How The Day Ended

Seems like a lot of people know that. Alternatively: Sen. Blumenthal thinks those options include boots on the ground:
"I do have the impression, from some of the briefings that I have received, as well as other sources, that an imminent military strike is very much on the table, which is deeply disturbing because it could well involve American sons and daughters in harm's way and potential massive casualties," Blumenthal continued. "But what you saw, even from the brief clips that you played, was Secretary Hegseth essentially dissembling and evading pointed questions on the draining of munitions, on the cost of the war, as well as on this. Absolutely incredible and absurd theory about a pause in the 60 days, which is an absolutely ridiculous interpretation of the law."
Let’s talk about the “draining of munitions.”
According to Bloomberg, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has requested the deployment of the U.S. Army's long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW), aka "Dark Eagle," for use in Operation Epic Fury. The LRHW is still in development, having only completed a handful of classified tests to date. The request to the Pentagon comes due, in part, to Iran has moving their missiles out of range of the Precision Strike Missile.
Chris Hayes says Trump’s approval on the economy and inflation is -40 points, which is literally off the charts, and lower than Carter’s rating during stagflation and the original energy crisis. But that one was caused by OPEC, not Carter. There’s also reporting that what Trump fears is being a lame duck, being ineffective and irrelevant. That’s why he wants to build monuments. In essence, he wants to claim his immortality.

The problem is, Trump’s moving beyond political concerns. He still wants the SAVE Act, but what he really wants are his monuments. So does he care what happens if he sends in troops? 
Signs point to “No.”

And it could be Trump’s motive is as simple as this:
Which is as delusional as it gets. Or is this even worse?
They should be issuing a tsunami warning. Because when gas hits $5 a gallon, elections don’t go the way people in power think they will.

And yet, you’ve got Republicans giving Trump an A on the economy. An A.

With prices surging. They see the wave coming. They’re just pretending it’s not there.
Which means Republicans won’t object even if body bags start coming home. Now I’m interested to learn what Iran has to do with our freedom. Maybe there’s a new domino theory I haven’t heard of yet.

Every time I think these idiots learned the wrong lessons from Vietnam, I realize the only lesson they learned was that the other third rail is a new military draft. Short of that, they think Americans will tolerate anything that involves blowing foreigners up. 
Run that up the flagpole and see who salutes. đŸĢĄ

And how many people will have to die in Iran between now and next January?
