"Who told tormorrow Tuesdays dead?"
~Steven Georgiou
OK, folks…let's get real here.
There is one reason, and one reason alone, our armed forces carried out such a marginally useful, very expensive, attack at a premature time.
Dear Leader is desperate for his Nobel Peace Prize. He wants it now. He has brought about an end to the war in the Mideast…amirite? What are they waiting for?
The announcements of this year’s Orwell War-is-Peace awards??
(What with always mighty perennial favorites Bibi and Pootsie, and a very strong field of eastern division contenders: Un, Jinping, Modi and Sharif, try as he might TACO Donnie might not even get a measly thank-you participation ribbon.)
Sorry for the downtime, we got clobbered by [insert foreign boogeyman here] again.
You're in good(?) company:
Discussion with Robert Roper

This was interesting – he wants TABOR in Vermont, I don't want it here.
House Preacher er Speaker Collins cites imaginary experts on Constitutionality of War Powers resolution.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/24/johnson-war-powers-trump-iran.html
Oh, you mean "talking heads on Faux News that are now Constitutional Law experts kind of scholars?"
Going back to when Repubs were suing the Clinton Adminstration have the courts EVER found this resolution to be unconstitutional. So yeah let the RNC waste some lawyer money on THAT…
Sounds like Johnson is now channeling That Idiot; "Many people are saying…"
Yeah, I do find strange that Iran wasn't in on this ceasefire. I guess ol orange F A T T Y was so busy with his "best words" coming form his "best brain" that he forget to phone them and leave a message.
Big Balls has reportedly resigned from the government. Forget about Iran and Ukraine and the bill and the debt – how will the republic survive?
Probably by selling off your personal information.
This week’s
wordsquirrel of the week, about which will now be argued interminably, is: obliterate, obliterate, obliterate.T****: “completely and fully obliterated.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “Based on everything we have seen — and I’ve seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons,”
Karoline Leavitt: “Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”
Well, it looks like maybe T***** can claim to have completely obliterated something anyway — the meaning of the word obliterate has now been removed from recognition or memory of all Administration lackeys. Get out your sharpies, kiddies, from now on it’s known as, The Gulf of Obliterate.

[New from the Ministry of (un-fact-checked) Truth:
Obliterate–close but no ringer (as in horseshoes).]
Karoline Leavitt: “Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”
Well, actually….
The Guardian revealed last Wednesday that top political appointees at the Pentagon had been briefed at the start of Trump’s second term that the 30,000lb “bunker buster” GBU-57 bombs meant to be used on Fordow would not completely destroy the facility.
In that briefing, in January, officials were told by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency at the Pentagon that developed the GBU-57 that the bombs would not penetrate deep enough underground and only a tactical nuclear weapon would wipe out Fordow.
The US strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities involved B2 bombers dropping 12 GBU-57s on Fordow and two GBU-57s on Natanz. A US navy submarine then launched roughly 30 Tomahawk missiles on Isfahan, US defense officials said at a news conference Sunday.

I don't know whether to be more relieved that we aren't ( yet) in World War III, or to be more worried that the leader of the free world is lying about preventing World War III. And he wants the Nobel Peace Prize for bombing a nuclear facility against his own country's constitutional protocols.
To quote from one of my favorite movies, The Princess Bride, "You keep using that word..I do not think it means what you think it means".
Almost makes me long for the return of those much simpler, more innocent Clinton days when the important political semantic arguments were limited to the meaning of what constitutes “having sex” with someone and what “your definition of ‘is’ is.”
