I’ve been thinking about this all day and it is so Hunger Games to bet on death, with insider trading no less, it’s hard to fathom.

Umm…
This is actually real.

Betting on warfare.
Insider betting no less.
Absolutely soulless.
You frickin’ think so?

Praising military heroes?
Fine.
Making the SOTU an extended applaud-the-military moment when planning an attack on Iran?
That was a choice.

Hey folks:
Heather and I will be beaming in at 11:30 this morning on her Facebook page and YouTube channel, and on my YouTube channel.
See you then!
Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

The government illegally took your money.
They won’t give it back.
Republicans’ only policy is destruction. Say “Republicans.” They voted for this. They could stop this destruction at any time.

Life imitates art.
29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.
