[ad_1] When former FBI Director James Comey used Instagram to share a photo of seashells arranged to form the numerical slogan “86 47” last year, federal prosecutors claim, he was publicly threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump. Yet before Comey posted that picture, Amazon vendors had offered more than 200,000 products featuring that supposedly homicidal phrase or variations on it, including “86 46” (referring to Joe Biden) and “86 45” (referring to Trump during his first term). How many federal law enforcement inquiries did the sale or purchase of those products generate? Zero. In a motion they filed on Tuesday…

[ad_1] Trump’s posture on Iran is getting judged from an unexpected angle, and we dig into why. We react to Tucker Carlson calling Trump “weak” not for avoiding intervention, but for failing to stand up to allies, especially Israel, as the conflict widens. From there, we lay out a clear case for shared responsibility at the top: pressure from partners can be constant, but a US president still decides whether to provide refueling planes, intelligence sharing, maintenance support, and missile defense that make sustained operations possible. We also walk through the memorandum of understanding and why it collapses under two…
