The Long Road Out

Thank you The Guardian!!! These morons are standing naked in front of us as they incinerate the planet. The first lesson of war is 'know your enemy' – and Britain's enemy now is Donald Trump https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/08/iran-war-keir-starmer-donald-trump-us-israel?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The US has now killed more Iranian civilians than the Ayatollah did in his attempt to put down the protesters.   Way to go, Pete and Don…you guys are brilliant and I appreciate how much you're accelerating my until-now unrealized wish for more dead people, sooner.   Correction—you two suck as human beings.  I'm ashamed to be the same species as you.  

It would seem self-evident that a third party who murders a country's leader would be perceived as worse than the original problem.  You're still under some one else's drones and jackboots—and your friends and neighbors continue to die at the same rate.  Plus, whatever structure that did exist is now ruined.   In the case of Trump's idiocy—within one week, the US military will have killed more Iranian citizens than Khameini did.    Try try try (this will be hard for you) to answer this question:  If your daughter is blown up in a square, do you think you feel better if:   The drone came from a religious fanatic, or The drone came from a duped proxy from Israel?   Ask the leaders of Iran's opposition—they want self-governance.    Ask voters in the US. Honestly, if you are in that category, full of cerebral wisdom that's never seen the barrel of a drone, I have to inform you that the rest of the world doesn't g...

If Trump were killed tonight in a cowardly drone strike—let's say by Bolivarian independence forces from Chile—52% of our sad country would be on the streets having the party of their lives. I would join them. I would not celebrate, even though Trump is an asshole. What we are doing is unconscionable. Another 50 years added to the hatred that has destroyed the Middle East. Further aligning the US with the lowest standards of humanity on the globe. Remember Libya? We're in their ideological company. Murdering people is NOT " geopolitics." It's murder. It's illegal. Our allies are gone on this one. We are alone, and at 9-11 level risk forever now.

That's my response to Trump and his latest moronic breach of human decency and international law and cognitive function. This is murder. Book him Dano. And Schumer and what's his name—that other Democratic guy? Fuck you two, also. I'm embarrassed to be human, with losers like you on the planet.

I was married to someone for a long time who needed to be the belle of the ball. So—she avoided any group where she wasn't already chief raconteur. If she got stuck in a group that didn't accept her as the sun, she wilted and disappeared. So—she usually dominated group activities for the first 50 minutes, speaking faster and more loudly if she perceived another person raising a hand (like her bullied mother). So, she's certain she's a brilliant entertainer, writer, and speaker. Yuck. Why did I put up with this crap? How nice to spend friendship and romantic time with new friends who recognize that their words often fail to capture the immensity of human experience. The infinitude of potential meaning. Words that come from the heart and ears first. Then the cerebral interventions, second.
