As in the famous message to Louis XVI about the Parisian peasants; nice double entendre on MAGA and the 'revolting'.
Also, and to Trump's most revolting comment from yesterday: Maybe a good time to revisit Genesis' old song 'The Knife'. "Some of you are going to die; martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide". That 1971 song was written as a disgusting parody on an age that we were all sure we'd long since outgrown. But here we are, plunging back into it.
The rationale I have read so far is that Israeli intelligence somehow knew that the Supreme Leader and other high level leaders were meeting, including time and place. Trump bought the argument that there would never be such a chance again against a weakened Iran. The strike apparently proved that. But where was the follow up plan; just like in Venezuela, there was none. The fear of setting off a major war in the Middle East was discounted. So much for that idea. Iran is using the Russian strategy by striking civilians. I knew he was going to do it before Congress could take any action, as if they would. The ultimate insult was hosting a billionaire dinner at Mar-a-Lago when the attacks began. This is a monumental f—k up.
I think it's important to note that MAGAs DON'T SEEM TO CARE about objectives or politics or what the Middle East does. They are uniquely ignorant people, with no knowledge or care for the rest of the world. What they'll notice is the increase in gas prices. It'll be interesting to see how they turn to support this effort, because you know they will.
It’s both startling and telling that Trump butt boys like Tucker are saying that Trump was duped by Israel into attacking Iran. As if Trump is a credulous 5 year old that pretty much anyone can deceive. Oh, wait…
The MAGA were all good when the Libs were crying about this immigrant, that program, or that trans kid.
Not so much when their kids will be coming home in bags. All that recruitment by Hegseth- to make sure he had ‘ maximum lethality’. His dream come true!
This is the favorite device of the NYT-surveying Trump supporters about their opinion of, well, pretty much anything Trump does. As if their slavish devotion is news. Earth to the NYT: Trump’s approval rating is 39% which means die hard MAGA is still with him, even though everyone else, including those Biden to Trump voters are not
Nothing is going to move the die hards. And you’re right about the NYT profiles of trump voters. Today it’s 6 voters on Iran prior to the Texas primary. 🙄I’m no longer interested in what they think.
The Republican votes must show their dipleasure with Trump and his unnecessary war by voting his supporters in congress out of office on Nov. 3, 2026. Remove these Republican Senators:
AK: Dan Sullivan, OH: John Husted, ME: Susan Collins, TX: John Cornyn, NC: OPEN, IA: OPEN.
I’m torn between liberal bleeding heart empathy for newly disillusioned fellow human beings suddenly forced to confront the possibility that DJT was never really who they thought he was.
But then again, he was always obviously exactly who he was. I think some of them kinda knew the truth and quietly liked it. Most of them clearly LOVED who he clearly was but now have to deal with how all their other deep seated paranoias and prejudices might ultimately vindicate them. So for now, I embrace schadenfreude.
"the pundits and podcast hosts who make up his base of support are revolting."
Yes they are, and they always have been. All supporters of this decaying, rouged up, pedopal, convicted sexual predator, convicted fraud, pathologically lying, narcissistic sociopath, serial bankrupt, specimen of humanity who also stinks of ass, according to those around him--all of those supporters are completely revolting.
MAGA is revolting. Its embrace of ignorance, bigotry, intolerance, brutality, endless rage, and self loathing righteousness is totally revolting.
And their various sicko "personalities" are completely revolting.
So it's no wonder that their Supreme Leader has jumped half-assed into a hornet's nest, aided and abetted by the various pod people who made up his administration. Trump's no great thinker, not much of a tactician, except when it comes to playing the press or manipulating his cult.
I hate Trump's war as well, not because I agree with failed ideas like Isolationism, nor do I feel any sorrow for the death of Khamenei, but because it is so half-assed, and because it is so half-assed this action is unlikely to end with a better reality for the Iranian people. Of course, a better reality for the Iranian people doesn't really matter to Trump.
It's more Trump slop. Slop is what Trump does best, like tearing down the East Wing, closing the Kennedy Center, planning gargantuan monuments to his delusional sense of greatness, screwing government response to Covid, feeding Ukraine to Putin, tariffing penguins, raising taxes on the poor and middle class, and generally doing almost nothing right.
Also, let's give a hand to the dimwitted "Conservative" majority in scotus who made up a vague theory of presidential immunity, badly written by Roberts, which has made all of this possible.
I don't know about the MAGA elites and influencers on the antisocial media but the MAGA street is pleased as punch and support anything Trump does. They didn't vote for him for any policies he would or wouldn't do. They voted for him to own the libs and block the Democrats.
The measure of how successful this war is how upset the Democrats and other enemies of Trump become and not anything that happens in Iran.
The Reuters poll showing only 25% support would be the unerodable base that accepts anything he does and readjust to any situation that would otherwise break trust in a normal person. That 25% has been consistent since 2016 and will stay with him till he's dead.
“Initially it was, ‘Bush had the wrong idea,’” Knowles said on his show. <“Now the argument would be, ‘Well, Bush might have had the right idea, but he did it poorly.’”
This idea that the Trump administration, not generally known for its competence, will succeed in a domain where past American administrations have failed has caught on.>
I was no fan of Dubya’s administration and vigorously opposed going to war in Iraq. The people around Bush were capable of walking and chewing gum. And Bush was no genius, but he was brighter than Trump even if Trump wasn’t rapidly sliding into dementia.
And yes, at least the Bush neocons cared enough to spend months lying and spreading propaganda like smoking guns become mushroom clouds.
How much administrative competence is needed to bring the destruction seen in Gaza to scale from a populace of 2 million to a nation of 93million with sufficient malice, a large War budget, the mentoring of Bibi Netanyahu and a competent military.
Just because you can does not mean you should. Perhaps it is time for regime change in the good ol' US of A? T. Rump said regime change is OK- right? At least no one is talking about the Epstein Files now. Nothing to see here, move along.

Screaming at the Blood Moon tonight.
No one’s child should die for Trump.
Will, you missed Mike Johnson utterly failing to meet the moment.
At best, he is scrambling to justify to the military action, in which he had no part, retroactively.
Confirms my long held belief that psychedelics can’t fix an ahole.
These people are crazy

Poor Will Chamberlain. He hasn’t seen that the pertinent facts have not changed: Trump** is an incompetent, cowardly bully.

Seriously, a whole lotta impeachments are needed.
Impeachments AND prison terms
