I set my expectations at rock bottom. The problem is that no matter how low I set them, somehow the universe drops through the floor.
1. There are unconfirmed reports that Qasem Soleimani commander of Qods Force (Iran's external security agency) has been killed in drone strikes. If true, this will be a major moment in US-Iran relations & Supreme Leader will undoubtedly see this as a major provocation/act of war pic.twitter.com/nLZNbvalsT

Surprise! The reports have been confirmed by Iranian news sources. As for that bit about whether the US is responsible…
17. Breaking: The Pentagon has released a statement that "at the direction of the President " the United States has killed Qasem Soleimani

Yes, it is. Our country has committed a bloody assassination of a major figure in Iran, an attack launched at our idiot president’s order and unauthorized by congress. This will have repercussions.
I wonder if impeachment has destabilized our president as much as our president’s actions have destabilized the Middle East? We’re living in a madhouse.
