Parts of the world are burning, we have a moron in charge, and costs keep going up. We all need our distractions at times, and British panel shows are one of mine. Since "Have I Got News for You" is in between seasons, I've been enjoying the reboot of "Mock the Week."

Trump’s Orwellian Board of Peace Consists Entirely of Human Rights Abusers An Intercept analysis finds that every single Board of Peace member state has been rebuked for human rights violations.

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.

He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

“So called international organizations…no stupid rules of engagement.” We are a rogue murder state now, and positively proud of it.

That sound you hear is irony dying.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

No War With Iran

We strongly condemn the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. We mourn the lives already lost as a result of these unlawful and reckless attacks – including at least 40 school children killed in Minab.

We hold in the Light all those who now fear what comes next and call for an immediate end to strikes.

Iran is an bad actor on the world stage—and it would be better if it were a democracy. The same can be said of Russia, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries no Trump fan wants us to invade and send our troops to die in.

Never apologize for opposing this war.

JUST IN: Ali Khamenei Reportedly Dead, Body Found in Ruins Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead and his body has been recovered from his palace, according to N12 News' Amit Segal.

Assuming this is true, I won't shed a tear for Khamenei. But this makes him a martyr to some, and it opens an entirely new Pandora's box for the future of Iran and the Middle East. Regime changes in that region haven't gone well for the U.S. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Stephen Miller in 2024:

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

Quaker Lobby Condemns Attacks on Iran and Calls for Deescalation, Diplomacy, and Congressional Action | Friends Committee On National Legislation Washington, D.C. – The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) strongly condemns the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the dangerous pursuit of a war of regime change.

With this immoral and horrifying war, President Trump violated the Constitution and is endangering millions of people across the Middle East, including tens of thousands of U.S. service members.

Congress must reassert its authority and immediately pass resolutions to stop this disastrous war.

This aged well. Note the author.

For Trump, the Iran Attack Is the Ultimate War of Choice

“Mr. Trump did not spend months building a case for war. He never presented evidence of an imminent threat, or answered the question of why a nuclear program he claimed he had “obliterated” eight months ago was now on the brink of revival.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Explosions heard in northern Israel as country works to intercept incoming Iranian missiles.

Israel has now killed more journalists than any other government since the Committee to Project Journalists began collecting records in 1992.

Good night. Not sure what else to say right now, so I'll leave you with this, a classic Clash song I was listening to just the other day ... youtu.be/0Sx1nZ3ARmI?...

Trump, in his statement, surprisingly tells the truth and says U.S. military members may be killed. Is this really worth it?

Also, what happened to "no more forever wars to cause regime change"?

I'm very tired of all this. I can't imagine how this feels in Iran and the rest of the Middle East.

Amen to all of this.

Welp, we all suspected it was coming, no matter how bad an idea this is. Prayers for innocent Iranians now living under bombardments ...

A couple things here:

1> What's up w/ Linda Cohn? As a longtime Leafs fan (I was rooting for them before Seattle got the Kraken), I'm not happy at all with what Matthews did. Why's she defending him?

2> I agree with much of Olbermann's politics, but he makes it very hard to defend his behavior.

Confused Trump Says the Civil War and Reconstruction Were the Same Thing: ‘A Fancy Way of Saying the Civil War’ President Donald Trump botched 19th-century U.S. history on Friday, telling a crowd of supporters that the Civil War and Reconstruction were the same thing.

I don’t know how much less surprised I could be that Trump isn’t familiar with Reconstruction.

BTW, the drone we embarrassingly shot down at the border costs $30 million. Tell me again how lunch for school children is too expensive.
