I mean name me the GOP administration that wasn't a clown car like this? I never give libs much smoke when they talk about the competence gap between the two parties because they're more or less right. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Trump isn't the closest thing to Hitler we've had in America because he is - but in terms of "the government is broken, everything is falling apart, these guys can't even handle basic administration" this is literally what every GOP President I've seen does...

And the other shoe drops - why isn't Trump worried about elections? Because he's been setting it up in the background so SCOTUS can rig the election at the stroke of a pen - a decision that will no doubt come randomly, in the dead of night, when nobody is expecting it.

If Trump's math is right and he/the GOP win minus mail in ballots, this alone would be enough to ensure long-term one party rule.

Brey, I looked for another way. You have this idea about me that I'm just REALLY EXCITED about shit jumping off and looking forward to an opportunity to break out my Che beret and an AK-47 and it's nonsense.

I'm a teacher, a writer, a fucking nerd. I don't want to kill anyone, I don't love violence, and I'm not into change because I'm fucking bored son.

I looked. I looked at every possible way out of this *points to boiling hellworld owned entirely by Nazis" and there was only 1 answer.

You live in a society where we're all prepared to pay good money for someone else to make us a fine meal, it will be the highlight of your day, and you might post about it on Instagram, but you're also encouraged to believe that service economy jobs are essentially a class-based social obligation and asking to be paid a living wage for doing them is the most unseemly form of greed.

Brey, they got you so twisted up you don't even know what time it is.

Holy shit folks, I have found the single biggest waste of digital ink ever produced by human minds.

Like, tell me you do not have real problems without actually using those words tho...

It is extremely good Trump lost his Iran war. Please keep in mind what he did after the Venezuela illegal kidnapping operation went off without a hitch (because our CIA had turned half of Maduro's government already) - yeah, he immediately started another war.

As such I can't really with the complaining about the terms some of you are doing - point out that its his fault we're here? Cool. Pretend Iran owed us more after we attacked them? Absurd.

Unrelated - they published another Simon Jenkins piece in the Guardian and you will be unsurprised to hear that it's Greenwald-coded as hell. This dude a Bone.
