President Trump has taken a shine to referring to his war against Iran as an "excursion." That word calls to mind a mundane occurrence that is no cause for concern and will soon be over—which presumably is what he hopes.
Let's think about a few examples of the word excursion.
Quick trip to the convenience store to buy a sixpack? Excursion.
Summer weekend trip to the beach? Excursion.
Motorcycle ride to the grocery store to get some baking potatoes for dinner? Yup, excursion. You get the picture.
It's actually kind of clever that he makes it seem like a "non-event" while of course it would be a complete disaster if Joe Biden did it.
We've used the "shiny penny" image before but we thought it'd be fun to trot it out once again. Clearly the war is serving as a shiny penny that helps divert attention away from the Epstein files. Sadly, it's working as the scheming rat planned.
Oh, as long as we have your attention: the frequency of our posts has dropped recently as Klugmeister has recently been out trying to build an online presence on Medium for his writing and for the klugness website. One of his latest Medium stories is Donald Trump Introduces Tremendous New Ice Cream Flavors . That's one of a handful of stories he's recently written on Doctor Funny , a humor publication on Medium.
Like most of the other writers on Medium, Klugmeister posts behind a paywall so you won't generally be able to read all his stories unless you join Medium, but you should be able to access the ice cream story using the "friends" link that Klugmeister included above.
