I sometimes write playful screenplays about very capable people in extremely high pressure situations often playing out their internal damage on the world.

Secretary of State, National Security Advisor Secretary of Defense, Vice President, Attorney General and President of the United States mere hours after what no one could say wasn’t a decapitation strike on the US (attack meant to remove the leadership of a country all at once) are optionally all within 20 feet of each other during a war because the US Secret Service is inexplicably behaving as if the threat has passed.

Because they planned it? Or they’re horrifyingly reckless?

I sound like a mad conspiracy theorist: If you were president, and trying to set yourself up to never leave office, and to compromise midterms, you might want to, say, gather the entire White House press corps into a room in the hotel Regan got shot outside of for an event you normally never go to and have the USSS aim guns at them to help them understand the consequences for crossing you.

I hate I can’t believe this admin at all. I hate that they have earned our mistrust this far.

Mike Reid, who served as chief science officer for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, has quit the position because the State Department is considering withholding assistance from people with HIV in Zambia to push the country into signing a favorable ⁠critical-minerals deal with the U.S. (hand to ear as if getting an update) I’m now hearing: the United States is the bad guys.

On March 25th, the President said Iran’s navy is "completely obliterated." Yesterday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards seized two vessels near the strait of Hormuz and escorted them to Iranian shores. So the good news is: they can walk on water!

Amazon got caught price-fixing with Levi’s, Home Depot, Walmart and others. When reached for comment, Jeff Bezos said, β€œwhatever, poors, keep buying my shit: I’m wanna go to space!” The good news is: pitchfork sales are about to skyrocket.

"The flu killed 15,849 U.S. soldiers in France and another 30,000 in stateside camps. That’s 45,849 killed by the flu versus 26,277 killed at Meuse-Argonne β€” documenting that the flu was by far our most deadly battle.

More civilians (over 50 million) died from the flu than from both World Wars and the Holocaust combined. Another 500 million civilians were incapacitated by the flu."

Obama negotiates JCPOA w/Iran: partly unfreezes $2 billion Iran cash to gets rid of uranium. Strait is open, international waters.

President Rottinghands McRagebaby tears up JCPOA, spends billions, gets people killed, then gives Iran _10x_ ($20 billion) to get uranium back to JCPOA levels, and Iran claims some of control over Strait.

An almost unimaginable failure: militarily, economically, navigationally, morally, politically; made things worse for US in every way possible.

"We're told that if we don't say yes, we're driving away the future. But that's a false choice. A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people…[but] only hires about 10 people is not an employer. They are an extraction. We are being asked to fund a 21st century luxury with a 19th century resource heist."
