Observers have spent two weeks trying to discern the “aims” of Trump’s war on Iran,
and therefore what might constitute a victory or defeat.
His every bizarre utterance about his war “plans”
— including wildly conflicting declarations that Iran has surrendered and the war must be expanded to defeat the regime
— immediately move markets.
The evident fact, though, is that Trump is completely nuts, and that he’s “governing” the country
— and has now taken the US to war
— based on his impulses alone,
without even the pretense of a strategy or goal.
“Governance” by impulse":
It’s a frightening reality of the Trump regime that,
as Trump has descended into utter incoherence and is now nothing more than an assortment of adolescent
(and frequently violent) urges,
the US government has been remade into a tool for the immediate satisfaction of his wants and desires
no matter how absurd or nihilistic they may be.
We’ve seen this dynamic of chaos descend upon various components of our government and society over the past 14 months.
🔸First, under the “leadership” of stooge Pam #Bondi, the United States Department of Justice has been transformed from a law enforcement agency into a mechanism for carrying out whatever vendetta happens to be at the front of Trump’s raging mind at a given moment.
Bondi and other stooges, like “Judge” Jeanine #Pirro, understand they can hope to retain their positions only if,
and for so long as,
they pursue every baseless charge Trump demands a given moment,
whether that be against a former FBI director, a Fed governor, or a voting machine company.
The result is a DOJ that has descended into utter dysfunction in nearly every respect,
has lost its mission critical asset of credibility before the courts,
and survives largely as a means for Trump to express his ire.
🔸Second, the Department of Homeland Security’s “mass deportation” scheme
— and the huge and growing internal militia created to effectuate it
— rapidly became a more dramatic venue for Trump to give effect to his disordered and sadistic impulses.
Trump has long expressed a visceral desire to foment violence between city residents and police.
His deep attraction to such chaos and destruction was perhaps best expressed in a May 2020 tweet
— posted in the midst of the unrest in Minneapolis that followed George Floyd’s slow strangulation
— that declared
“when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
(It was properly flagged for glorifying violence.)
