Pressed for answers on Iran, Trump is betrayed by his limited attention span β€” MS NOW Monday offered the president an opportunity to explain and justify the war he’d started. He appeared far more interested in the White House decor.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

That's how it works. Before the other person responds they change the subject. Or, accuse them of something unrelated. They flood the zone and call it a discussion or debate.

Republicans use Iran strikes to pressure Dems in DHS funding fight β€” POLITICO GOP lawmakers argue that homeland security should be prioritized over partisan squabbles as the threat of Iranian attacks rises.
