| second: Trump keeps saying 'nobody' knew or expected things lots of people knew or expected.
On multiple occasions this month, Trump has claimed “nobody” had expected Iran to attack its Persian Gulf neighbors after it was attacked by the US and Israel. “Nobody ever thought they’d be shot at,” he said of Gulf countries on Thursday. “Nobody was even thinking about it,” he said Monday. “Nobody, nobody, no, no, no. No, the greatest experts — nobody thought they were going to hit,” he said last week.
In reality, various experts had not only thought but publicly predicted that Iran would retaliate by striking countries in the region. Iranian officials had themselves said this was their plan.

| second: We are in the third great global energy crisis, after the two in the 1970s. This time—for a change—it’s starting with political turmoil and war in the Middle East. Well actually, as always. (laughs) This one is distinguished in that it was 100% spontaneously self-created. It really distinguishes it. It’s kind of amazing. I’m trying not to obsess about the idiocy of the whole thing.

Of the sheer number of absurdist stories you may have missed in the news recently, one is that in public court filings slamming common-sense laws to prevent gun violence, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice refused to rule out nuclear weapons from the kinds of arms it claims the average citizen may be entitled to possess under the Second Amendment.
How did we get here, where the top law enforcement lawyers in the country refuse to draw any line at weapons that can be used in lawful self-defense? |

| Brenda: Tell me Second in another life were you a member of Custer's regiment. Righteous indignant over slavery is justified to the ninth degree but killing Indians doesn't seem to bother you. You do realize that Custer marched into unarmed villages at the crack of dawn. This was after the men had gone hunting for the day. The villages were filled with women, children, the old and the sick. They had no defense. In the past you would have been one of those who thought the only good Indian was a dead one. And another thing what do you think the reservation system was about. It was about control also at the point of a gun. You took any guns away that we had after that. We were lucky you left us our bows and arrows. |
