I mean, it brought at least two people together.

Also a decent chance it was the premature detonation of a device Trump was having delivered to those mean old jerks at the Nobel Prize committee.

Hell, they won’t even acknowledge that access to clean water is a human right. You can’t just drink what Nestle owns the right to sell you!

In a stunning turn of events, Iran reveals rather than nukes they spent decades developing the ultimate WMD, Mega Maid.

My neighbor is a Vietnam era Marine. Looking at him you’d expect him to be that kind of guy. We live in a neighborhood with a large Hispanic population and have been having problems with wannabe ICE cruising around trying to identify homes where they live. Watched old boy stroll out of his house casually strapped (open carry state) and up to a car load of cousin fuckers who he sent skittering when they stopped to harass our Hispanic neighbor’s kids. Ironically the dad of the kids they were there to harass is a “Fuck Your Feelings” flag-waving Trumper 🙄

Much like the Sequels, there’s no long term plot for this war so bringing back familiar characters is easier on the audience. I expect to find out Soleimani survived and now has a pair of bionic legs.

It’s how we got Rambo III.

They’ll pass any loss on to the American people, whether that’s jacking up prices or the government bailing them out with our tax dollars. What remains to be seen is just how much his average supporters will tolerate and justify until the cost to them becomes unbearable. I hope more nations follow this lead; cut us off or get him to cut your nation off, strangle us economically and make us a pariah on the global stage. His loyalists and bots and foreign bad actors may be a loud minority on the internet, but they’re still a minority and getting a free pass to be a western male chauvinist isn’t going to keep party-line voters content when their businesses fail, their mortgages default, and their kids start dying in Iran.

My evangelical parents got wrapped up in this line of thinking in the 90s right around the time teenage me was becoming disillusioned with the indoctrination I’d been raised in. Classic “end of the Millennium” fears and the hope they could jumpstart Armageddon convinced them to send money to Christian charities who supposedly then paid to move poor Jewish people in former Soviet states to Israel. Sure God was going to destroy the Earth in 10000 years, but oops, guess y’all forced his hand!
