The Pentagon has just submitted a budget request to the US Congress, asking for an additional $200 billion to (checks notes) fight the war in Iran that isn't a war and we won two weeks ago anyway.

(The spineless, useless Democrats are almost certain to cave and grant it, BTW)

The current US administration's planning, commencement, and execution of its latest (illegal) war makes the last act of Stripes (1981) look like an Eisenhower expedition.

Idiots and incompetents. Predictable (and predicted) blowback from actions taken without a single adult in the planning room, and an incontinent toddler mashing the "invade / bomb" button.

This will get worse before it gets better.

The flabbergastingly-incompetent "We're voluntarily dismissing our appeal of this dog of a case." / "No we're not" duelling motions from the US DoJ kindergarten theatre of yesterday and today just *screams* of the following sequence of events:

1. Senior DoJ attorneys trying to formulate the appeal of the loss in the original case (which, as you'll recall, is about Trump illegally and arbitrarily punishing law firms he doesn't like) know they have an impossible task - there's nothing they can say that will justify the appeal in a legal sense.
2. They write it up as "We should drop the case" and send it up the chain.
3. A manager/supervisor/<title>-in-charge approves it.
4. It slides by Bondi's desk without notice. She's busy screaming about the Dow-Jones anyways.
5. They file the motion.
6. It gets coverage on TV news, including Fox.
7. Trump sees this, picks up the phone and screams at Bondi demanding the punishment continue.
8. You Are Here.

This really is the #stupidest #timeline.
