This week, after it went unreported on mainstream media that Israel destroyed a synagogue in Iran, Trump doubled down on the US-Israeli threat to Iranian civilization:
“I could take out Iran in one day. In one hour, I could have their entire energy, everything. And the other thing you take out are their bridges. I took out one just to show them."
Which means that this week’s Sunday shows have Republicans scrambling to cover for Trump’s increasingly unpopular war of aggression that has set fire to oil prices and the global economy.
In one of our favorite clips from last week’s Friday Free-For-All, a CNBC anchor asked her guest: “President Trump has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?”
So to answer this ridiculous question comes a cavalry of panicked Republicans like Mike Turner, who once again sputters through an interview, managing to get enough words out to claim that Americans wouldn’t prefer “lower gas prices” to the made-up threat of “Iran becoming a nuclear state,” Tim Burchett, Ron Johnson, and more hapless Republicans who aren’t doing much to help sway the voters.
Plus, we’re making fun of Israeli Ambassador Michael Leiter who’s now attacking the loyal New York Times, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken who’s trying to slip out of the blame for enabling Israel to begin it’s genocidal tirade, and NBC’s Kristen Welker for getting absolutely wrecked by Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel in an embarrassing exclusive interview.
