So I guess yesterday's Iran drama and chaos worked

[senseandsensibility]

It was quite the spectacle. Rubio declared "Operation Epic Fury" over, and we were now in "Project Freedom". He is the Secretary of State in case anyone has understandably forgotten. But apparently his words as the SOS are meaningless because shortly after that he was refuted by Hegseth who said it was not over. Then always glad to add to the confusion, trump said that the newly announced "Project Freedom" was "on pause".

So what if anything actually happened? Well, the media dutifully chased after each twist and turn, reporting it all as though it were real breaking news. And what did that do?

Simple. It changed the narrative from the sixty-day deadline for combat operations that needs to be approved by congress. Although the deadline is still expired, by saying that "Operation Epic Fury: is over the administration is obviously trying to skirt that. No one is talking about it now.

How easily the media is gaslit. And the reality show they fall for doesn't even have to make sense or be well executed. In this case, it was neither.

1. The media didn't fall for anything.

Nor were they gaslit. They’re serving their purpose as the organ of the ruling class. They’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing.

At some point we have to collectively figure this out.

2. Is it really over?

I haven’t looked for any maga responses online, like “See, see, i told you trump was playing the long game, and now oil is plunging”.

Still this feels like a roller coaster ride, instead of any credible stability. We are living in insane times!

3. Rubio lies like trump and Whiskey Pete.

What happen to the War Powers 60 day limits, anybody, republican or democrat ?

7. Full of sound and fury

signifying nothing indeed. A story as old as time and it tragic that it still works with so many.
