You know, when I described the conversation that started these Doom Reports, the one where my friend explained all the reasons why “some” people would have voted for Trump, I never mentioned the whole going-to-war thing. That’s because that post was primarily me trying to detail all the things my friend said that I thought were wrong ... and, when my friend said that Trump would keep us out of wars in the Middle East where Kamala wouldn’t, I actually thought he was right. I mean, I had some hope that Kamala would be better on Palestine than Biden had been, but I was under no illusion that she was anything more than an establishment Democrat: a younger one than most, perhaps; one with a more fiery disposition and more apt to want to shake up things than most, perhaps; and not an old white man, like most, which can actually go a long way towards making a difference. But, still: an establishment Democrat, and, at the end of the day, establishment Democrats always side with Israel. Whereas, based on Trump’s first term, he didn’t seem particularly inclined to invade places even when the opportunity presented itself; plus there was all that rhetoric about being the peace president, etc etc. Not that I believe anything that comes out Trump’s mouth, for the most part ... still, even the most prolific liars tell the truth sometimes, and this seemed like it might be the one thing he was actually sincere about.
More fool me.
So far, 13 American service members have died because the last person to speak to Trump that particular day, apparently, was Lindsey Graham. And, since Trump always does whatever the last person in the room suggests to him was his own brilliant idea, and since the only two things that seem to excite Graham are putting ultra-conservatives on the Supreme Court and killing people in the Middle East, we’re now at war in Iran. Or, excuse me: we’re at excursion. Many people theorize that Trump just misheard the word “incursion” and no one around him is brave enough to correct him. This makes sens
Other things you need to know this week:
- On Legal Eagle, Spencer the Scowl Owl breaks down the Afroman defamation case. You may have not have heard of this case yet, but, trust me: you need to. It’s priceless.
- Adam Kinzinger reacts to Trump’s reaction to the death of Robert Mueller. As they used to say on Fat Albert, Trump is like a school in the summertime: no class.
- Kat Abughazaleh lost her primary, though she came second by only about 3 points. It’s disappointing, but Kat outlines all the reasons she still considers this a victory.
If you haven’t seen the viral clip of the Pennsylvania Trump voter’s current opinion of her candidate, you have to watch it. Once you’re done with that clip, you can back up and watch the whole Closer Look segment if you lik
