the physical architecture of the White House, the military, our weapons stocks, the international order…

But don’t worry folks, he’ll ruin everything else too: our healthcare, our standing in the international community, our universities, our status is an open and welcoming country, our status is a hub for research and innovation, the Kennedy Center, civil rights, our legal system,

How can I investigate? Fox News Weekend Pete fired all the JAGs and IG’s didn’t he?

Cuba will fall soon? I think Kennedy said that in April 1961.

We’ve already won?

Mission accomplished?

And firing all the JAGS and inspectors general wasn’t in any way an indication that we might be committing war crimes. 😐

Yeah and then start a war so that the price of oil shoots through the roof so that Russia gets rich again.

That’s not very new. They’ve been saying that for years

There’s already mission creep. We wanted to decapitate their leadership, destroy their rather mere navy, and make sure they didn’t have any nuclear weapons which Trump claimed six months ago to have β€œtotally obliteratedβ€œ anyway.

Now he wants β€œunconditional surrender”

It’s a shame we didn’t see this totally unnecessary war of choice coming so we could’ve set that system up in the Middle East well before we attacked Iran. You know, well before we killed all those little girls in that school for no goddamn reason. 😐

β€œAnd I didn’t even mind that he was a rapist and a convicted felon.” 😐

Yeah, and starting a war where oil prices shoot through the roof, so that Russia gets rich as shit, doesn’t help either.

Gee that’s a surprise.

It’s not like they were offering bounties to kill Americans in Afghanistan or anything

😐

Yeah next they’ll be surprised that China was sending anti-ship missiles to the Iranians just before the war started.
Wait till they hit a couple of our destroyers or an aircraft carrier.

You think we could’ve just supported Ukraine for the last year or so and skip these other two or three wars

A burger war? Will we be bombing a girls school too?

So we shouldn’t be surprised that immoral fascist thugs have a shitty budget.

The President of my book club is more presidential than Trump.

The Japanese didn’t even surrender to us unconditionally. They still have their emperor

And we’re still waiting for Hanoi to unconditionally surrender…

Didn’t Trump also demand that E. Jean Carol unconditionally surrender?

And aren’t we still waiting for North Vietnam to unconditionally surrender?

I think Trump demanded that E. Jean Carroll unconditionally surrendered too.

He expected unconditional surrender from E. Jean Carroll too.

He said that about E. Jean Carroll too.

Unconditional surrender? Isn’t that what he tried to do to E. Jean Carroll?

Six American families have to lay their sons & daughters to rest.

Several hundred Iranian families do too, but apparently they’re darker-hued, not Christian - & of course not American - so they don’t matter.

There was absolutely no reason for any of this. We went to war on the whim of a madman!
