as Trump reportedly considers sending ground troops in to open the straight of hormuz, it's worth remembering how much extra, unnecessary danger it puts US troops in to preemptively declare "we will murder soldiers who surrender to us" (which is what "no quarter" means)

Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

It isn't too late for more Dems to choose to boycott Trump's state of the union address. Not just to convey something negative about Trump, but to convey something admirable about themselves.
