"This would not be the first time that an autocrat has used a war to deflect attention, crack down domestically, and silence dissent. With his domestic agenda hugely unpopular and his legal losses piling up, bombing Iran would be the most dramatic (and dangerous) way to shift gears."

"When Trump announced, via a Saturday evening bleet, that he had bombed Iranian nuclear sites, it put his most vocal fans in a quandary: Should they sacrifice any sense of ideological consistency to keep supporting Trump, or should they try to maintain some sense of self-respect and dignity by criticizing the man around whom they’ve built their careers?"

"A few closing notes from [Dan Rather], who has spent a fair portion of his life covering wars:
Truth IS the first casualty of war.

So far, Chump and Dunce have been trying to define this as a war against Iran's nuclear program, but if they start saying we are at war with Iran, start looking closely at state and local elections.
Multiple times in US history the we have paused elections in time of war and while Chump is not smart enough to make the connection, Dunce will make it.

The image depicts a coastal road that curves along the edge of a steep cliff, with a bridge connecting two sections of the road. The road is paved and appears to be a two-lane highway with vehicles traveling on it. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with vegetation covering the cliffside. The ocean is visible on the left side of the image, with waves crashing against the rocks below. The sky is overcast with clouds, suggesting a cool or temperate climate. The colors in the image are predominantly green from the vegetation, blue from the ocean, and gray from the road and sky. The bridge is a significant feature, with its concrete pillars supporting the roadway above the water. The overall scene is one of a scenic coastal drive, with the road and bridge as the focal points against the natural backdrop.

Nel primo quadrante, un grattacielo verde con grandi occhi è seduto su un oggetto sferico bianco con una finestra nera al centro, simile a un microfono, in un paesaggio di paludi con erbe e foglie di loto.
Nel secondo quadrante, un astronauta con un casco trasparente che riflette il cielo blu è sott'acqua, illuminando la scena con una luce gialla, circondato da pesci neri e un grande stelo.
Nel terzo quadrante, un astronauta con un casco trasparente che riflette il cielo blu è circondato da fiori rossi e insetti, con un grande stelo che si protende verso il casco.
Nel quarto quadrante, un gruppo di robot bianchi con grandi occhi blu e piccole luci verdi si muovono in un'area spaziale, con sfondo viola e nero.
L'immagine combina elementi di natura e tecnologia, creando un'atmosfera fantastica e surreale.
