I don’t know if Trump fixed the Middle East… but it’s been three whole days since anyone launched a holy war. That’s gotta count for something.
Join me (Matt McKinley), Aaron, Rob, and Tim as we recap one of the most chaotic weeks in recent geopolitical history with all the grace of a softball team that hasn’t played in eight years. Israel’s blowing up Iranian nuclear sites, Trump’s mashing Diet Coke buttons, Rob’s getting pegged by MTG in a hypothetical sex-for-peace deal, and somehow, we're still managing to laugh through the apocalypse.
We break down:
🇮🇱 Israel's surprise offensive on Iran (and why submarines might be cooler than we thought)
💣 Trump’s two-minute pressers and “obliterated” diplomacy
🤡 JD Vance’s nuclear button story & Rob’s slow descent into Trump-induced Stockholm syndrome
🏆 A Nobel Peace Prize for the guy who dropped 30,000 lb bunker busters?
🎯 Libertarians, regime change, and Captain Hindsight syndrome
👖 MTG, BJ buttons, and the congressional thirst trap that broke Rob
🧠 Biden’s slow fade and the myth of media objectivity
🕵️♂️ Conspiracy theories ranging from Iranian succession to Nazi villages in Argentina
And as always, the worst takes, best dick jokes, and absolutely zero journalistic integrity.
