WAG THE DOG

I have no doubt that Donald J Trump picked Suleimani from a list of possible targets for a very simple reason.

It's called getting the biggest bang for your buck.

It is counter programming. And as long as he can keep it going, one way or another, he will succeed in blunting the national conversation about impeachment while honing a jingoistic campaign for another four years.

Only a broad swath of activist groups -- along with fulsome news coverage -- may be able to change the conversation.


Unfortunately, that will most likely include a lot of national unrest. It would be 1968 again.
