Arguably it's a literary take - thank you very much.

Impressive - there hasn't been such a visionary leader (as measured strictly by the praise of those in his inner circle) since Nicolae Ceaușescu in early 1989.

Hey, whatever happened to that guy? Does everybody in leadership in Romania still think he's the bee's knees?

Republicans Toil to Avoid Saying ‘War’ as Iran Conflict Widens

Ah . . . I've totally got you. It's not "a war", just an operation, or something like that.

And our goal has gone from needing to bomb because Iran would retaliate against us when Israel attacked, to having regime change, to now unconditional surrender. Stay tuned.

Step 1 - bomb Iran; Step 2 - absorb huge, predictable, supply shocks; Step 3 - panic; Step 4 - see Russia providing detailed guidance to Iran, as Iran's targeting capabilities have been degraded by our attacks; Step 5 - see more of our soldiers killed; Step 6 - reward Russia by unsanctioning them.

Try that with a judge - "My buddy and I walked into a bar. He's very aggressive and I saw that he was about to sucker punch a very muscular patron. Once that punch connected, the guy was sure to come down on both of us hard. So, obviously, I hit the guy with a bottle at the same time. Self-defense."

Rubio forgets that the Venezuela model was not to have different people run it but . . . minus Maduro himself . . . the same people.

They kind of blew up that part of the plan. [Checks notes . . .] Actually, they literally blew up that part of the plan.

Her's is an insane take - part of our massive strikes have been to seriously degrade Iran's ability to target us. Iran has large stocks of ordinance and drones to throw our way but presumably far less ability to fix onto targets (but for Russia's help). This will unquestionably cost American lives.

I now give you the report of the council of economic advisers and the Fed from now until the situation in Iran is resolved.

"Qatar’s energy minister, Saad al-Kaabi, warned that rising oil prices due to the war against Iran “could bring down the economies of the world.”

It takes a good bit of chutzpah to sexually harass a subordinate so badly that they commit suicide by setting themselves on fire, and then to close out your official messaging with "God has a Plan for All of Us".

And mind you, in - say - the Korean and Vietnam Wars - were there lots of people "in the U.S." dying as a result? If a President said that people die in wars before DJT it was deaths "in the theater of operations."

Even his tone deaf answer is far more sinister than most are giving it credit for.

Not weakness necessarily - the message was that "never, ever" take an issue that is being used to rake a Cabinet member over the coals and, if you're that Cabinet member, whip around and say "Trump authorized it."

That and we did a full "Lucy with football" press 8 weeks ago telling those rising up that the U.S. had their backs . . . and did nothing . . . right before thousands more were killed, and many more imprisoned.

We could have done 1/50th in February and toppled the regime by supporting them then.

And it was a very top down structure - artillery devasted Russian soldiers standing in formation during the Battle of Borodino until some officer thought to give them the order to . . . sit down.

A despotic regime misattributing that quote, in particular, to Orwell is extremely meta.

The inability of Congressional Republicans to understand basic concepts - like security, justice, patriotism and in this case "I got your nose", apparently is boundless.
