More stupid at the link.
Afterthought:
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. It’s the Trump maladministration’s approach to American history.
As one who trained as an historian (and whose ancestors wore the grey, for that matter), I find that repulsive and disgusting.

There are obviously lots of angles to this story, and it’s dangerous to wade into things without knowing how they will play out. So we waited to see if anything positive might emerge after the initial assassination of the despicable Khamenei (whose name was in an early draft of a chorus), and what the Trump administration/regime’s purported rationale was … and over subsequent days as we watched the grotesque media performances by Hegseth, the missiles killing children not just tyrants, and the escalation of damage and casualties without any sign of a coherent policy or endgame, we made the song about how it’s dangerous to wade into things without knowing how they’re going to play out.
