It strikes me as entirely plausible that DJT moved forward with this bombing in the hopes there is a terrorist response within the US. Nothing quite like a terror attack, and a big-boy-with-missles response, to boost one's approval numbers.

Well, Stephen Miller might be thinking that and encouraging him. Trump canтАЩt think more than an hour ahead in time according to Maggie Haberman, and I believe her.

It's always darkest before the dawn, so either this is as bad as it gets or it's not? :)

Re: martial law, that's been the [weirdly noticeable] subtext for awhile. He will always choose conflict and chaos. He's like an evil king who has people tortured to entertain him. Think Joffrey from Game of Thrones, but dumber. And looking more like a melted orange candle (that one's for my b*tchy queens).

My biggest concern is that there are terrorist attacks within the U.S., could be organized Iranian attacks, or lone wolfs, or even false flag attacks. And that provides a justification for Dump to declare Martial law and postpone the election!
