I call it gray washing. Make it look like it's not so bad that we have to pay attention or do something.

Boycott the Trump economy as much as you can, it's his achilles Proud to be an undesirable. Data nerd dad in the PNW. Trying, and failing, to ignore the fascist theocratic cultist dumpster fire. Trying to be kinder. Curiosity is too rare these days.

I'm not feeling at all forgiving towards any MAGAts. But I definitely will welcome any news that they are abandoning their cult. It's too bad shame isn't a terminal disease.
If the USA is going to get any punishment it will be either terrorism or self inflicted and it won't be distributed fairly.
No doubt. But guys I know aren't grunts. They're pilots, aircraft technicians. They're a bit smarter. And also I think a.lot of the Military MAGAts are going to be having some doubts real soon. I don't see how anyone could remain impressed with Hegseth as this continues, if they ever were.
War is not a game.
I've always figured things would go to hell when at least one of these madmen was just about to croak.
Always ask yourself, does it benefit Putin?
Well, if Trump nukes Iran, then Putin can nuke Ukraine, or threaten to nuke them.
Our MAGAt voters are responsible. People who chose not to vote for Kamala in 2024 are responsible. I hope they all choose to begin to atone for the death and suffering they caused.
Others said things to the effect of we should have attacked Iran at any point over the last 20 years. And now Iran is demonstrating why that was never a clear cut case.
We should have kept the Obama deal and then cut more deals to help Persians have more freedom.
Its stunning how after all these years of Trump demonstrating negative competence as POTUS (and other contexts), there were still non MAGA people willing to walk with him even a little down this path. A certain bald business guru said there was a "blinking green light" for the US to attack.
Its a good thing Iran can't see these clips. They might get ideas.
Also also, this may be the more relevant Cheap Trick song.

He is so screwed. And so are we. This is an opponent he has never faced. They will happily escalate.
How bad could it be...
UPDATE: We just added more info to the Trump Team Financials app! Now including President Trump's most recent financial transactions, which were filed late + released the same day we published our app. You can now see his transactions up until late Jan 2026.

@profgalloway.com wanted to call it "Operation Blinking Green Light"

Finally, I really think we need shows that could deserve name like this show, but @ragingmoderates.bsky.social YOU AINT IT. You are intentionally weak low T sauce. You exist to reign in the left, even when they are completely correct. You graywash horrible ideas and suffering.
Parnas and Tarlov also characterized Trump and Bibi as "miscalculating". More graywashing. No, this war is a colossal fuck up, a horrifying human rights tragedy, and anyone with a brain whose job it is to think about these things could have called it.
Many did!
No its a war, and a war they so courageously, ragingly, moderately cheered for in February. @profgalloway.com said there was a "blinking green light that we should finish the job" because Iran has not been attacking ships in the straights. How's that going?
They mischaracterized the mans statement - I suppose they want to help Trump build that offramp? I can just hear Trump claiming we successfully cut the head off the snake and Iran needs to get over it, or else.
@ragingmoderates.bsky.social is doing their part to graywash this special operation.
Khamenei: "The revenge we intend is not only related to the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution; rather, every member of the nation who is martyred by the enemy is an independent subject for the revenge case."
No love on my part is wasted on *any* theocrats or brutal tyrants, but fact are important, and they have characterized M. Khamenei as claiming he will avenge his father's death. As if there's nothing else Iran has cause to retaliate for thanks to the USAs idiotic barbaric warmongering.
Other highlights include not one mention of Tarlov's buddy, rapist, idiot, drunk and war criminal, Pete Hegseth or any dead U.S. soldiers.
They are advocating Trump to "find an offramp", as if it is possible to unilaterally declare peace.
They mention zero Iranian deaths other than the Ayatollah.
I hope many other folks jump into a well deserved evisceration of this YouTube show that is the news analysis equivalent of homeopathic bud light. In the 5/13 video they discuss a bunch of children in the USA who almost got hurt, but not 150+ Iranian girls who were blown up

We need to take a moment to hate on the daily fountain of pigeon shit that has the nerve to call itself "Raging Moderates" @ragingmoderates.bsky.social @jessicatarlov.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @aaronparnas.bsky.social
You should all be ashamed to pretend this is a quality or helpful project
