    What’s really wild is it’s almost 23 years on the nose since the war in Iraq started on March 20th, 2003.

    Bush and the military apparatus at the time was willing to at least pretend they had legitimacy by calling it “Operation Iraqi Freedom” whereas “Operation Epic Fury” just describes Trump throwing ketchup covered plates at the wall because he’s an irrationally angry bitch baby.

      I had no idea it was called “epic fury” until NPR mentioned it during morning edition today. I almost crashed my car laughing at that Idiocracy-ass name.

      That shit sounds like an energy drink for dudes with restraining orders.
