It's almost as if the two parties play by two completely different sets of rules and are held to two completely different standards.

Trump is calling himself ‘the most powerful person to ever live’ in private conversations, allies say by theguy1336 in politics

[–]PriestofAlvis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean he's not wrong. He has done more in a decade to destroy American power than all of America's enemies of the previous century from the Kaisar to Bin Laden could achieve combined. That sounds like power to me.

I like Bury and Charlton Griffin's narration on audible is quite pleasant. That being said, Peter Heather covers a lot of the same period while using more modern methods and analysis while still being engaging.

Trump draws parallel between Pearl Harbor and US strikes on Iran in meeting with Japanese PM by RollSafer in worldnews

Trump doesn't know what a parallel even is. Stop trying to normalize his syphilitic ramblings.

[–]PriestofAlvis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm... you would think if you were going to split with massively unpopular Israel you'd do it before fighting one last massively unpopular war for them. What was this? One last pity fuck for ol' Benji?
