Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: β€œanother war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.

Trump is going to murder as many people as he can before whatever is eating his skins does him in.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

lmao could he give less of a shit

Noem getting curbed and the cascading downstream impacts including making republicans now have to spend political and monetary capital to conform MWM, replace him as a sitting senator (my understanding is that anybody appointed to his seat cannot run for the seat), etc. is most definitely good news.

Wasn't Rex Tillerson on the toilet when he found out he was being fired as Secretary of State?

These men have no emotional control. They become disproportionately violent when challenged. Our society is filled with defective men and they are destroying our world.

"I want to give you a chance to answer on the record" is a sentence used by people that have proof of the accusations in question, and want to make it abundantly clear that you had every opportunity to come clean prior to the Find Out stage.

The thing with Trump is - since he's starting to realize he does not get to live forever he will just take us all down with him. He doesn't perceive the rest of us as having real human lives that matter in any way once we're no longer useful to him personally
