Description

Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell give their takes on the Trump White House calling an early “lid” during an escalating war with Iran. As Trump claims the U.S. military is “unstoppable,"  American fighter jets were shot down and a service member is missing. Sarah also explains that swing voters are turning against Trump, feeling misled as the war drags on and prices rise. They also discuss Trump’s repeated “48-hour” threats, rising oil costs, and the growing gap between his rhetoric and reality.

Pete Hegseth former Fox News TV-host firing Top Army Generals is ridiculous. US is a joke at the moment.

A reality tv actor is running the country, and a talk show host is running the war. What could possibly go wrong?

A friend of mine was killed in Iraq in 2004. I think of him all the time, especially since this war started, and even more since yesterday. Because I can’t help but think of that pilot possibly in Iran in the context of a president who’s been clear about what he thinks about people who get captured. And I’m incensed anew people in this country were so irresponsible to put so many lives in the hands of such a man. A lot of us are not okay.

I am President of a (heavy/highway) construction company. Some machines consume 8 gallons of diesel per hour. We have fixed price contracts and Trump is screwing us royally with this stupid, unplanned war. Trump is mentally unwell (and a terrible business person) and Hegseth is a moron.
