As a Vatican II Catholic, words cannot convey the horror that ph and his jolly bunch instill. Almost feel I should apologize to non-Christians everywhere. As for jdv— puh léeze.

Has any other president threatened to obliterate a thousands of years old civilization over oil? It's all about oil and money.

Trump's spiritual adviser and Hegseth need to get in deeper touch with the history and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Thank you David, always, for an excellent newsletter.

Trump has looked like he was maybe crazy for over fifty (50) years now.

You know how long the mainstream media have gone without seriously considering the issue of his sanity?

Over fifty (50) years now, with the closest thing to an exception when they outed Donny for acting like he was his own press secretary in order to claim that Marla Maples claimed that sex with him was the best sex she ever had. (Unlikely for reasons that should be obvious unless she had an inhumanly strong fetish for having sex with sub-1%ers; maybe).

As for Iran, ever 🙏🏻 for all reportage that ignores the problem of dealing with a theocracy(or a madman on the other side).

Speaking of the rescue, were Trump anything more than an insane, moronic TV performer, but someone reasonably sane with average intelligence, he’d be grateful for the leak re saving the airman. The allegedly leaked version apparently promoted the official story which understandably omits the part about the plane being shot down while engaged in efforts to snatch uranium. No energy to post the links to what I’ve read about that but it’s easy enough to get via online search.

What if there was no rescue and that this was all part of a larger covert mission to get the uranium and it failed?

Aaron Rupar is a legend in his time, deserving of the Congressional Medal of Honor for his stand- up accounts of not only the daily trump lunacy, but also recording his henchmen playing out their rôles on the Sunday spielfests. A true hero of contemporary record-keeping of this criminal, mendacious, and ultimately failing regime.

Aaron should get the Medal of Freedom. BTW Lance, the Medal of Honor is only reviewed by Congress. It is a military award for bravery above and beyond duty.

Can citizens invoke the 25th amendment?

Can we sue for the Epstein files to all be released?

Please, everyone, don't mince words or say "It's just the Don" or TACO or whatever, because this is a flat out war criminal act in his position—just the *public* statement—that should be forcefully, vocally rejected by everyone. Just because 47 is suffering onset dementia does not make this ok in any way shape or form. As Paul Krugman said today, our darkest hour, and every American should be feeling that right now—unless you're numb or worse.

As usual , after reading your summary of news events, I have to calm down my heart and breathing. Especially today after Trump declares he will destroy a civilization at set times tonight. Congress please act NOW! Or the cabinet do the 25th amendment now!!
