Tragical Misery Tour

Hope For The Best, Expect The Worst

March 9, 2026

While Trump puts Americans in America at significant risk for another 9/11* or maybe just a bunch of smaller ones, not to mention the fact that Iran has a peerless cyberwar capability, the Fascist/Trump/Epstein administration continues to reduce our ability to monitor, prevent or even respond to whatever is surely coming next.

Trump has gutted FEMA, he has gutted the intelligence of the intelligence community, especially cyber security. Our standing in the world is the lowest in our history; our allies cannot trust us, or trust that we will not turn on them. Trump has gutted our diplomatic corps; we have very few Senate-confirmed ambassadors in the Middle East. Trump’s stupid, illegal, unprovoked and unnecessary* war is rapidly depleting our supply of military weapons, though ICE has all the guns and ammo they need. 

Russia and China are chomping at the bit to take advantage of our weakened, unprepared state to do whatever they want on the world stage. They are intent on finishing their purge of anyone with a brain or historical knowledge of how things work and happen.

This administration is much better prepared to kill American citizens than it is to protect us. And the former five-time draft dodger seems bent on depleting our troops, as he repeatedly teases sending them into harm’s way, as his shock-and-awe morphs into shucks-and-oops. To Trump it’s all just a video game he just watches, without even touching his joystick. The only thing that hasn’t been gutted is Trump. His gut is getting bigger and is doing all his decision-making.

Not to mention that Iranians, particularly those who have been in power since the last asshole we picked to run that country was overthrown in 1979, have very long memories. Longer than we or anyone any of us has ever known have been alive. Trump will be dead soon, certainly sooner than the expiration date on the Iranian revenge that is brewing, but clearly, not soon enough. Naturally, we all wish him the best health he deserves.

Coincident with Trump’s attack on Iran, this from Thom Hartmann, who sees a scenario similar to 2001 and the failing presidency of George WTF Bush in the run-up to the 9/11 attacks that conveniently catapulted his failing poll numbers from the thirties into the nineties.

“Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI director, has fired or reassigned almost the entire FBI team responsible for tracking Iranian threats inside the United States. The specialists who spent years building intelligence networks to monitor Iranian-linked operatives on American soil have been purged from the agency, fired unceremoniously…

Ask yourself why. Why would a president who just bombed Iran simultaneously gut the very intelligence infrastructure built by previous administrations to detect and prevent Iranian retaliation? Why would you poke a hornet’s nest and then fire the guy with the EpiPen?

Unless you wanted to get stung…

This is not some wacky conspiracy theory: it’s simply pattern recognition.”

When asked about the risk of attacks on home soil, Der Furor croaked**

“I guess. But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy and dead inside knowing that our dear president won’t lose any sleep-during-meetings over this.

We are, as the French say, fucked.

KIA so far: 7
