It's hard to argue otherwise. Netanyahu had way more to gain from this war. (In fairness, Israel is a country with a neighbor who doesn't believe Israel should exist). But that's where Trump comes in: he's the only president in recent memory that is ignorant and narcissistic enough to talk into...

I wish we had another acronym so we don't associate that asshole with tacos. I eat tacos several times a week. They are one of my favorite foods. I don't get to eat pink tacos as much as I'd like, but I ate some last night and it looked and tasted delicious. In other words, every mention of...

And even if they do represent overall Iranian feelings, they have soured on this war because one perfect idiot and another criminal desperately avoiding jail time have botched everything. I befriended a guy at my gym late last year (gym buddy, not buddy buddy). It was only during the run up to...

From Noem to Bondi, these people are just Fall Guys. Donald Trump always finds someone to blame and it's never himself. His deportation plan was campaigned on by him, and Stephen Miller is executing it. Regardless of however one feels about immigration enforcement, it's important to be...

You do notice how all the former war cheerleaders have gone strangely silent right, EastWind? Like, just imagine now naive you have to be to think this guy is up to the task--any task. George W Bush was the foremost idiot as president before Trump, but at least he had competent yet...

I'm not gonna tell people not to protest. I've been to these (not in a while but still...). It's reassuring to not feel like a mad person to think everything happening is un-American, or at minimum contrary to all the high-minded ideals that built the country. But aside from the fact it's the...

Don't look at me. I often say that I've never voted for Trump and never will, but I can give someone a break in 2016 if they did. Within 2 years of his first term (far sooner but I'm in a generous mood), it was apparent that the troll voters got on that first campaign trail was the same troll as...

Ever since I've been able to vote at the tail end of the Clinton administration, I've been interested in politics. Presidents come, presidents go (some choose to try in power by falsely claiming rampant voter fraud) but typically the transition is usually routine with little fanfare from the...

Dementia is certainly part of it. His dad had it. But often times, the simplest explanation is the best: he lies and lies. While he's gotten worse, he has always been a prolific liar. Before he was president, he's lied about everything from the square footage of the property he was selling, the...

The most perfect shortcut to never being taken seriously (and showing one's cards as an apparatchik) is accusing anyone of "TDS." Opposing Trump isn't derangement. Opposing Trump is based on this thing called logical consistency and thinking pure ignorance and assholery have no place in a...

You can't put a square peg in a round hole. Who was the Stable Genius who blew up the JCPOA again? Even Trump's first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was trying to fix the Iran Deal rather than nuking it (pun unintended). I haven't even touched how Trump and town drunk Hegseth said Iran's...

I'm sure all the people who support preemptive war with Iran can explain all the different and contradicting reasons the Trump administration has given for the attack--if they can keep up with all of them, that is. When even George W Bush looks better for at least making a public case for war...

In men, there is no need for a distinction. Now, much like the economic concept of utility, the third or fourth orgasm in a row might not be as satisfying (much like donut #4 isn't as delicious as #1), but it's still an orgasm. The distinction is important in women. Evolutionary biology is...

(A) If I readily conceded--twice--that appearance in the files is not in and of itself evidence of wrongdoing, there's no logical connection of any sort to me making people guilty by association. (B) "Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this."...

I 100% agree with your first sentence and I said as much in the previous post. Just appearing in the files doesn't mean anything, but the context and what was said absolutely does. Of the few people who have stepped down from their posts or the public eye, like Larry Summers, CEO of Chuck E...
