“Wow, that’s just a brilliant strategic move. Would you like me to send the order?”

Publishing my normal Sunday polling article early (for obvious reasons):

Trump starts a war with Iran that few Americans support.

Overall support for Trump in early post-strike polling is below that for Afghanistan and Iraq, including among Republicans.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

You can even make a case for "Iranian state collapse and civil war is better than a nuclear Iran murdering tens of thousands in the streets at home and backing Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine" but you actually have to fucking make the case and plan for that outcome.

And they ain't doing either.

Was this before or after Vance admitted to making up the story about Haitian immigrants eating pets on CNN?

Here's the thing, at no point did Greenwald actually believe Trump was an honest person.

Whatever his motivations were for going along with the premise, he was certainly smart enough to realize the likelihood of Trump being full of shit was very high.

The whole thing. Ban all of it!

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

How is Trump of all people somehow immune to the fog of war?

are we 100% sure he's not the antichrist

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran.

Actually I'd mention that I was really surprised by Denmark, of all people, considering what's been going on. Very, uh, not attempting to be skeptical of US aims in the Middle East.

Voting is a fucking responsibility like everything else an adult fucking human being has to do. You are not a fucking child.

The doors of the temple of Janus were closed from 2021-2024, and that's about it.

jesus christ

Can we finally retire "forever war" now?

Please and thank you.

Not super thrilled about traveling the next few weeks.

This could turn completely disastrous if responsible adults were running things. Responsible adults are not running things.

I will never understand this evil desire to lie and justify killing children

So far Trump has been very lucky in his military adventures - he lost military assets and wasted high-tech ammo, but no serious casualties.

Since the GOP-controlled Congress refuses to rein him in, he'll keep starting new military adventures until one of them goes sideways and many Americans die.

disappointed that this scorpion has betrayed his base of frogs.

how many supremacist leaders do I have to kill in the Middle East before they give me that fucking peace prize

...we are governed by imbeciles

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.
