This is Friday. trump makes major announcements on Fridays, when a lot of Washington is home or away. The attack on Iran is the most recent example. The Constitution gave to Congress the power to declare war. [FN1] Congress has not declared war against Iran. 1/10

trump unilaterally ordered air attacks. No one has given a clear reason why the attack on Iran was necessary. It couldn’t be that Iran is close to having nukes. On 6/21/25, trump said the U.S. had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuke program. [FN2] 2/10

Pres Obama had negotiated an agreement that included international monitoring & had held. On 5/8/18. trump tossed it, saying it was a bad deal. [FN3] Sec’y of State Rubio said the U.S. had attacked Iran because, if Israel attacked Iran, Iran would counter-attack. 3/10

I.e., Iran will act in self-defense if attacked. The real reason trump ordered attacks on Iran is to divert attention from the Epstein files. The latest files indicate DOJ has withheld info that implicates trump in rapes of little girls. He is implicated in knowing of girls’ murders.4/10

Gross, horrific crimes are compounded by trump’s ordering the launch of our military to distract from exposure of his crimes. Sen Sheldon Whitehouse revealed the connections between trump, Epstein & Russia. [FN4] trump is desperate. 5/10

Epstein, in a 2018 email, predicted trump would attack Iran to distract from trump’s “dark past.” The wonders of gerrymandering have delivered to trump a Congress with a faux & compliant gop majority. Epstein’s files were for blackmail & of a lot of people. 6/10

Between blackmail for pedophilia (on video!) & possible maga violence if trump gives the word, Republican officials would rather not seek re-election than take actions to protect & defend the Constitution, as they swore to do. They won’t even question what he’s done in Iran. 7/10

trump said more U.S. military will die because that’s what happens in war. trump’s daddy paid doctors to give trump an excuse to stay home from Vietnam, unlike the “suckers & losers” who went. How dare trump make such a statement. 8/10

There probably will be no general elections in November. We’ll be lucky if, this weekend, the Earth isn’t reduced to cinders. trump’s nuts enough to launch nukes BECAUSE HE CAN. We are at a Berlin Wall moment. Remember, it’s Friday. 9/10
