+ There’s always a Trump quote...

+ The Democrats never made a case for not attacking Iran. At best, they meekly criticized Trump’s lack of following a proper process for attacking Iran and he just ignored them. They didn’t defend one of the best things Obama did, the Iran nuclear deal. Biden had four years to reinstate the deal. Instead, he backed Israel’s genocide in Gaza and attacks Iranian allies in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. The consequences of this war are as much on them as on Trump….

+ Right on cue: Sen. Tammy Duckworth: “I’m glad that Khamenei is dead … My problem with this whole thing is how President Trump has gone about doing this.”

+ During her campaign, Kamala Harris fingered Iran as the US’s most dangerous enemy. She offered as little evidence for this assertion as Trump did for his war.

+  Even Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney were smart enough not to go to war with Israel…In fact, Bush I and Bush II deliberately kept Israel from attacking Iraq in both Gulf Wars.

+ China and Russia saw this coming and did about as much to avert it as the Democrats. Which is nothing. So much for the multi-polar world as a deterrent to US aggression. 

B’Tselem cautions: Once again, as international attention shifts to the attacks in Iran, Israel will seize the opportunity to escalate violence, advance ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and intensify its genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip.

+ The FIFA peace president has now attacked 7 different countries in slightly more than a year into his second term.

+ There’s always a quote...

+ With Liz Cheney apparently unavailable to give the Democratic response to Trump, party leaders turned to the newly elected governor of Virginia, April Spanberger, who introduced herself to the country by saying, “After my career in law enforcement, I continued my service in the CIA…”
