I write a ridiculous headline so I don’t cry.
Most of today, the news was that everyone is standing down. Trump says Iran is standing down. US seems pleased and also wants to stand down.
But then, um, here’s some more sanctions. But the US is going to “embrace peace” (heads up – autoplay vid). But that would only work if Iran takes these sanctions lying down after we assassinated one of their leaders. And why is he implementing sanctions after they appear to be standing down?
Or is he making up the stand down thing? I don’t see why though. It’s not very WWF of him.
And, oh, um, neat development: a couple rockets just hit Baghdad’s green zone (which I learned is an area that is highly fortified). One landed 100 yards from the US embassy.
I apologize I won’t be available to provide any updates for several hours, if any more info on the rockets becomes available, but have at it in the comments.
Pence, Pompeo, and Mulvaney are all evangelical nut job cliches right out of HBO’s The Brink. They want to bring about the rapture. These guys have no place in public office. They scare the living shit out of me! I don’t trust anything they and trump tell me. I don’t believe the crisis is over.
Yeah I don’t believe them for one fucking second.
Have you seen this yet? I’m sure it was just a coincidence, as they say.

Sweet tap dancing Buddha. He’s dying to bomb the shit out of them.
