Has anyone seen his last debate with a weirdo called Mehdi Hasan? PBD was defending the war in Iran, as well as the kidnapping of Maduro, and you know what argument he made for the latter? That it's like OpenAI delivering a better product than Anthropic. Not content with just making this argument, with absolute confidence like he's saying 2+2, he also affected a facial expression like this was an own for the ages. I know you think I must be trolling, but believe me, folks. It's real, I write the best debate summaries.
It turns out that it is an own for the ages, outdoing the performance of Dinesh D'Souze against Dave Smith.
Obviously, this has the disclaimer that he's talking people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for his idiocy, so he's very smart when it comes to conning people. Just like politicians are very smart when it comes to enriching themselves, just not when it comes to improving their country.

Scenario 1: Trump doesn't attack Iran.
MAGA response: He kept us out of wars. No longer are we sinking many trillions of dollars into unwinnable wars for Israel. WINNING!
Scenario 2: Trump attacks Iran.
MAGA response: We just BLASTED the Ayatolah Konami who was several years past Iranian life expectancy. LIBRULZ MAD! MURICA FUCK YEAH! Bomb their schools, take their oil and their women! FAFO! WINNING!
Obligatory disclaimer: not all everything and such as, but enough.
Israel had opposed the smaller-scale strikes Trump was considering three weeks ago out of a sense they would merely be symbolic, and not worth the risk of massive retaliation.
That dynamic has shifted. A succession of Israeli spies and generals — including Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Gen. Eyal Zamir — have visited D.C. in recent days. Zamir briefed Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Dan Caine on Israel's offensive and defensive plans in the event of war with Iran.
"It's safe to say that nothing came out of that meeting to change his or the president's mind on attacking Iran," a U.S. official said, referring to Caine and Trump. "It's really the Israelis who want a strike. The president is just not there."
What they're saying: A senior U.S. official said Trump "really does not want to do it."
Any ideas? Is there any place at all (yet)?
New York Times: How Trump Took Up the ‘Christian Genocide’ Cause in Nigeria
Sitting at the grand wooden table, they outlined their concerns to Sebastian Gorka, the National Security Council’s senior director for counterterrorism, who has falsely argued that violence is a fundamental part of Islam.
I thought the MSM was going to clean up their act. This is editorializing if ever there was one. An omniscient voice denouncing someone as making a false argument without any counterargument whatsoever (it links to an 'expert says' article that names no one).
Mr. Gorka, a vocal defender of the administration’s efforts to temporarily ban travel from some predominantly Muslim countries, has said violence is a fundamental part of Islam and emanates from the language of the Quran. He rejects scholars’ assessment that Islamic militancy is an outgrowth of poverty, poor governance and war.
So the Islamic world has been poorly governed since its beginning? Including by the PDF-file? I assume Islamic militants would not like to hear that from these 'scholars'.
