Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

It's really fucking annoying when Trump learns a new word, or finds one he wants used by everyone around him. Obviously the word of late is "obliterated". I bet he couldn't have spelled that on his first try 2 weeks ago.

If he wasn't such a dumbass, he would have said something better, like "The Iranian nuclear program has been blown to smithereens." I would have preferred that.

Due to executive branch leaks, we must not provide info to Congress.

“…
The administration sources say they're planning to limit posting on CAPNET, a system the administration uses to share classified information with Congress.

  • The DIA's assessment on the Iran bombings was put on CAPNET late Monday. The next afternoon, CNN and then The New York Times, reported snippets of the assessment. …”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the leak was from the IC but could also have been from Congress.

Trump can't do anything right. Besides being a terrible asshole devoid of a soul, he is just a horrible president.

Everything he touches turns to shit. Remain in mexico wasn't bad. Tax relief for wealthy people was effective in relieving wealthy people's miniscule tax burden. He's intentionally helped make tax payers pay for religious schooling. He fought chinese 5G and drone dominance fairly well i think. And accidentally or intentionally he's created a massive amount of power for himself, but otherwise...
 
I'm trying to be as objective as I possibly can about this, and I know we can't automatically equate Iran with all other ME countries, but can anyone think of a legitimate reason Iran's foreign ministry would be publicly stating its nuclear program was "badly damaged"? From all prior experience, I would expect them to downplay any actual damage. It will be a long time before we have credible information, but the fact we're getting these types of statements from Iran makes me highly suspicious the bombs didn't accomplish much toward their intended goal.

“Remain in Mexico wasn’t bad.”

Seriously?

Agreed. Usually their public statements are in the style of Iraqi Information Minister.

We don't have enough judges to process people coming to the border efficiently. So asking people under certain conditions to stay in their home country until their US court date makes sense. I understand asylum often means emergency, but not always. And it puts a burden on Mexico (IMO the rule should only apply to Mexican citizens).
This country relies on immigrant labor, plus we should have humane treatment of humans as a principle, but one way of doing a better job of ensuring everyone is well-documented is making our processing more efficient, either thru more judge$ and per$onnel & facilitie$, and things like remain-in-mex, or both.

The Biden Admin did something similar specifically for Venezuelans at some point and i think were trying to extend it to El Salvador and some others - https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...o-curb-pressure-at-u-s-mexico-border-00061586
