I wasn't sure where to post this. It sounds like the US is about to go to war against Iran:

oh great... Though I don't view Iran as a good faith actor in the region, I really don't want another big war in the Middle East.

No worries! This one almost certainly won't be limited to the Middle East. 👍

About that phone?

I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount
I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment, hoping to test the phone to see what apps come pre-installed, how secure it really is, and what components it includes when it comes out. The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.
The worst experience he's ever faced buying a consumer electronic product? Apparently he's never bought something off Ali Express.

Just another fraud and grifter looking for the reins of power.

Trump’s FAA pick has claimed ‘commercial’ pilot license he doesn’t have
President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration long described himself in his official biography as being certified to fly aircraft commercially — but records examined by POLITICO show that he does not hold any commercial license.

Bryan Bedford’s biography at Republic Airways, the regional airline where he has been CEO since 1999, said until Thursday that he “holds commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings.” (By Friday, after POLITICO’s inquiries, the word “commercial” had been removed.) The FAA registry that houses data on pilot’s licenses does not list any such commercial credentials for Bedford.

The $499 Trump-branded smart phone

At this point, the old rules about avoiding conflicts of interest are just a complete joke. This should be talked about more since there is NO WAY Republicans would have let this go if it was a democrat who had their own phone brand and tons of other bullshit.

I think all the -- well, for want of a better term, idiocy -- is seen as "being strong" and "tellin' it like it is."

Most of the world is disgusted with us? That's good! That means we're Being Strong (tm)! Trump is grifting in some outrageous way? See, man, he doesn't take any crap from anybody! He's stickin' it to the libs, haw haw haw!
