my father was involved in the Omaha Beach landing. The LST he was on was severely damaged.

"We don need no steenkin elections!"

The British tend to think that the resistance on the British and Canadian beaches was more ineffective because of the decision to use tanks in the first wave.
 
Social Security stops reporting call wait times and other metrics

Washington Post said:
The changes are the latest sign of the agency’s struggle with website crashes, overloaded servers and long lines at field offices amid Trump cutbacks.

Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics, which customers and advocates have used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs.

The agency removed a menu of live phone and claims data from its website earlier this month, according to Internet Archive records. It put up a new page this week that offers a far more limited view of the agency’s customer service performance.

The website also now urges customers to use an online portal for services rather than calling the main phone line or visiting a field office — two options that many disabled and elderly people with limited mobility or computer skills rely on for help. The agency had previously considered cutting phone services and then scrapped those plans amid an uproar.

One Social Security employee, who works in a claims processing center and who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said she suspects the erased webpages indicate an attempt to hide exploding call times and service backlogs piling up under the second Trump administration.

She noted that, in her experience under Trump so far, it is taking at least double the time to process a claim than it did under Biden.

I don't think it wouldn't have helped on Omaha. The geography and the German defense were very different than on Sword and Juno..

If it wasn't for the US Destroyers getting in close after the initial wave, the landing at Omaha probably would have failed.
 
Poor Marj feels betrayed.

@mtgreenee
I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises.

And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises:

NO MORE FOREIGN WARS.

NO MORE REGIME CHANGE.

WORLD PEACE.

And THIS is what the people voted for.

Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3.

It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!

After the bombs were dropped, we were told “complete success” and Iran’s nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out.

Then it quickly turned to Iran’s nuclear facilities “partially damaged” and now it’s “we don’t know where their enriched uranium is.”

Let me be very clear.

My children are 22, 25, and 27.

I will literally fight ANYONE for their future.

And their future and their entire generation’s future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR.

I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL.

Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers think and protest about, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and I can and DO have my own opinion.
 
DEAN: Have you ever been registered as an agent of a foreign principle under FARA?

BONDI: I assume you're talking about when I represented Qatar for a very short time

DEAN: The answer is ye--

BONDI: No! For anti-human trafficking for the World Cup

DEAN: Yes or no?

BONDI: You're the one that said Joe Biden was competent

DEAN: Taking a personal shot at me while swiping at Biden? Very strange.
