The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
Interestingly this piece seems to have touched a chord. Just got an email from a Canadian who basically says the United States has become irredeemable in her eyes, and not just because of the deranged attacks on Canada; also Trump's corruption and US wars abroad. It's hard to disagree with her.

It wasnβt long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and heβs doing it all without Congressional approval.
The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.
