The news has felt admittedly darker in recent weeks and months than I remember it ever feeling before in my lifetime.
And that's saying something.
We Americans are fighting yet another war in the Middle East, that region which our leaders keep fixating on, time and time again. Even someone who loudly and proudly proclaimed "no more forever wars" and who blasted President George W. Bush for the Iraq war - once even suggesting that he should have been impeached for getting the United States into that war - now has gotten the nation into this ridiculous war with Iran. If the logical inconsistencies and lies which led to Bush invading Iraq back in early 2003 seemed preposterous, Trump is predictably outdoing him greatly with the lies, inconsistencies, and absurd propaganda in leading the United States to just this latest conflict in the Middle East.
Most Americans - and almost everyone around the rest of the world - want no part of this damn war. Especially since Trump has "handled" the war in exactly the same way that he got us into it in the first place. Namely, with lies and deceit and glaring inconsistencies and mindless propaganda that only his most brainwashed supporters accept.
Yet here we are, fighting another war in the Middle East. If George W. Bush's pursuit of the Iraq invasion seemed less than credible, and the American public's general acceptance of those overly convenient arguments seemed like a shocking wakeup call back then, Donald Trump's pursuit of war with Iran with conflicting rationales and an absence of any clear military objectives seems like a convenient tool to distract from all of the bad news facing this administration domestically. That seems particularly true with the unpopularity of ICE and especially with how compromised the Epstein Files have made Donald Trump before the entire world. It sure seems clear now that he went to all those lengths to keep the list hidden for a reason, and that reason has nothing to do with his innocence.
With all of this dark news and grim realities, it seemed to me a good time to try and take a step back and get a breather. And how better to do that than with a good laugh.
So this seems like the opportune time to share this latest headline from The Onion (see the link below).
Enjoy.
