Court in Arkansas blocked use of lethal injection drug for the upcoming mass execution. I don't know if it blocks all planned 8 in 10 days, but it's a start.

This idiot is going to get us killed.

Some days it sure feels like that. The unpredictability gets me very jumpy. Feels like he's chasing polls with bombs.

It works. There's a genuine blood lust and lack of humanity with the Brantt types who want to see a bunch of poor civilians incinerated.

The good news is that North Korea probably don't have nukes that can reach the US, so they would only obliterate South Korea, Japan, etc.

It's the only thing that's gotten him universal praise so far. On top of which he's surrounded by warhawks and probably owns stocks in numerous weapons manufacturers. He's going to keep bombing

Would be cool if a single elected R gave anything resembling a shit about how much this admin is breaking rules and doing extremely shady shit

Bus carrying people fleeing Syrian city bombed today. 40ish dead.

Don't let this NK stuff distract you.

how many fronts could we conceivably manage without going completely broke?

so Jong- Un's latest missile "accidentally" blew up on the launch pad.

Good to learn that, when we choose to, we can blow them up before they get off the ground.

love the numbskulls declaring drumpf's poo-throwing "sends a clear message", which of course none of his apologists can articulate.


So I'll help them attempt it.

"We have bombs and - look out! - we'll blow them up".

Not actually a policy, or even a message, but that's actually the policy message.

but didn't they call trump's bluff by even attempting to fire the test missile? And we did nothing because (according to us) it was "unsuccessful"?

see, you're not reading between the lines

Democracy seems to be officially dead in Turkey.

It's amazing what happens when the entire press is essentially run by you, you arrest thousands of dissenters, stuff ballot boxes and still barely win.

There will be more arrests.

all he has to do is tighten the noose now.

Republicans taking notes.

Some talking head named General Tata making the rounds promoting the message that Trump has to deal with the Obama mess of disinterest in foreign policy. I just do not grasp how this is the state of the state to say it with authority with no connection to fact or truth.
