Are you surprised? If you’resurprised, frankly, you’re a fool. You understand nothing about politics andinternational affairs, and you bought into obviously dishonest propaganda aboutwho Donald Trump is. As of the morning of Friday the 13th,as fate would have it, it was about 90 percent likely that the president wasgoing to join Israel’s war on Iran.

I’ve been just staggered this weekto hear some people—in a few cases, the exact same people—repeating the lineswe heard so often in 2002 and 2003: how the situation was intolerable, how thecountry in question posed a direct threat to the United States, how action wasmorally and strategically imperative, and how easy it would all be.

To count to one million without stopping takes 11 days. To count to one billion takes nearly 32 years. To count Elon Musk’s fortune would take more than 13,000 years. Who needs that much money?

Saturday was a surreal day in American politics, in ways simultaneously horrifying and heartening. The horrifying part was the news we all woke up to about the political assassinations (both attempted and consummated) in Minnesota. The heartening was the millions who showed up for the nationwide No Kings marches, which probably made June 14, 2025, the largest single day of political protest in American history.
