I can't believe anyone is actually floating "This is a game-changer for the midterms." Yeah, if there's one thing we know for sure, it's that nothing much is going to happen between now and November.

So, is Barron Trump signing up for service in #Iran?

Clintons already testified.
He knows he’s next.
Midterms are upon us.
His poll numbers have never been lower.
Of course he’ll unilaterally declare war.

Whatever it takes to thrill the rubes who hanker after their evil antichrist. Trump is not difficult to ferret out. Our big problem is the rube state.

I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.

If trying to interfere with the 2020 election is justification for dropping bombs, I have some thoughts on further targets.

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

A pretty lucid analysis that dismantles many of Trump's arguments for war. Gift link:

The problem with the war in Iraq was that George Bush was an idiot. With the Iran situation, we've got... [checks notes]... oh jesus christ

I know I have been on this since 2015, but this column to this day still annoys me! It wasn’t even true at the time!

The one good thing about being on the other site is finding all these Trump sycophants’ tweets about how Kamala will send you to war and unearthing them now. It’s your civic duty if you’re still on X.

This is an effort by trump and Netanyahu to stay in power and out of prison.

In a school yard, if a bully beats up some other kids but the bully claims they were were *preventative* beatings, it’s common knowledge that makes everything okay

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Israel and the US are aiming at conducting at least four days of intense bombing of Iran. The assassination attempt on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei failed, and he was moved to a secure location. His residence & 30 other locations were struck, including presidential & intelligence buildings.

Yes, people are leaving in droves, including top talent. Sure, ratings are in the toilet, as is the reputation of CBS's news division. Granted, the flagship nightly broadcast is awful. But the thing to remember about Bari Weiss is...actually, I guess that covers it.

Over the years, I’ve seen military students embrace learning from other perspectives and I’ve seen the non-military students embrace learning from their military classmates. It’s a win-win for all.

#1 reason Trump attack on #Iran won't work:
♦️We have no idea what he's even trying to accomplish.

What are the war aims?
-End nuclear program? Trump says it's already "obliterated."
-End ballistic missile program & proxies? Not w/o regime change.
-Regime change? Yeah, that always works out great.

That GOP Rep Trump is congratulating had an affair with one of his staffers.
Who then killed herself.
By setting herself on fire.

There is nothing for which to congratulate him.

Any Democrat in a position of power should oppose this loudly and immediately. Make antitrust laws a campaign issue. Fight it every way imaginable. Do not hand over mass media to a creepy dad-son dyad who want to cozy up to an increasingly loathed president bent on maintaining power illegitimately.

HBO will exist in some form, somehow, I guess, as long as nobody there does anything that is actually about anything real in this country. And all of that is aside from CNN becoming a tool of MAGA alongside CBS; it will take them approximately 12 seconds to capitulate.

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.
