I want to say something to those feeling dread. 1. You're right to feel dread. 2. Don't let it overtake it. Let it inform you. 3. Be brave. We will face the trouble, whatever it is. There will be costs, but we face it nobly. 4. Have faith. God is good, all the time. The truth will set us free.

The very concept of war crimes is a joke to Trump. The same for white-collar crimes and sex crimes. "Crimes" are what Trump hires lawyers and crooked politicians to take care of so he can keep doing what he likes to do.

To judge from Trump's stochastic, contradictory statements about his war on Iran, he knows that he has lost & is desperate. What will he do? A near consensus here in Washington expects that Trump will escalate out of sheer vanity with even more bombing & then ground troops. /1
