If you’re reading this post this afternoon and you happen to be Iranian, congratulations. Your civilization didn’t die last night. I know it got a little bit dicey there for a minute, what with President Donald Trump promising that full-scale Armageddon would arrive at the stroke of 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday night. But Donald Trump’s arbitrary deadline came and went last evening and you and I are still here. The nation of Iran is also, thankfully, still here.

And it has kicked Trump’s sorry ass up and down the block.

      My guess is he probably already wanted to push it, but was convinced not to when a Russian diplomat told him that Mar A Lago was added to their list of retaliatory nuke targets.

      I think if it’s ever gonna happen, the one thing that could push him to try would be news articles like this accurately shaming him.

      I hope it he tries, the military just does a coup already.
