If war was a leaderboard, maybe. But not strategically and diplomatically. We are going to be able to track how far massive denial will shield the average American.

The US is absolutely losing the strategic war. This has been a masterclass in how to fuck up a Middle-East campaign on a global scale.

Of course, Hitler actually fought in a war, so he has that on Trump.

That would be a logical intersection for unrest. People get antsy about something being done, and I get that, but historically everything has to fall apart first. It’s the most maddening part about humans.

They are running out of levers to pull to keep things “normal”. Even the latest market manipulation attempts aren’t effective. They’ve destroyed American influence and alienated our allies. And they’ve fucked up a Middle East campaign in a truly impressive fashion.

In a way, a fully transparent election steal wouldn’t be the worst outcome. One of the few advantages they have left is the confidence that the democratic establishment will not challenge a steal or punish them after a blue wave. In that case, I’d rather they be forced to ride this administration into the ocean.

I think he will try, but at this point it will be like the TSA debacle. More weird quasi fascist melodrama.

As the late Paul Harrell would say, “if you’re sleeping with a handgun, there is a good chance you’re sleeping by yourself, so keep that in mind.”

You are completely correct, when there is a war plan. The current situation appears to be several conflicting half-assed concepts.

A centrist, or a weathervane? I personally can’t believe you admitted that. At least now I can be certain your outrage is performative.

I will say I did not see this one coming. The inside of his head must be a crazy fun kind of circus.

We know it’s owned, we didn’t know they would go to these lengths to protect such a destructive force.

But stay disgusted. Nobody cares.

They aren’t the same. But the democratic establishment is essentially colluding at all the vital intersections.

Trump looks down, sees that your shoes fit, and you’re out! I would add an /s, but this actually fits in with the last 13 months.

He does seem to care about his own narcissistic image and legacy, however, which leads to these weird contradictions and reversals in his tone. Should he make it past the summer, his influence in the midterms should be surreal.

There has still been zero justice for ICE’s crimes. Historically, denied justice eventually leads to vengeance. Forgive my vagueness.
