Regarding Trump’s War, it looks like maybe the word has gone out to the GOP members of Congress, as seen here in this transcript of Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, March 1, 2026:
MARGARET BRENNAN: The president of the United States warned the American public that there could be casualties, American casualties. Does that mean the U.S. is putting boots on the ground?
SENATOR TOM COTTON [(R-AR)]: No, Margaret, the president has been clear that what we should expect to see is an extended air and naval campaign that’s designed not only to continue to set back Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but, most importantly, to destroy its vast missile arsenal, many more missiles than the United States and Israel have air defenses combined, as well as the missile launchers and its missile manufacturing capability.
… many more missiles than the United States and Israel have air defenses combined …? Really?
Then why wasn’t Israel wiped out last year?
What’s really happening? Are we incompetent and Trump is trying to cover it up? While the Administration is incompetent, the military should be mostly OK, even if key commanders have been fired for a perceived lack of loyalty. Unless purges have been worse than I’ve read.
But the Epstein Files persist, and they really do seem to have Trump scared pissless. Does he think he can ride a war until November and use it to manipulate the public to vote Republican?
The next few days, weeks, even months should be interesting.
