Computer issues made me late. Apologies. This is pure opinion, no quotes. And it’s LONG. To start, well, getting woken up by my husband to “we are at war” made me scream. What is WRONG with this man? Starting a war with no support from anyone except war criminal Bibi? Starting a war SIX THOUSAND miles away from our country? Starting a war he CANNOT win? This is insane.
This is what we prayed would NOT happen, and the blithering idiot did it anyhow! Did he ever think about what “his people” would think of this? MAGA is going to be furious because again, it’s *not* “America First” like he promised. Layer that on top of not releasing all the Epstein files may make him lose them completely. *That* would be a good surprise. But will it happen? Maybe. Trump has enough to worry about *here* than some bullsh!t starting a war over THERE. If ICE wants to abuse people so badly, send THEM over there. Let the hoodlums fight. They would soon find out that being on the OTHER end of the abuse. Let’s see how they like it, being the ones who get beaten on. Wouldn’t that be something?
We are at war because of some egomaniacal orange tin god with feet of clay, insane, psychotic, narcissistic megalomaniac, who thinks about nothing but himself. Starting a war to stop a war is not going to get him a Peace Prize, far from it, if he *started* the damn war. Israel is just a sidekick, and Bibi wants to stay out of prison because of war crimes, including genocide.
I don’t WANT to see caskets come home. I don’t want to know our people are getting killed. That is going to happen soon. We all know it. It’s a waste of American *lives*. Trump doesn’t care. Remember, losers and suckers. It’s surprising he hasn’t put guns in the hands of “illegals” and sent THEM over there. 2 for the price of 1!! As if they would know how to handle a gun, but that doesn’t matter in Trump’s eyes. Just get rid of them.
Let’s send Trump’s cabinet over there. Petey Boy should see what *real* war looks like. It’s not fame and glory. It’s sweat, and dust, and blood, and people dying. How’s that machismo feeling now, Petey? And ICE Barbie, Krispi Gnome, the one who doesn’t know proper weapon protocol and points guns at the heads of people on her side, with her finger *on the trigger*. Blondi could go over and witness this war and insist it’s legal. Tulsi could tell Putin about all the opportunities for him to make some cash by providing weapons and such, not that Pootie has any to spare since he’s using them on Ukraine. But we could certainly bet on him finding a way. Marco, well, he’s going to be crabby because Trump didn’t go for Cuba.
Bessent can fuss about all the money we’re spending on this. Send him over so he can personally see our tax dollars at work. Ratcliffe and the CIA need to keep their ears to the ground here, because there *will* be some splinter cells showing up for protests and possibly more. Ouch. Vought, Management and Budget. He’s going to have a great time with all that needs to be done overseas. He doesn’t have control over a world of money. The gazillionaires do, but we know they won’t lift a finger to give up all that lovely money, enough for 10 lifetimes. So now Vought has to figure out things for 2 places – the US and Iran. OMG. RFK Jr. Send him over there so we can get rid of him. He has done SO much damage to healthcare in this country. Maybe he can infect Iran with brainworms. Ewww.
Burgum, Secretary of the Interior, well, this actually doesn’t concern him except for listening to the war hawks. Same for Chavez-DeRemer, Secretary of Labor. That’s definitely a US thing. Collins, Veteran Affairs. He’d best prepare for an influx of veterans soon, if this turns into a ground war instead of lobbing missiles. A ground war will be horrible. A ground war will drag on and on. Trump doesn’t care. This is “his war,” and he will do what he wishes. Duffy, Transportation. Hmmm. There are things here at home for him to handle, and he wouldn’t be much use in Iran. We don’t know much about Grier, the US Trade Rep., so we’ll skip along. Lutnick, Commerce. He’s been in the news in a bad way. He may or may not end up being involved if this thing drags on, possibly needing to make some changes to manufacture guns, bullets, missile shells, and so forth, to support our military.
McMahon, Education, yuck, ’nuff said. Rollins, Agriculture. She needs to be helping our damn farmers with their farms because too many are filing bankruptcy, and then who will grow the food? Especially because Krispi Gnome’s ICE is grabbing all the traveling workers who would help with harvests. Bitch. Scott Turner, HUD. He needs to be doing his own damn job in his own damn country. But he isn’t. Loeffler, Small Business Administration. We haven’t heard much about her. She certainly keeps a lower profile than a lot of the others. Wright, Energy. Wish he’d get wind projects back on track, especially with how high gasoline is going to cost soon, if it hasn’t jumped already. Does he need to worry about supplying fuel for all the ships and planes? Zeldin, EPA. Well, he didn’t block anything that was needed, and, in fact, protections were turned back. He’s pointless with a president who won’t listen. Hell, we don’t even know if *he* listens.
So it looks like we should send about half the “cabinet” over to Iran for some close-up views of the action. They might learn from it, if we’re being *really* generous. Get out there with them, Petey! Let’s see some of that manly-man machismo bullsh!t. He says he’s the Secretary of War, so get him in it. He might change his tune pretty damn fast. He’s the one I wish would go over. Let him see it up close and personal. Let’s see if it opens his eyes or if he’s going to continue with the bantam rooster lecture of the highest commanders in our military again. That was bloody damn insulting. It was a huge waste of time and money, just for him to yell and scream and strut.
We are at war. Our country has enough problems. Trump’s flailing for a Peace Prize is not going to make one damn bit of difference. He’s not going to get one since he also started the war. War is messy. Who isn’t going to have a mother, father, brother, or sister come home? Did anyone think about that?
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula






















“I dunno, Mr. Prezident, sir, they’re are shooting back! Whadda I do?”
Don’t worry, we got that $1.5 TRILLION here to send, fire away….
Ouch! And Oof. And *snort* 😉
