Did all of our Ohio ladies vote in the primaries today?
I can’t comment on the Iran thing because I’m too angry.

So this doesnt really have anything to do with anything but I'm reading a book called Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen. I'm about halfway thru, he was talking about building schools in Pakistan. After the first was built and he was scouting for a second, he was captured by very early Taliban. In his cell was a 70's Time magazine from right after the Iran Hostage stuff started. I had forgotten how long Iran held them (444 days?). They currently have 5 US citizens held hostage that we don't hear about. And we've lost all leverage there. We've broken our word. but the rhetoric sounding like the shock and awe campaign is what reminded me of that. That's a really good book

I'm going to need that AUMF now Senator Kaine To walk back the "this is like the lead up to the Iraq war" concerns, though, in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Bush admin essentially went on tour to convince the international community, particularly our allies, that the WMDs were real and that there was a clear and obvious threat to everyone. And our allies believed the Bush administration and fairly quickly got on board. You also have to remember how this all was happening w/in a year-and-a-half of 9/11, and Bush had tremendous home support and international support, and people were still pretty terrified of another large-scale attack. The Trump administration is not nearly as smart as the Bush administration (god help us), does not have the same support at home or among allies. We have no credible intelligence saying that Iran is in violation of the deal. Our European allies are still in the deal and are unlikely to leave it. Any real efforts to try to enforce sanctions against Iran could end up also being sanctions on those allies. The only people we have on our side are Israel, who have been doing some highly criticized, piss poor spinning of intelligence that isn't nearly as damning as they want it to be, and SA and UAE. This does not a grand coalition make. Trump may *try* to go to war on nothing more than the barest, non-credible whiffs of rumor about what he *suspects* Iran is doing but has no proof of. And if he does, it will definitely get people killed. Of greater concern to me, though, is the fact that if we did so, we'd essentially be turning our oldest and most powerful allies into enemies. And there's really only one party who benefits from this, and their name rhymes with gluten. This would not be a repeat of the Iraq War. It would be a lot worse.

Damn. Biden too. Do we think DT changes his mind? Wouldn’t be the first time... No. He did this specifically to undo Obama's legacy. Obama (and Biden) getting riled up is the entire point. This is what happens when you allow trolls to set foreign policy. Yeah, this. It's what he's wanted to do the entire time and he's sick of getting talked out of things. God help us.

The Russian guy was one of the oligarchs that Mueller's team stopped for questioning while they were on US soil.
