IRONY bites Pam Bondi on the ASS, leading her to ask "WHAT'S IRONY?"

BASED ON HER CRITERIA, I ASSUME "TRUTH SOCIAL" WILL BE THE NEXT SITE SHE "TAKES DOWN."

The Justice Department on Thursday seized several websites it says were used by Iran as part of “psychological operations” targeting perceived advisories and spreading terrorist propaganda.

Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security was using the four websites, in part, to post “sensitive data stolen during such hacks, and calling for the killing of journalists, regime dissidents, and Israeli persons,” the DOJ said in an announcement Friday.

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that “terrorist propaganda online can incite real-world violence” in announcing the seizures while FBI Director Kash Patel said the “FBI will hunt down every actor behind these cowardly death threats and cyberattacks and will bring the full force of American law enforcement down on them.

Hey, Chris Hayes. I remind myself EVERY F*CKING DAY that Trump is a sociopath, NOT "every once in a while."

YES...it was a SHOCKING, DISGUSTING, TASTELESS moment. But is there really anyone out there who DOES NOT EXPECT THAT from Trump?

"Everyone once in a while, you just have to remind yourself the president of the United States is a sociopath. Or, at the very least, being charitable here, he just can't help himself from acting like one. "

"Donald Trump's sociopathic behavior, his inability to show any tact or decency or just appreciation that there's other human beings in the room with him who also have inner lives, emotions, right? It was on full display as he hosted the prime minister of Japan in the Oval Office today and gave this genuinely shocking answer to a Japanese reporter's perfectly legitimate question about coordination or lack thereof with allies during this war."

Trump responded by cracking a joke about Pearl Harbor to the face of Japan's sitting prime minister, Sanae Takaichi.

"Who knows better about surprise than Japan?" Trump said, as Takaichi looked visibly uncomfortable. "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Ok? Right?"

Hayes, like everyone in the room with Trump, was barely able to contain his disbelief.

Reuters/Ipsos poll: 7% of Americans support Orange Rapin' Felon Grampy sending ground troops into Iran. USA! USA USA!

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - Some 65% of Americans believe U.S. President Donald Trump will order troops into a large-scale ground war in Iran and just 7% support that idea, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday found.

The three-day poll showed Trump’s broader standing with the public holding largely unchanged at 40%, up 1 percentage point from a Reuters/Ipsos poll carried out in the hours after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. The poll, which gathered respondents from 1,545 U.S. adults nationwide, had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.

The Trump administration has mulled deploying thousands of U.S. troops to reinforce its operation in the Middle East, Reuters reported on Wednesday. The possible deployments could use air and naval forces to secure safe passage for oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, or could involve deploying U.S. troops to Iran’s shoreline. The Trump administration has also discussed options to send ground forces to Iran’s Kharg Island, the hub for 90% of Iran’s oil exports, Reuters reported.

Trump on Thursday said he was “not putting troops anywhere,” when asked by a reporter about his plans, adding, “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.”

MAGAt Moses Mikey suffers amnesia, FORGETS Kristi Noem is in his orbit, receives several gentle reminders

The House passed the Bill to Outlaw Wounding of Official Working Animals, or BOWOW, Act, which would make any noncitizen convicted of or admitting to harming law enforcement animals deportable. 190 Democrats voted against it, and 15 Democrats crossed over to vote yes.

Johnson pounced on the opportunity to dunk on his colleagues across the aisle.

"The Democrats just decided to officially become the party of PUNCHING PUPPIES. 190 Democrats just voted to give illegal immigrants the RIGHT TO PHYSICALLY ABUSE American service dogs — serving with law enforcement protecting American citizens. The level Democrats will go to protect illegal aliens instead of Americans is disturbing, disgusting, and dangerous," Johnson roared on X.

The viral claim notably misrepresents the Democratic opposition. Opponents argued the bill was largely redundant, as harming a police dog is already unlawful. They objected to the legislation's immigration enforcement mechanics.

Norman Ornstein, contributing editor for the Atlantic, wrote on X, "Now do your dear friend Kristi Noem. Asking for Cricket."

(SPOKEN IN HANK HILL VOICE)...Well, I'll tell ya what. When Leavitt says Trump has a plan for Iran, HE HAS A PLAN.

George Takei

‪@georgetakei.bsky.social‬
No one has rested assured since this regime first took office. And no, there is no plan in Iran. That's damn clear.

Trump's BELOVED former Press Secretary DENIED HER VITTLES AGAIN by another AMERICA-HATING RESTAURANT!

It is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO ME that the Croissanterie restaurant has HUCKLEBERRY DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!



https://www.thedailybeast.com/arkansas-maga-governor-sarah-huckabee-sanders-booted-from-croissanterie-restaurant-by-her-own-constituents/

A restaurant in Arkansas told the state’s MAGA governor she wasn’t welcome there.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who previously served as a White House press secretary during Donald Trump’s first presidential term, said she was asked to leave a restaurant called The Croissanterie in Little Rock last week by the eatery’s owners.

“Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave,” Sanders wrote in a post on X on Thursday, responding to a story about the matter by The Daily Wire editor-in-chief Brent Scher.

“Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down,” Sanders concluded.

One of the restaurant’s employees responded to the initial Daily Wire story, stating that the eatery did not regret its decision.

Andy Ogles (R-TN) equates having "a set of balls" with doing whatever Trump demands, enthusiastically, without question

House conservatives are training their fire on a new target: their own Senate majority leader.

Fed up with John Thune's (R-SD) refusal to nuke the filibuster and force through President Donald Trump's sweeping voter ID bill, House Republicans are reaching for a familiar weapon — the same scorched-earth playbook they used to torch former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

"It’s time for Thune to grow a set of balls," Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) told Notus on Thursday.

"Nuke the filibuster, pass all this stuff and pass Trump's executive orders," he added.

The frustration centers on the SAVE America Act, which passed the House 218-213 last month with just one Democrat voting yes. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot, including by mail, in an attempt to curb baseless accusations of rampant voter fraud. Critics say it would amount to voter suppression.

The whole gamut of crybaby "PEOPLE WANT AMERICA TO LOSE" bullsh*t coming from Hegseth and other Trump goons

I look at it this way.

I NEVER want America to lose.

That said, we have a 79 year old toddler in the White House who writes "DONNY ROCKS!" on the walls with his own poop.

What I WANTED...obviously past tense...was for America to NOT GET INTO ANOTHER WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

And the issue is that Trump wasn't prepared, did an end run around Congress, thought he was playing a video game or something, and here we are.

I don't want America to lose.

I want Trump and his goons to GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER, and SOON, and GET THE FUCK out of Iran before ANY MORE AMERICAN LIVES are LOST.

THAT'S what I "want."

TRUMP: "Iran has no firepower." SHORTLY AFTER THAT: "BOOM" A $100M U.S. F-35 was struck "by suspected Iranian firepower"

https://archive.ph/SzvOx#selection-401.7-401.48

Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. had obliterated Iran’s firepower, but a $100 million American fighter jet on Thursday made an emergency landing after being struck by what’s believed to be Iranian fire.

The F-35 made an emergency landing at the U.S. air base in the Middle East after being struck by Iranian fire, according to two sources to CNN.

U.S. Central Command confirmed that the stealth jet was flying a combat mission over Iran when it was forced to make an emergency landing.
