Spring Cleaning 2026 - #ContextAndPerspective on #war
#Iraq / #IranFrom my 'time capsule', some actual #truth and #history -
News Headlines from 25 Years Ago
Notes:
1) 25 years ago (in 'normal' times) Congress DID seek approval for a war ✓
2) Humans, much less sub-humans, tend to 'get it wrong' in predictions of duration or ease of conflicts ✓
3) Iran was not "easy" to contain, not for #Reagan, not for #Bush, and not for the delusional Toddler #King #TrumpVirus ✓
Have we learned?

Nice little thread here, now, on #ContextAndPerspective re: #Melania, #TrumpVirus, & #TrumpEpsteinFiles
I sort of agree with the journalist(s) saying the actual "who introduced them" question is not as important as the larger picture, the immigration/brides-by-order, girls/young women for sale, and money laundering and transfer network, and how that intersected banks, 'financial advisors' like #Epstein, the #TrumpOrg cash businesses (and vanishing casino cash!), etc., etc.

[Robert Reich: How to Live Beyond 80 - My Problem With Aging](https://robertreich.substack.com/p/my-problem-with-aging?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv0) -
" Let me be very candid with you. I’ll be 80 in June.
Eighty!
<...>
Now I’m about to become a fossil from a different time.
Trump will reach 80 ten days before me, but that’s small comfort. He’s not just a fossil. He’s a neanderthal with a reptilian brain. I’m embarrassed he and I are of the same generation."

From the #ContextAndPerspective Department - #TrumpVirus #truth
> Pam Bondi Didn't Ruin The Justice Department Fast Enough For Donald Trump
> Don't expect the president to give up his thirst for revenge.
Thin-slice:
“Trump will not appoint anyone of character, and as evil as #Bondi was, she wasn’t evil enough for Trump,” said Ty Cobb.... “He will search for someone who is.” 🎯

Sympathy vs. Empathy
For some maybe it's only semantics, and others may not care about either or know the difference.
But in #psychotherapy and human relationships, there is a distinction.
Anyway, this is from a colleague/friend (from Russia) who travels the world (on a Genius grant) as performer and director of the International Playback Theater
I can't translate her cartoon; Maybe someone can?
