The article does sound kind of shrill, but I do agree with the one paragraph on Iran.
Iran is unlikely to give in. It can withstand the economic pressure of a blockade better than Trump can withstand the political pressure that comes with rising gas prices (now nearly $4.50 a gallon, on average), soon followed by rising food prices.
President Trump lost any chance of an Iranian internal overthrow with his comments about annihilating a civilization. Nothing will draw country more to itself, regardless of how bad the current leadership is, than an outside force threatening even worse behaviour.

Precisely.

The history of attempted regime change from an air war alone is abysmal. Early on the administration mentioned that they were arming the Kurds. Haven’t heard mention of it since.

The director of the secret service was present for a campaign rally as well. The boss. Wonder why

How many here still cling to the notion that the assassination attempts on Trump were real and not a coordinated staged event with complicity from the Secret Service? just curious. Robert Reich, who I consider an institution of truth in this country posted a very long article regarding what’s going on and spells it out in black and white and I responded to his post with this because this is my truth of how I see things in this country. First, Robert’s post then my two replies……
Friends,
We are witnessing what happens to a person who is consumed with the need to dominate but cannot.
Iran is unlikely to give in. It can withstand the economic pressure of a blockade better than Trump can withstand the political pressure that comes with rising gas prices (now nearly $4.50 a gallon, on average), soon followed by rising food prices.
His looming failure in Iran is not just a serious geopolitical defeat for the United States; it’s a personal crisis for Trump.
Those rising prices coupled with an increasingly unpopular war have increased the likelihood that Democrats will take back control of the House and even possibly the Senate in the upcoming midterms.
Here again, not just a political defeat for the Republican Party but a personal crisis for Trump.
His ego cannot accept a humiliating loss, as we saw after the 2020 election. His need to bully, dominate, and gain submission is so hardwired inside his insecure head that the defeats he’s now facing — to Iran and to Democrats — are already setting off explosions.
He’s posting more wildly than ever — attacking, insulting, ridiculing, threatening.
On Sunday, Trump posted that Democrats had “RIGGED the 2020 Presidential Election. GET TOUGH REPUBLICANS—THEY’RE COMING, AND THEY’RE COMING FAST! They’re no good for our Country, they almost destroyed it, and we don’t want to let that happen again!” He demanded that Republicans “approve all of the necessary Safeguards we need for Elections to protect the American Public during the upcoming Midterms.”
More of his posts are bizarre AI-generated paeans to himself, his godlike powers, his wished-for physique, and his self-image of omnipotence. On Friday night, he posted an AI-image of himself, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Doug Burgum, all shirtless and with young physiques, standing in the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial, along with an unidentifiable woman in a bikini. Minutes later he posted an image of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries holding a baseball bat, with a caption calling Jeffries “low IQ,” “a THUG,” and “a danger to our Country.” On Tuesday, he posted AI-images of Joe Biden on one knee with the caption “COWARDS KNEEL,” Barack Obama with the caption “TRAITORS BOW,” and himself with his fist raised and the caption “LEADERS LEAD.”
His mouth — never in control — is now in diarrheic mode. He’s even back to attacking the pope, accusing him of “endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people,” adding, “but I guess if it’s up to the pope, he thinks it’s just fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”
His thin-skinned vindictiveness is beyond anything we’ve seen before, which is saying a lot. Last week, after German chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was “being humiliated by the Iranian leadership,” Trump repeatedly attacked and ridiculed Merz. The Defense Department then said it was pulling 5,000 troops out of Germany, and Trump said he was increasing tariffs on European cars and trucks to 25 percent (from 15 percent).
He’s becoming ever more obsessed with monuments to himself — his ballroom, his arch, his so-called “garden of heroes,” his Trump-embossed passports, his image on 24-karat gold commemorative coins, and his name plastered or etched all over Washington. His plans for self-monuments are becoming larger by the day, more grotesque, more grandiose, and more expensive. Senate Republicans just proposed $1 billion more for Trump’s ballroom, which, recall, was supposed to “cost taxpayers nothing.”
He has even directed the Treasury to announce that his own signature — yes, the same one that appears in a book of birthday greetings for Jeffrey Epstein — will replace the Treasurer’s on all new U.S. paper currency. This will be the first time in American history that a sitting president’s name will appear on circulating cash money.
His thirst for vengeance is exploding, too. Last week the Department of Justice launched another criminal case against former director of the FBI James Comey (whose earlier indictment was quashed by the courts) for posting a picture of seashells spelling out “86 47” on Instagram a year ago. Trump is also insisting that the Justice Department restart its criminal investigation of Jerome Powell and double-down against former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley and others he considers “enemies.”
Facing the two monumental failures of Iran and control over Congress, Trump is fanatically seeking other ways to assert dominance. On Tuesday, his Education Department announced a civil rights investigation into Smith College over enrolling transgender students. Expect more of this.
Regardless of what happens in Iran, he’ll claim victory. That will be difficult to do convincingly when gas prices remain over $4 a gallon, but he’ll undoubtedly try.
What if Democrats win control of one or both chambers of Congress in the midterms and he claims they lost or cheated? The nation barely survived the last time Trump’s fragile ego faced a major loss.
We’ll also have to cope with Trump as a lame-duck president who can no longer dominate and gain submission as he did before. Will he try to remain president beyond his second term to avoid this?
The man is unwell. Seriously unwell. Lame-duck presidents fade away, but injured dictators can be dangerous.
What are your thoughts?
NS- You can be assured that Trump will meddle with these elections to the point where he will call martial law, and it will be a nexus point whether the military finally grabs their balls and defies this crazy person. I’m surprised that they still follow orders with the Iran debacle.
NS- Let me make this clear if my last reply didn’t. We will only escape this evil via our military leaders via military coup on the white house.. They are the only ones with the ability, and if they want to do it right, they also need to march into the Supreme Court and arrest 5 justices on the spot. Roberts, thomas, alito, gorsuch and kavanaugh. I know this is anti-American in all forms, but it is the necessary and only option I see to get the criminals out out of power. Thinking the midterms will start the slow process of ousting this evil is a fantasy when the other side knows that clinging to their power is their only way of escaping justice and accountability. Being that we truly don’t know where Caine nor Mahoney sit with their allegiance to all things Trump,  it may be necessary for the top leadership under them, consisting of the admirals and generals throughout the forces to collectively lead this charge. This will most certainly not be a bloodless coup either. Anyone with half a brain can see that the Secret Service is complicit with the staged events of Trump assassination attempts. Many Secret Service members will die in this coup as well as true patriotic American soldiers, but unfortunately, it will become necessary if we want to take back our country.

Apparently, now living so close to Corsica is having an effect on you. I thought I was the only one anticipating the USA’s 18 Brumaire. Am sure some will welcome it…at least, at first. Doubt though if you will.

The number of instances where a military coup removed a democratically elected leader and replaced him with somebody more committed to Truth, Justice and the American Way than the guy he replaced isn't exactly encouraging.

You're calling for a military overthrow of the United States government and I'm the one in a cocoon.
Got it.
Remember when they frog-marched Trump out of the White House in handcuffs over Russiagate? Good times that need to be repeated!
