    Because of his own personal shortcomings. And he was put there because of our personal shortcomings. And he remains there because of Congress’s personal shortcomings. And I complain from my couch because of my personal shortcomings. Everything’s coming up short.

      Every accusation a confession. Every. Fucking. Time

        I don’t think he was even considering running at that point. Hillary and Bill didn’t suggest that he run on the Republican ticket until 2015-2016. I still think his plan was to lose and get richer on books and interviews complaining about losing. His reaction, and the reaction of his family, on election night 2016 wasn’t one of happiness and relief.

          He just seemed so bothered by all the responsibilities at the start too, like I remember him genuinely complaining several times about all the meetings and stuff he had to do.

          Even if he wasn’t planning on it, the thought process always seems to be there. “They’re going to round us up into camps (because that’s what I would do in that position)” “They’re going to start a war to stay in power (because that’s what I would do in that position)”. Regardless of actual position or power, the vile thoughts of these people always seem to leak out in the form of an accusation.

    In attempting to eliminate the alleged regional threat that Iran poses, Trump is inviting an even greater threat to the world. For there is simply no more dangerous world than one filled with nuclear weapons.

    Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the future. He only cares about himself. And while it’s taking his sweet time about it, he is aware that his meat sack will eventually rot away, so he can’t waste time.

    He doesn’t care about making the world a safer place for his children, and their children. He wants people to respect and fear him, now! The military is an extension of his tiny hands, and he’s letting us know he can grab us all by the pussy, because when you’re the President they let you do it.

    Trump Just Made the World Much More Dangerous

    Again.

    And a week later he will find another way to make things even worse.

    .

    This pattern will repeat until he is no longer in power. (And depending on who replaces him it could accelerate from there)

    I mean I don’t support the attacks, but I also am not going to pretend I think the world isnt better now that Iran’s leader is dead.

      How do you expect it to help though? Killing a leader without a plan has not historically tended to lead to things getting better. What do you see improving as a result of this?

      86-yo leader is dead. A younger one is in the making. The missiles are in path. ~80 children died yesterday by a USA-Israel strike. The world is not a better place without them, even if you hated the guts of Khamenei for some reason.
