180 days and sadly still counting

 The war in Iran has lasted 180 days as of August 26, 2026, starting from February 28, 2026

The scope of Hegseth’s damage to the U.S. Army comes into sharper focus. There are fresh reasons to believe putting a former Fox News host in charge of the Pentagon during a war really wasn’t a good idea. (Maddow Blog).

Safer? Mightier? Much More Testosterone? Able To Leap Tall Buildings? The Trump War in Iran is still happening, albeit one might never realize this given Trump’s infatuation with gold-plating everything in Washington DC, or his golfing excursions. But no worries, because, like Trump, it seems that all we have to do is obey the directives of Hegseth, who it is rumored brings his wife to most strategic military meetings, so she can be his “binky,” and keep him from screaming or drinking. And because Trump can NEVER admit he has ever made a wrong decision, and due to the fact that the Republican Majority in the Senate will never tell Trump he has made a myriad of bad decisions, Pistol Pete remains in position to keep the Iran War going, and going, and going!

The rule of Law is not of any concern for a Fascist Dictator, or, in fact, those whose own power base remains as long as they too disrespect the law, favoring respect for the Despot in Power.

Troops fighting against Iran and alleged drug smugglers say they are being asked to violate international law. Organizations that help service members apply to leave the military as conscientious objectors are seeing a large increase in concerns over U.S. military strikes against alleged drug boats and targets inside Iran. (MS NOW).

It should be clear to no one who is not a MAGA moron that law and order are meaningless if law and order gets in the way of Trump and his accolades. There is absolutely no respect for the laws that govern this nation, so why would anyone even think that Trump and his fellow Fascists give a fuck about International Law!
