If, as is being reported, Saudi Arabia was one of the drivers in Trump's decision to attack, it suggests that some parts

Middle East welcome this war. We know Israel does. What worries me is the unpredictability of the outcome. It will destabilize and cause chaos throughout the region, and the winners and losers can't be predicted at this point. People won't be winners, but certain regimes will. When the dust settles, who knows what we're going to see in terms of a new balance.

Wow! A devastating indictment of the Trump administration, their failure to uphold the law and investigate real crimes,

and their weaponization of the DOJ against political opponents.

Reminds me of the Bush administration and Iraq. We had scores of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency

traveling all over Iraq looking for evidence of nuclear and any other WMD. So Bush kicks the inspectors out and invades Iraq under the pretense that there was evidence of WMD production. They never found an WMD.

It is a huge bluff. Trump is desperate, and his attempts to wield power through tariffs are doomed to failure. The new

tariffs are not only illegal, they have a built in time limit. He says his plan is to use them as a stop gap measure until they can implement tariffs by other means, but he is running out of options.

"Sloppiness?" That's displaying bad table manners. This is lying to the court, submitting fraudulent information to

the court. It is a display of unconscionable, inhuman behavior. It's "not sloppiness." It is criminal behavior by law enforcement officers.

Trump and his Republican supporters are too obsessed with his anti-immigrant and anti-Democrat agenda to

pay attention to important developments like this. US national security has taken second place to Trump's vendetta against Democrats and immigrants.

I'm surprised that there seems to be a failure to realize that right wingers are willing to defend their leaders no

matter what. I don't know whether they actually don't realize their leaders are perverts, or that they just don't care, but it really doesn't matter. They will defend them to the end no matter what. It doesn't mean they are pedophiles. It means they don't care if they are pedophiles because they agree with the rest of their agenda. That's MAGA in a nutshelll.
