WHATS NEXT IN IRAN? DO YOU KNOW OR CARE?

The Onion took out a full-page ad in the NYT. It looks like a newspaper with the headline: “Congress, now more than ever, our nation needs your cowardice.” “Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero actions as this precious inheritance was stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived.” Ha. The Onion excels at stripping politics down to the essence of hypocrisy every time. But the GOP Congress does a good job of that too. Y’all eagerly went from lauding Trump as the president who would end all wars, to ‘Whatever you say boss!’ After bombing Iran, the WH was quick to put up a release showing just that. Everyone from Speaker Johnson to Alabama Senator Katie Britt, who encouraged people to “pray for peace” even as the bombs dropped, to Rep Mike Lawler, who said, “War has not been declared, however, a Nuclear Iran has been prevented. I fully support the President’s decision,” lined up as quick as they could. “To those concerned about US involvement, this is not a ‘’forever war’ in fact, it’s ending one.” Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) Did no one tell the big guy? Trump says otherwise. “It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!” MIGA! I appreciate that sentiment. Just add an S to the end though. Please keep up the ‘Mission Accomplished’ propaganda tour. I expect it’ll turn out fabulously. In the meantime I’ll be reading The Onion to get the real truth of it all. Because the current GOP is not to be believed on anything.
