Why the Trump administration is reluctant to call the ongoing conflict with Iran a ‘war’

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Why Trump Can't Keep Obama's Name Out Of His Mouth
....In 2009, researcher Niels van de Ven at Tilburg University published a landmark study on envy. His finding was that envy is not one emotion. It is two completely different ones that just happen to share a name.
The first is benign envy. This is the envy that makes you better. When you feel benign envy toward someone, you are motivated to work harder, improve yourself, and close the gap between where you are and where they are. It is painful but productive. It points you forward.
The second is malicious envy. This is the envy that makes you dangerous. When you feel malicious envy toward someone, you are not motivated to improve. You are motivated to destroy. You want to pull them down to your level because you have accepted, somewhere deep inside, that you will never reach theirs.
The difference between the two comes down to one thing. Whether you believe the gap can be closed.
Benign envy says the gap is closable. Keep going.
Malicious envy says the gap is permanent. Burn it down.

Monday’s Quick Hits
=======================
Comparative Egos
I’ve seen Trump Tower in downtown Chicago and it fits well with all the other great architecture there. Tasteful, which is not a word normally associated with Trump.
https://twitter.com/RealFletch17/status/2067741491250794847
I have not seen the Obamanation in person and since it’s out West in the city I doubt I ever will. Even Chicago Democrats are rolling their eyes at this thing. It would be cool if somebody with money built two or three copies of Imperial Walkers and placed them on the boundaries of the park.

More British Lies and Horrors
I generally ignore Great Britain. The last time I paid attention was back during the great Brexit fight, with a few side posts on Boris Johnson’s lockdown insanity.
But the fact is that the grooming rape gang stuff is at least as big an issue because it goes far beyond numbers, reaching into the meaning and heart of what it means to live in a modern civilised nation.
And so…
=======================
“Racist, Racist, Racist.…” Wait. Why isn’t this working anymore?
Said no Lefty ever.

=======================
More Musk Hate
You see, this is who they really hate, so much so that they have no hate left for migrant rapists of children.
And the joke is that Musk is having the time of his life because he’s doing what he always wanted to do, and gets rich in the process.

I can’t help thinking that whoever wrote that headline, and perhaps the whole article, is suffering from what Mr Black identified years ago – projection in IMAX with full Dolby Surround Sound. after all, given the state of journalism today what journalist wouldn’t be a miserable, unloved, unhappy deadbeat – and most definitely not cool.

President Obama talked about the power of our shared values.
“And it’s why the exhibits here focus not just on policies but on the shared values that make democracy possible. A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law or beneath its protection. A belief in checks and balances in our government, and an accountability that comes with an independent judiciary, and a robust free press. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time. And a belief that qualities of character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor, those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives.”

As one out of hundreds of thousands in Chicago’s Grant Park who danced, cried tears of joy, and hugged strangers the night he won, I miss this entire family so much. 💔😔 No hate, grifting or scandals. How far we have fallen. 💔 #FLOTUSMichelle #PresidentObama #ObamaAppreciationDay #TanSuitDay #FDT
> The autocrats’ anxiety is entirely justified. Comedy is their kryptonite. They rule by intimidation, and when we laugh at them, their power to scare us evaporates. As Mark Twain wrote in The Mysterious Stranger, “Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
Which brings me to Stephen Colbert, who hosts his final “Late Show” tonight. ...
I seriously doubt tonight’s farewell episode is the last we’ll hear from the indefatigably creative Colbert, who will likely move to a new platform where he’ll enjoy more freedom and financial success than he had at CBS.

The Obama Presidential Center
"You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

As seen on BlueSky: (not exact phrasing) VP Harris told us there would be a manufactured war. Diplomacy was working. Netanyahu the war criminal couldn’t stand that and Trump is his pawn and needed a distraction from Epstein info - thus the strike in Iran. 🤬 Me: Didn’t we have a whole bunch of smart people who worked for the smart #PresidentObama who negotiated a treaty with Iran which was working??😡
