OMG, sounds like Pedocon's gonna send in ground troops.

Hogsbreath just said “we will control Iran soon.” Can’t do that from the air.

He’s going to fuck up the fuck up.

They once had power. But they gave it away and it's not coming back. Not any time soon.

Things really are different now and we need to get used to that fact

(ETA: Sorry ro be so negarive but I firmly belive that the guardrails are gone and we do ourselves harm expecting them to save us from any of this.)

The entire body is hopelessly inert. That;s what happes when we elect complete whores, zombies and crackpots and expect them to be statesmen.

If the American fuhrer orders strikes on Cuba or on Greeenland, will our military leaders discover their integrity to refuse? Will the rank and file soldiers refuse?
