    But he’s personally making money so he thinks its fine. This is what electing a maximum selfish person gets you, America, ya fucking morons. Being selfish is literally being stupid.

      He’s also being fed 2 min highlight reels of bombings for his daily briefings and enters Mar a Lago to a clapping crowd each time he goes back so he has no clue what’s happening outside his little bubble.

        This comment puts me in a nuclear disaster state of mind.

        I’ve seen two world leaders giving interviews about nuclear disasters, Gorbachev about Chernobyl, and Naoto Kan about Fukushima. Both of them talked about how they couldn’t get decent information to base decisions on because people kept blowing sunshine up their asses. That it doesn’t really matter how much or little top leadership wants to or can help, layers of functionaries afraid of losing their cushions will delay and downplay until it’s too late.

        That’s…not what’s happening in the executive branch.

    Made a martyr of an 86 year old zealot while he was sitting at a negotiation table, invigorating his supporters and poisoning any hope of talks.

    They think they can bomb their way out of this situation, but the fact that they had to resort to such an attack to get to the Ayatollah signals a lack of confidence in being able to get him if he went to ground.
