Good God, Y'all...

So until and unless he decides to back down and move it again we are just a little over 24 hours away from Trump following through on his threat of totally wiping out Iran. Which a lot of people are interpreting as dropping a nuclear bomb.

Which is insane.

Which is totally on brand.

This is the man that was so desperate to use our nukes during his last presidency he talked about nuking a hurricane to make it...not a hurricane?

Last presidency he had some grownups around him who made sure he understood that the whole Cold War Mutually Assured Destruction thing was still in effect. And then defined mutually and assured for him so he understood that this was a case of if you fuck with me it's a must that I fuck with you.

This presidency? We have a man who decided to change the Department of Defense to the Department of War and is part of the death cult that believes armageddon is a promise not a thing to be avoided.

Holy warriors like to be warriors more than they are concerned with being holy.

Lindsey Graham is so excited about the opportunity for another unending war in the Middle East that he shot the promo and went to Disney World!

Which, maybe that will be the saving grace. He wants long term forever wars so maybe a nuclear war wouldn't fit in that plan.

God help us all if we are depending on Lindsey Graham for anything...

Which is the constant drumbeat of this administration this time around. We cannot depend on anyone but ourselves. The people surrounding him are feckless or on their own End of Days missions. The people that should be opposing him have no real power to do so. They can posture and stomp around and try to throw sand in the gears, but as we've seen over and over again the gears don't need to turn for the destruction to continue. We are it.

And if he decides to use the nukes we aren't enough. We can hope, pray if that's your thing, make deals with whatever higher or lower power that you can that the people who actually turn the little keys and press the little buttons say no, but that's about it. And that's only good for as long as there are people willing to say no. And as we've seen he can always find yes men and women who are will to throw away their careers, their dignity, their morals and probably their lives for him.

My hope right now is that this is just another TACO Tuesday in the making and I will be writing to you on Wednesday about a new shade of lipstick or something equally unimportant. But I don't know.

I'm glad I'm growing my gray out right now because I think trying to keep it covered during this administration would be an impossible journey...

Hug your loved ones. Give your pets the good treats. Live like there is a madman at the helm. Because there is.

I love you all. I mean it. Even if we weren't possibly dealing with unthinkable disaster tomorrow, I love you all.
