And we all know that the total with destroyed bases and equipment is far far higher than that.
U.S. military officials estimate that the Trump administration’s war with Iran has cost more than $47 billion through mid-October, a rise of more than $3 billion over the past several weeks, according to a document reviewed by The Post. wapo.st/4idRYlG

He's so toast, he thinks being able to tell what a snake is "highly respected and very hard" Good lord America.
Trump: "They have a lion, a bear, a snake, and a camel. They say, 'Which one is the snake?' That's question one ... it's a very highly respected test ... very hard."

Abdul El-Sayed: “The worst of the Big Ugly Bill hasn’t even hit yet. They knew it would be so disastrous to working people that they didn’t actually make it take effect until after the midterms. In January, Medicaid cuts, ACA subsidy cuts, all of that is gonna get worse. It’s about to be a nuclear bomb that goes off on our healthcare system”

Getting corporate socialism while they fire workers.
Trump promised his $920 billion corporate tax break would create jobs. Another lie. Amazon Tax break: $17.5 billion Job cuts: 30,000 Meta Tax break: $13.7 billion Job cuts: 10,000 Verizon Tax break: $2.5 billion Job cuts: 15,000 UPS Tax break: $130 million Job cuts: 78,000

Flávio Bolsonaro is a foreign national under criminal investigation. Rubio is colluding with him to evade justice. Cowardly fascists and authoritarian thugs used to flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia to escape accountability. This administration welcomes them to America. Disgusting.
Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have landed in Miami after fleeing his country. This comes a day after they were granted United States visas by the Trump administration.

Yep… US is now the Russia of the Americas.
Flávio Bolsonaro declared himself the country's “true president-elect,” alleging widespread electoral fraud and accusing Lula and the Supreme Court of "stealing" the election. In a statement issued from the U.S., Bolsonaro said he had left Brazil with his family over fears of political persecution and vowed to lead the opposition from abroad. He thanked Trump for providing refuge and called on the international community not to "normalize" what he described as an "authoritarian regime" in Brazil.

I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.

Even when they win now, right-wing parties are going to claim fraud. This is honestly despicable behavior. This is happening all over the world now.
BREAKING: Netanyahu's Likud officially claims Israel's election was completely stolen by Arab parties through widespread electoral fraud, alleging bribery, intimidation, violence, double voting and ballot manipulation. Netanyahu says he is submitting hundreds of testimonies to the police, Shin Bet and the Central Elections Committee and demanding an immediate investigation. With more than 93% counted, Netanyahu's bloc stands at 53 seats and Eisenkot's at 48. Neither reaches the 61 needed to govern. It comes as Trump allies continue to discuss keeping Netanyahu on as caretaker prime minister, restart the Iran war and seek to force another vote.

So the "peace talks" are just a cover for the business negotiations
NEW!! U.S. and Russian teams have discussed a sweeping slate of potential energy and commercial deals, including Russian diesel sales, Lukoil’s overseas assets and a possible revival of Nord Stream gas flows to Europe, two U.S. officials informed about the talks told me 1/2

Trump establishes a cult of personality, goes senile, becomes gay, and now Republicans all have to become gay too. Maybe it was always going to end up like this.
Senate Majority @LeaderJohnThune (R-SD) calls Sen Bernie Moreno (R-OH) "eye candy" in response to the attention Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) has been receiving: "They both got it going on when it comes to that."

The idea that fascists are fleeing to the US to escape justice says a lot about where we are right now.

America’s turn to become the new Russia is now complete. Leaders now fleeing justice in their home country go to America instead of Russia.

This is 255 seconds of the US President speaking in explicitly homoerotic terms—including simulated fellatio and ass-grabbing—about a candidate for Senate. It’s difficult to watch—like a car accident. Try and read it. “I said, wait a minute. You got to be kidding. He's like, very quiet. And I never really looked at him because it's never been my thing to look at men, but I like men, but I've never been particularly attracted. Sorry. And what I do is I call like, I'm going to call Ken up, say a couple of words and he'll say a couple of words. So I called John up and again, John Gruden just, in fact, he said something that was amazing because he's such a fine man. John used that is as the Senator, but he's running for reelection against a real sleazebag who got thrown out years ago, defeated by Bernie Marino, who's a great Senator, but he was defeated. So he was thrown and now he's running again against John. And I called John up, but John Gruden said one thing that got me and I couldn't believe it because you know, it's such a high quality person. He said in the football games, he would rip people's heads off when he tackled them. He was so tough. He would just, I said, was he the best? He said he was the best player on the team. And that's why I'm here. I was surprised to see him. I said, what do you do there? I'm here to be with my teammate. John Husted. He said, yeah, he was the best. He was an all American. And a few people understood that when I started talking about him, guy shot. He was an all American, sir. And so, but he was, he's a humble guy. So he didn't talk about it. So I brought him up and he started speaking. Thank you very much. Very much. And you know, he said a few words and I was standing right here and I'm studying him because John Gruden is a great coach. One of the best said that this guy's one of the best players he's ever been associated with. Best player on a championship team, all America. And I never knew he even played football. So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just want to say. And then I looked at his feet and they were massive. Then I looked at his hands, see these hands. He's a nice head. They're fine. He had fingers like sausages. I looked at his hands. I said, look at it guys. And then I patted him on the shoulder. I said, great job, John. He said a few words. I said, great job. And I hurt my hand. It was like I was hitting steel, but I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience and the audience loved it. By the way, he went up 12 points that day. He went from being down to being up. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is going to qualify. I'm going to do it with Ken. No, but I would say so what happens is so John leaves. I told us everybody had fun, you know, but the people appreciate it because they didn't know. A lot of them didn't know. 95% didn't know. And the fake news did it to me. They only covered the ass part. They said, they said, this is news cable freaks. And I think ABC fake news, one of the worst. And they said, what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? What, what's his problem? What's why is he doing this? And I explained it. He was talking about his ass and his feet. What was he doing? You know what I was in and they know, but they actually had me and they'd only say I studied his ass after that. It was to see where the power came from because he was a violent tackler anyway, but they did it to me beautifully. That's no different than walking into walls and saying, Oh, my wife said, Oh my, are you okay, darling? So no, they're fake news. That's why I came up with that term. That was my term. We have a lot of good terms. I could give you a lot of them. Pocahontas.”

Marco Rubio leading Flávio Bolsonaro's escape is the biggest receipt that the US was interfering in the Brazilian’s elections.
