FRIDAY 'ROUND-THE-HORN: PHONEY WAR EDITION.

He looks like a high school science teacher but sometimes
Michael Franks gets into Wesley Willis territory.

One good thing about everything getting stupider is, I no longer have the unsettling feeling that what I’m reading in the news doesn’t make sense -- now I’m sure it doesn’t. This week I read in the Prestige Press coverage of the Iran War that according to Tubby (and many of them don’t even put “Trump claims” or even “Trump says,” they just take his word for it) we have either won the war or will win it as soon as he decides we won, that the big question is really what country gets to host the peace talks, and by the way Iran sent him a prize. (“What did Iran give Trump?” gushes USA Today. “He called the gift a ‘very nice thing.’” At no point does USA Today hint that maybe the famously truth-averse president was making it up.)

Look at this at Axios: “Iran's Parliament speaker takes center role in peace talks.” Politico says Trump is “eyeing” the speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, “as a potential partner — and even a future leader.” They keep giving us the inside dope on the alleged peace talks that Iran keeps telling us do not exist. 

That’s what this week’s free link for non-subscribers to ROY EDROSO BREAKS IT DOWN is about: The weird fantasy that Trump has created, and the media dopes support, to make this look like a real war instead of a series of mass murders calculated to distract from the Epstein files. 

Well, it’s not like there’s anything back home to worry about, besides skyrocketing prices, chaos at the airports (which House Republicans have just voted to extend until they get enough money for ICE that they can be a real Gestapo), and the usual lawbreaking by Tubby’s minions. The courts are so far doing a fair job of holding them back but they can't be expected to keep it up forever -- all good reasons to get in the streets Saturday. Because if they can't even hold the Mar-a-Lago district, we can beat these assholes everywhere else, too.
