Let's begin where Karoline Leavitt began: with God. Specifically, with a solemn prayer, shared between her and her staff members just offstage before she started today’s Iran war-heavy press briefing by boasting about killing people who lie to Donald Trump.
"Could you hear our amen in there?" she asked White House reporters, as she walked out, which is not a question you usually expect from a government spokesperson in a constitutional democracy, but anyway. The Lord has entered the briefing room. He is, one gathers, extremely supportive of Operation Epic Fury. It’s a name surely picked out from the Bible.
