Iranian's official news outlet Tasnim hits the nail on the head here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...
from an 8/20/25 NYT article: "In response to the interview, Iran’s Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the country’s Revolutionary Guard, on Wednesday described Mr. Trump’s remarks as “incoherent.”"

It's the same with fascism currently taking hold in the US.

Hey, Ogles: Looks like Nashville, which is in your district in TN, beats out DC and most other blue cities in the US in terms of its violent crime rate. Congrats!

Is Herr Trump sending troops your way, next?

Strong Sebastian Gorka vibes with this guy. Do they have a stylebook or something?

"In 2024, Washington, D.C., had a violent crime rate of about 1,005 per 100,000 residents, according to data reported to the F.B.I. Among the eight U.S. cities with the largest populations, Houston and Philadelphia have the highest rates of violent crime. Among cities with a similar population size to the U.S. capital, Memphis and Detroit have some of the highest rates." NYT 8/11/2025

I think this is the first time I've seen the paper of record call a Trump lie a"lie." Will it continue? Time will tell.

Just another unbelievably shitty development from this shittiest of administrations...
From an NPR news story: "Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees."

This is just in the first few months. Can we really let this continue?
Impostors have taken notice. Crooks pretending to be ICE officials have attempted an astonishing variety of schemes: A woman in Bibb County, Georgia, was recently detained at work by another woman who identified herself as an ICE agent — only to realize as she was being driven away that the “agent” was actually a kidnapper. A man in Houston also claiming to represent ICE conducted a fake traffic stop, robbing a motorist of his cash and ID. While impounding an illegally parked vehicle, cops in Huntington Park, California, recently found a loaded gun and official-looking documents with DHS headings inside. Among an alarming array of other instances, ICE impersonators have detained a car full of Hispanic motorists in Charleston, South Carolina; invaded a residence hall at Temple University in Philadelphia; and sexually assaulted a woman at a Motel 6 in Raleigh, North Carolina, threatening to deport her if she reported him.

Chilling.
"Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”

I ask this all the time, now -- but wtaf is happening here? Whose nephew/brother/son is this dude? Or is it just the usual staggering incompetence on the part of this administration?
Headline and lead of NYT article, July 23 20205: "American Convicted of Murder Is Freed by Trump From Venezuela Prison The Trump administration said it was protecting Americans unjustly held abroad. One of the rescued men, Dahud Hanid Ortiz, killed three people, according to court documents."
