Repeat after me [View all]

Regarding the war in Iran, we are being gaslit in a one-two punch from trump and the corporate media daily. But gaslighting only works if you allow it. And I will not allow it. I will only acknowledge what this administration does, not what it says, which is always nonsense and/or propaganda.

This morning we are facing a fresh batch of BS. Talks are on, peace is around the corner, Iran is going to be the fifty first state, things could go either way, we'll see, there will be some news today, trump's 50/50 on a deal or bombs, all in the space of one morning.
And forget the weeks of this insanity leading up to today.

I will ignore it all no matter how credulously the corporate media reports it, and even doubly so if it comes from the administration.

I choose not to partake of the show, which actually is not even entertaining or distracting. It long ago reached the boring stage.
