ANALYSIS With Threat to Wipe Out Iran's Civilization, Trump's Language Went Beyond Bluster Even if the president does not carry out his threat, his violent rhetoric risks damaging his credibility as a negotiator and the country's standing in the world. 5 MIN READ
I am being told that Donald Trump’s credibility may be at risk. Possibly. As unlikely as it seems.
NYT headline about deadline nearing for Trump’s promise to “wipe out a civilization” is in small type
I would have thought this headline might deserve a larger type size.
(The one on the left, I mean.)
"We're happy the president has accepted our invitation and look forward to hosting him."
Sen. Elissa Slotkin is one of the former military/intel lawmakers who infuriated Trump last year by making a video urging U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.
Today, as Trump vows genocide in Iran, Slotkin says that video was made for "moments like these." www.huffpost.com/entry/elissa...
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
today sure feels like one of the all time ‘so i still just gotta go and do my little job during all this?!’ moments
I think an error people make is that Trump never facing consequences is not a thing that extends to the people around him. He may never pay for his actions but that aura doesn’t cover anyone else, supporter or opponent
President Donald Trump appointed industry titans including Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreessen, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang to a new presidential technology council that will focus on AI policy and other science-related issues
If I was a member of the cabinet or Congress. I would be asking myself what I would say to my grandchildren when they asked, “what did you do when the president of the United States threatened to destroy a whole civilization?”
Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
He always talks about America as if we're just another nightclub in Manhattan.

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:
It has a built-in outliner, tools for working with research materials such as interview transcripts, an automatic distraction-free editing mode, a timer, foolproof cut-and-paste into WordPress, and other stuff I need. And nothing I don’t.
Trump with Melania standing directly next to him: "It was a big thing to our great First Lady, who's here someplace. Let's see. I think this is our First Lady."
I vibe-coded my own word processor, and it feels like I write ~20% faster when I use it—even though the words all remain mine—just because it’s tuned for the work I do. Seems more and more obvious that AI’s place in journalism is not writing stuff, but helping journalists work more efficiently.
Cancel it.
There is a reason this leaked with days to go to WHCD and that is because the embarrassment meter is off the charts
And we are lucky enough to have a handful of the roughly comparable Foster’s Freeze locations.
Wow! Out here, we can get Tastee-Freez products at Der Wienerschnitzel, and I am ashamed to admit I have never taken advantage of that opportunity.
Forget about the attire.
No one with an ounce of self respect should show up.

Every news source needs to publicize what Trump actually said. Not sane-washing.
Here is how CNN did it just now.
Meta AI suggests turning a carton of Bob a Dylan into a cartoon
Even more than most AI companies, Meta has never explained why it cares about the technology or how it will improve the world. So far, it’s damaged the company’s properties tremendously.

Happy Easter. (1970s egg decorated by my mother.)
The President of the U.S. The man with the nuclear codes. And people are just going to pretend this is ok.
In a functioning society, he would be removed from office within hours by his own party.
