That’s what Neil says. β€˜It keeps my neck warm.’ I said, β€˜so wear a scarf,’ to which he replied indignantly, β€˜I’m not FRENCH.’

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

I agree. There is an age limit on when men can wear Hoodies. @jk_rowling I think there is a book in this somewhere

I didn't get to vote in the poll. Hooded cloaks need a fashion comeback.

It is possible that a good friend, hearing of my strong personal views on hoodies for middle-aged men, bought not only my husband but every member of the friend's and my own family identical hoodies, which they all wore to lunch. And they made me wear one.

Wrong. This was a full and fair vote. It's now legally binding and you are required to buy everyone a hoodie.

I would like to remind the two members of my immediate family who voted against me in this poll that this was an unofficial, non-legally binding referendum, conducted under duress. In fact, I suspect vote tampering.

The presidency of the United States is an office, not a throne. Today, the American people sent an unmistakable message to the wannabe king with the largest single day protests in American history β€” 'No Kings.' πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺπŸ‘βœŠοΈπŸ‘‡

12% of Americans are in favor. The GOP committing suicide in real time.

πŸ’€πŸ’° The Blood Is The Money. The Money Is The Blood. Let me tell you what just happened to your country and to the world. Because someone needs to say it plainly. They lied. About everything. β€œA short excursion.” Thirteen Americans are dead. β€œNo ground troops.” The Pentagon is now preparing weeks of ground operations in Iran. β€œThe war is very complete.” Hormuz has been closed for 27 days. β€œProductive discussions.” Iran says they never happened. β€œVery very temporary.” Consumer confidence just dropped below the 2008 financial crisis. Every single statement this administration made was the exact opposite of what followed. And behind every single lie, someone got paid. March 23rd. The bond market is cracking. Fourteen minutes before Trump posted about β€œproductive conversations” that Iran says were invented, someone bought $1.5 billion in S&P futures and sold $580 million in oil futures. By 7:10 AM, $60 million in profit. The Financial Times documented it. Bloomberg confirmed it. Senator Murphy asked what every American should be asking: β€œWho was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?” Nobody answered. Nobody ever will. Because the people who are supposed to investigate work for the same people who are getting rich. They lied to the American people to enrich themselves. They sent other people’s children to die so that a handful of men could profit from the chaos. They broke the global economy, $5.2 trillion erased from the markets, $52 billion fleeing Asia in a single month, famine approaching, and somewhere inside that circle someone is counting money while families are counting coffins. And now, because every lie failed and every improvisation collapsed, they are sending ground troops into Iran. Not because there is a plan. There was never a plan. There was an assassination, then a hope, then a closed strait, then a panic, then a fake peace announcement, then a pause, then another pause, and now boots on the ground because there is nothing left to try. This is what it looks like when a nation is looted from the inside. Not by a foreign enemy. By its own president and the people around him. They turned a war into a trading desk, soldiers into expendable inputs, and presidential lies into buy signals for those close enough to hear them first. This is pure evil. This does not scare Trump. This IS Trump.

Mark Levin's program tonight, touted by President Trump on social media, aired as we published a @washingtonpost story stating that the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of U.S. ground operations in Iran. Levin makes the case here for ground ops. x.com/i/status/2038048989581…

Mar 29
Levin: No troops on the groundβ€”I don’t remember that in any campaign speech. Why would we need to troops on the ground? There’s a lot of reasons.

In response to questions for this story, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a statement: β€œIt’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality. It does not mean the President has made a decision.”

One person said that the objectives under consideration would probably take β€œweeks, not months” to complete. Another put the potential timeline at β€œa couple of months.”

This follows reporting a couple of days ago from Axios indicating that the Pentagon is preparing a β€œfinal blow” against Iran that could include both ground forces and a massive bombing campaign.

SCOOP: The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.
