There is only incoherence
Trust is a rare commodity in our wretched times.
These are the days of corruption, self-dealing, incompetence and faithlessness to the Constitution.
These are the days of Donald Trump and his tiny men and women.
These are the days of Rubio, Vance, Hegseth and all the scared boys wearing $145 Florsheim shoes.
“Always look at a man's shoes; they will tell you a lot about him” is a wise proverb indeed.
Serving the wrong against the right has become an anabolic steroid to the ambitious sycophants swarming about Donald Trump in his hive of depravity, indecency, dishonesty and un-American lawlessness.
Who can be trusted?
I trust Chris Murphy, the outstanding US senator from Connecticut.
Here is what he said on X after walking out of a classified briefing:
I just came from a two-hour classified briefing on the war. It confirmed to me that the strategy is totally incoherent.
I think this is pretty simple: if the president did what the Constitution requires and came to Congress to seek authorisation for this war, he wouldn’t get it – because the American people would demand that their members of Congress vote no.
Here's what I can share:
Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
We deserve to know.
There is no plan.
There is no strategy.
There is only incoherence.
There is only incompetence.
Donald Trump has allowed Pete Hegseth to run a war with Dan Caine, a highly political chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, who should never have been confirmed by the Senate for the job.
The result is a disaster.
The only metric for victory in the eyes of the mullahs is survival, and Trump has already failed to topple them.
Therefore, the reasons for the war change by the hour.
They include the premise that we must keep obliterating the nuclear stockpile we have already obliterated until it is so obliterated that it will never require MAGA to obliterate it again.
Madness doesn’t begin to describe it.
Here is Nancy Mace asking a question that I must confess to have pondered myself after seeing Lindsey Graham say this:
She asked, “What in the world would possess anyone to say this?
Lindsey wants to send young Americans to Iran. He has promised to look South Carolinians in the eye, and ask them to send their children to die in the Middle East for the cause of MAGA and the glory of Donald Trump.
His words are astonishing.
South Carolina voters should remove him from office in November. He is a national canker sore.
Remember when the propaganda washes over today that the truth is very simple.
There is no plan.
There is only disaster.
We are spending $1 billion per day on this war with Iran.
Lindsey Graham says it’s the best money we’ve ever spent.
He is a fool.
We should all dissent.
What Trump is doing will not be easily stopped. We are in a most uncertain hour, and every American should appreciate that we had best get out of it as fast as possible.
Disaster lurks.
There is a void screaming through every briefing and talking point. There was never a theory of victory here, just a cycle of spectacle and escalation.
If destroying the nuclear program isn’t the goal, and regime change isn’t the goal, then we are killing people and spending a billion dollars a day so that Trump, Hegseth, and Graham can keep performing “toughness” for the base while the mullahs’ only real metric of success—survival—is already met.
Endless war becomes the strategy by default, because no one in charge is willing to say out loud that they don’t know how this ends, only that they know how to keep it going.
And meanwhile, the Epstein files show Trump beat down a 13-year-old girl for biting his tiny dick. Epstein taped everything, so where are the videos?
Graham belongs in a zoo cage… he is unsafe
