More Pointless Death

We’re all waking up to find that Israel and the US have launched a joint attack on Iran for whatever reason. I mean, the overall reason is that Iran is our enemy, just as Venezuela was. But, despite whatever Trump says in either case, there was no imminent threat from those countries.

Trump has released a video where he said that there’s a good chance that some of our military will die, so I guess he thinks this will go on for a few days. Trump never really gave a shit about war one way or another — he just knows that coffins coming home are bad for the ratings of the Donald Trump show, so it’s an interesting peek into his current violent whim to hear him say that.

It will be interesting to see whether he’ll get the usual DC media tongue bath for blowing shit up. I’m guessing it will be a little restrained since this is so obviously a war on a whim by two leaders who are in big legal and political trouble in their home countries.

Congress, who once again had one of their powers usurped by Trump, won’t do anything because Republicans are fine with this, and a certain group of Democrats don’t mind it either. I believe those Democrats are led by Schumer.

The Epstein files will still be here after this is done. Obligatory:
