A decade ago, Trump pushed out an ad that Obama would start a war with Iran because he was weak, ineffectual, and terrible. Fast forward to 2026, and...yeah, it was all projection. Shocker.

OT: Woke up today feeling...not awful, but not great. Kinda sore, with an ache in my right thigh. So getting out was just not really going to happen today. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing--I'm listening to my body. The good news is, after an afternoon spent stretched out in bed, I was able to get up and do a little bit of stuff around the apartment. And I'm watching one of my favorite sci-fi/horror films, Event Horizon. (I love Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill. Morpheus and Dr. Alan Grant ON A SPACESHIP!)

I'd be ineligible for the draft if one was implemented, but I still fear and feel somewhat sick that we are again at war, despite the only people who can declare war is Congress with its lickspittle House "majority."

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Republican congresswoman from Georgia, has denounced the attack on Iran by the United States and Israel as a betrayal of Donald Trumpโ€™s MAGA movement in a series of social media posts on Saturday.

โ€œI did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!โ€ Greene wrote in one post, which included video of a ruined school, where dozens of children were killed in a strike according to Iranian authorities.

Greene, who broke with the president and resigned over her support for a law that required the justice department to release files from the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender Trump socialized with for nearly two decades, also posted a longer statement denouncing the attack on X, illustrated by a screenshot of a Republican campaign plea from 2024 urging voters to โ€œVote the pro-peace ticket. Vote Trump-Vanceโ€. [Guardian]

As a Texan, Crockett was my pick. But Iโ€™ll vote for whichever Democrat wins the primary.

That said, Iโ€™ve been trying to kick that football in statewide races for decades. Decades. My back hurts.

I'm trying to figure my shit out, build a life that is more than just existing but, I don't know what would make me happy because I've never been happy; and I don't seem to have the willpower to effect meaningful change.

Trump is playing "Overthrowing Countries GO".

"Gotta collect them all." . . .

Okay, the Ladies are all back in the coop, and I am going to go flop face down on an interior undetermined surface and drool unconsciously while my arm throbs, feel sorry for me, no one has ever suffered the agony that I endure, just in order to undermine RFK Jr.

Think Trump will shut up now about that damn Nobel Peace Prize?

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Hey, when he makes peace with Iran, that'll be nine wars he's ended!

Winning!

ciaobella's avatar

He will not shut the fuck up until he is dead. And even then, he'll expel his final dying gasp to say something vile and stupid.

ciaobella's avatar

And then, even if you press on the bloated distended stomach of his corpse, a sound like "quiet, nasty piggy" will come out of the corpse's mouth.

Ari, turning that off now. Rachel will be on at 9.

BillEGoatSmile's avatar

Ari is on mute, as usual.

Hopefully moar of the A-team appears from 7:00-9:00. But I'm inclined to watch the movie tonight and get a break.

ciaobella's avatar

Rachel doing special coverage tonight? How did you find that?

BosGrl's avatar

Thank Godess!

I'm watching her recorded from this afternoon. The news has changed a little, but she has the best insights.
