I think it's so such more than that. Deep insecurity aside,Trump is by all medically professional evaluation a deeply unhinged sociopath. For 40 years now, possibly his whole life, he's been itching to murder indiscriminately in his name. Now unrestrained, he's free to do so however he likes.

Fantastic song written by the great Billy Vera.
Barry & The Remains were, IMHO, Boston's best band.
Were the support band for the Beatles '66 tour too,
so there's that.😎

Zerlegte Ikonenmaschine aus Linien, Augen und Schaltkreisen. Ein Priester-Automat im Zentrum, Gesicht wie ein Messinstrument, beobachtet von hundert kleinen Orakeln. Diagramme beten, Symbole flüstern Daten. Ritual oder Interface — derselbe Code in anderem Gewand. Goldene Stille, archivierte Offenbarung.

The great Atlanta musician whose funky guitar playing and raspy deep soul vocals should be enough to convince he's a great lost soul treasure. Nice instrumental take of the Beatles classic.

The Spiders — Day Tripper [Japan, pop rock] (68) Joe Cocker, please step aside. Richie Havens, please sit down. Noel and Liam, please get outta here and bicker somewhere else. Elton, stage left (Happy birthday, though!). This is the greatest Beatles cover ever! See the story at link in comments.

The Dangerous Incoherence of Trump’s War With Iran The president doesn’t have a clear goal in Iran but thinks he can end the war before that becomes a problem. But the problem is: He can’t.

It’s a foreign policy of reckless action and spectacular violence—and no clear strategic objectives beyond creating content for social media. trib.al/FD0H0zp

It either enlightened or ruined for life, however you want to look at it.🌟

“There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except it’s ending.”

~ Abraham Lincoln

“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Reported US-Israeli strike hits a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran. Over 100 children dead. And the usual “we only hit military targets” script rolls on. If you’re still swallowing that PR, you’re the product. No euphemisms: this is slaughter.

"They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future," Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai said. "Today, their lives were brutally cut short.”

In NYC, everyone knows, when the U.S. starts another war, people protest by marching to Times Square which has a U.S. Army recruiting station at the center.

This is today at "Stop War on Iran" march.
