Trump has succeeded by being a mean scary bully for decades. Suddenly it isn't working anymore, and he doesn't know what to do except try to be a meaner scarier bully. And that isn't working either.
“He also flagged the enormous difficulty of securing the Strait of Hormuz and the risks of Iran blocking it. Mr. Trump had dismissed that possibility on the assumption that the regime would capitulate before it came to that.”

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

If your name appears 38,000 times in the Epstein investigation, and you have multiple rape/sexual assault claims filed against you (including a conviction), and you owned a teen beauty pageant, all while being friends with a sex trafficker, it’s no longer a conspiracy theory. It’s just a conspiracy.

What we’re dealing with is more than just politics, which is an expression of deeper psychological processes.
This is an existential battle that will determine whether the world becomes more cruel and more deadly or if we end cycles of abuse and realize a better future. That’s the whole thing.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
