@yoasif Only those Americans who are part of the Trump administration or who support him. They talk of death and destruction and dominance and beat their chests. They are fools, bullies, buffoons.

The rest of us are sick at what we see and hear.

@yoasif This WP article indicates allegations of betting by someone in the know about the attack on Iran - https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/kalshi-khamenei-bet-controversy/ - This takes shameless enrichment to a whole other level! I wonder if it might be anyone we are familiar with??
