Chris Murphy: "We're giving Iran $14B to fund its war with us? We're giving Russia billions to fund their war with Ukraine? We're literally giving money to the nations we're fighting! We've never seen this level of incompetence in war-making, and we've had a LOT of incompetence in war-making!"

That's how the "Bibi made him do it" narrative is working. Trump voters get to say that it's not his fault, and therefore not their fault for voting for him. But they all had choices. They all had full information. They all chose to ignore it for egotistical reasons, and here we are.

Trump voters have been repeatedly warned, for a decade, that the man is a sociopathic narcissist who would do something stupid — like start a war with Iran — to boost his own ego. Now that the warnings were proved true, they want a story about how they are innocent, and it wasn't their fault.

There's no going back in history to fix the situation, alas. But what we can do is reject any narrative that minimizes Trump's blame for the Iran war. He did this because he wanted to. Because he's a very stupid narcissist who thought he could win a war everyone else knew better than to start.

Kind of revealing that when a widely admired woman falls from grace the story is "She was mean to her staff sometimes" but when a widely admired man falls from grace the story is "He raped a bunch of 12-year-olds"

Labor activist Dolores Huerta went public with her own account of being raped by Cesar Chavez. Huerta said that she kept the secret for the last sixty years because she was worried that the abuse would hurt the movement she spent her entire life fighting for.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
