Our foreign policy at the moment is being administered by a Kansas religious fanatic who believes that “the Rapture” could happen at any moment. Things could hardly get any crazier. Or any more dangerous.
Anyone with any intelligence in this administration is totally powerless to use their abilities. There are so many sycophants sucking up to Trump, and others who have realized how easy he is to manipulate, that it is just a giant free-for-all. No plan, no strategy, just making it up on the fly.
Only a Trump-worshipping right-wing clown would be delusional enough not to recognize that buying Cub merchandise or subscribing to their new cable channel puts money in the pockets of the Trump-worshipping Ricketts family and arch-conservative Sinclair Broadcasting, and from there it goes right into Trump’s pocket, where he can either just keep it or use it to spew his unique brand of lies and hatred. But of course Trump-worshipping, delusional, right-wing clowns think that’s all just wonderful.
When the climate change crowd comes up with a way to stop earthquakes and volcanoes from happening, then I will be the first to jump on the band wagon and believe every word of their nonsense. Just three volcanoes in history have released more CO2 than since man stepped on the planet — Indonesia (1883), Alaska (1912), and Iceland (1947). You leftists out there, please reveal your plans for that and you’ve got me!
The reason pot is still illegal in Indiana is money. Money for courts, for attorneys, and for prisons. Follow the money, my friends.
Trump doesn’t care when our own children are gunned down and murdered at their own schools, why would he care about sending someone’s children to a foreign country for a potential war?
Trump has spent his entire time in office dismantling our foreign service corps, firing our career diplomatic staff, and antagonizing our allies. There is no off-ramp on this highway to hell. His narcissism and mental instability will not allow him to back off, or seek help.
Trump said when I’m elected all the troops will be home in six months. He didn’t. Then he said I’m pulling the troops out of Syria. He didn’t. He just moved them north. Now he’s putting thousands more troops into Iraq. When will the cult stop supporting this liar?
The Speaker of the House, called “Crazy Nancy” by our distinguished president, had it exactly right when she observed that the framers of our constitution never could have envisioned that we would have a lawless president and a lawless majority leader of the senate at the same time. She might have added that they could hardly have predicted having a lawless attorney general at the same time too.
We just might have begun to think that we would survive Trump’s presidency without him committing some kind of totally stupid act that would get us into a war. Well, guess again. He’s done it, and now we have to suffer the consequences. Thanks to all you millions who voted for this incompetent thug because he would “shake things up,” and “drain the swamp.” Nice going, idiots.
This morning I learned Trump supporters don’t know the Ricketts family, who owns the Cubs, are Trump supporters who fundraise for the Orange Moron. Trump did say he loves the uneducated, come to think of it.
I have no issue with our taking out that scumbag Iranian general. The problem, though, is that he has already been replaced. Whatever terrorist attacks he was planning will still go on as planned. If Bush had invaded Iran instead of Iraq, most of our middle east problems would have been solved. The only solution now is to totally withdraw from the Middle East and let the various countries and factions fight it out among themselves. We don’t need to lose any more of our great troops in a no-win situation. We also don’t need their oil. Let Russia get bogged down over there like they did in Afghanistan in the 80’s.
