Isn’t this what Christian Nationalists want? There is a correlation here. The fact that Israel is part of this must have something to do with their desire to destroy Muslims. To take over the region so Jesus can come back. I’m not a Christian, so I’m just asking.🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah, Jesus wants to put up some condos there!

That's a bit of history I was unaware of , especially the part about the American involvement in overthrowing a democratic government because their ideas didn't line up with America's wealth “morality”.

The Ayatollahs should have offered a Trump hotel for Teheran. And perhaps bought some Trump crypto.

So true... However, the ears/eyes that really need to see this are mostly deaf/blind to most of it...

This all reeks of an attempt to speed up the timeline to the rapture. Why are christian nat’l-ists in such a big fat hurry to see the second coming?

Trump=evil, a dark pit of nothingness, a hollow shell, devoid of any humanity whatsoever and he goes so far to line his pockets🛢️while we pay more for everything and now more for gas, he rips away with his parties full blessing, so don't believe otherwise, peoples healthcare and so much more, like the ICE Gesatapo murderers

That will never happen in anyone's lifetime.

Because they think we will be left behind in the toxic stew they are making of the planet. While they delusionally believe a zombie jesus will whisk them off to heaven. It's pure hate and malice, with a side of superiority. But ultimately certifiable in the end.

When Hegseth uses "warfighters," it takes my head directly to the Gravity Falls video game "Fight Fighters" whose characters come alive to beat the shit out of whoever you tell them to. And that is 100% how I picture our Defensive Secretary. Every time.

It's a child's vocabulary, like before they learn there are actual words for things like "veterans".

Thank you for your laser clarity on the national origins and nutmeg actions of current affairs. If the oil people want high prices because we were managing the cost, this is what they want. Strait of Hormuz closed, good. Jack up the cost of a tankful!

We are slaves to the corps; you know he could t have done this without Koch, Chevron, etc. they own him.

Indeed, the oil barons with Trump at his Mar Lago, he invited the oil cartel CEO's and said to them, you give me a billion dollars and I will undo all of Bidens green energy and jobs program as part of Build Back Better, he is in their pockets, so the fix is in, we pay more as a result for energy and we and the earths enviornment are made to suffer.

This man, is diabolicaly evil, a dark pit with zero humanity

Jared Kushner wandering around peace talks like he’s the assistant TO THE manager of Planet Earth!

An unnecessary war of incompetence has already killed four U.S. servicemen/women and downed three F-16’s by friendly fire. God help us!

Where are the small government, America First conservatives when we need them?

A fantasy, like they always were

Excellent summary. Just need to edit the year 20205? Maybe I missed the point. But an informative, true, report. Thank you.

Dear John,

Great piece as always.

Well put here: "You don’t defend democracy by ignoring Congress, blacking out any public explanation, killing people with no plan for what happens next, and letting FOX do the rest."

Thank you for sharing!

Love

Trump is operating like a runaway golf cart trying to avoid sand traps, lest a rigged bomb will go off under his seat. (Remember that movie - Speed?) All because Epstein is closing in on him, tariffs have become problematic, and Canada is out-performing him in sophisticated statesmanship.

I think we’re in for a ride!

Thank you for giving voice in such a trenchant way to my fury and horror.
