Trump is not just mulling over an attack on Iran’s nuclear facility with some big bombs dropped from high altitude stealth bombers. He’s getting ready to start a war.
The Truscott Chronicles
After the weekend that showed Trump how enormous his opposition is, and how organized—and how peaceful, for crying out loud—he’s mad as hell, and as luck would have it, he has a way to show it.
Something Big Is About to Happen in the Middle East, and Trump Is Putting the US in the Middle of It
With all the talk of aircraft carriers and tankers and cargo planes and jets being sent to the Middle East to defend American interests, it would smart to keep an eye peeled for some sort of wag-the-dog fake Iranian provocation.
While Trump's parade looked like amateur hour at Dictatorville, there was no mistaking the crowded streets and sidewalks of towns and cities around the country.
This is our country. We are patriotic citizens of a democracy, and we will protect it by ensuring we remain a country that is of the people, for the people, and by the people.
Trump's regime of illegality is reminiscent of what Black people went through in the South during Jim Crow, when legal behavior by Black U.S. citizens was declared illegal.
Trump is going to keep escalating in L.A. and now, given the protests there, San Francisco. He doesn’t want order in the streets. He wants more chaos.
The danger we face right now is if unrest in the streets of our cities provides Trump with the opportunity to deploy Reserve, National Guard, or active-duty soldiers to quell unrest that Trump can define as a rebellion or insurrection.
Trump’s federalization of the National Guard and deploying 2,000 of them to L.A. is a tactic meant to intimidate a city that didn’t vote for him in the largest state that didn’t vote for him.
“Warrior culture” and "lethality" are made-up macho nonsense. The soldiers serving on active duty are not engaged in a “lifestyle” as Trump so stupidly puts it. They are serving their country, no matter who they are under the uniform.
Trump is forcing the secession of Democratic-leaning states, using federal funds to punish the states that failed to support him in 2024 and 2020.
What does it say about our country that the world’s richest man and the world’s most powerful man are both gibbering idiots, each of whom needs the other to complete himself?
The Washington Post's British CEO had a "bright" idea to save money: use non-professional journalists supported by AI. What could go wrong?
We too could be spending on $500 drones. Instead, we’re spending $500 million for weapons systems that we’ll still be waiting on when China decides to attack Taiwan and Putin decides that Poland looks like a good place to grow Russian wheat.
All AI companies are doing is copying—for free—information we as humans have generated, for centuries, with the intent of then selling it back to us.
We are witnessing a delicious moment best summed up by what we might call the hippie-era “what goes around, comes around” doctrine.
