The Long Road Out

Before this week, the most famous Catholic to have his house burned down by the KKK was Dean Martin. Leo—buy more fire extinguishers. MAGA is coming after you because Don told them to. Remember Dean Martin. But please stay strong. You are speaking the truth. You understand geopolitics and our Klansman in Chief doesn’t understand shit. Neither does STD Vance but that’s a different issue.

Why is the invasion of Iran not treason? Why are the leaders who initiated this not indicted? If the essence of treason is putting another country’s interests before our own in a way that hurts us,” explain the lack of arrests. There is only one country on the planet that benefits from reducing Iran and Lebanon to dust. The other 181 countries lose status, rule of law, economic and social growth, safety, peace—you name it. Trade partnerships are ruined. Trump has acted in the interest of Netananyu. He has irreparably harmed the United States. Every other country on this fragile planet side with peace, or Iran directly. Fuck you Don. Treason. It’s punishable by death.

Ben’s in year four of his bloodletting, and he finally suckered Don into pouring more gasoline on the civilians of the region.  But Don only lasted a month…less than 5% of the whole murderous campaign.   And now Ben’s stuck for two weeks—he’s supposed to stop assassinating people in Iran. (Actually only for 13 more days and then business as usual).   Fortunately, he’s now going back to pummel Lebanon and the 12 square miles of Palestine where the remaining citizens abide in daily fear and hunger.  So many populations to decimate for the 100 th time.   And Don has just stripped to his underwear…the whole world including Israel know he’s an empty untrustworthy fraud.   Ben will soldier on, as he always does.  He didn’t need Don, and he doesn’t now.  Imagine how Ben describes Don to his friends!!!!    He’s probably on the secret Slack channel...

As the rest of the world knows, the US is not an ally.  At best we’re simply arrogant bullies.  At worst we are proponents of global apocalypse.  We suck as friends, and we’re easy targets for anyone who disdains us.  Trump embodies what the rest of the world knows about the United States.  He’s only a surprise to us…how easy his incompetence has become all we have left.   So—point of pride—to the leaders of the EU, UK and Canada:  Kick us out of NATO today.  You have the power in your grasp to form a truly stable and depolarized future for yourselves now.    You know how it ends with Trump…more flaccid hectoring from the least self-aware fascist on the planet and his KKK/MAGA/fundamentalist friends.   

Trump is now directly reducing quality of life for nearly every person on the planet.  Either by killing them, exposing them to environmental disaster, or simply by increasing their cost of living by 25% in a month.  Quite an accomplishment.   And like all narcissists, he’s gaslighting, blaming and dumping our friends.   Today’s repetition of “I’m sulking and I’m going to leave NATO” raises some hope that NATO will fire Trump tonight.  NATO isn’t weak.  Trump is.  Read the European press.  (Europe has long reason to know that the US never shows up when needed, and then takes all the credit when it randomly appears—think FDR backstabbing everyone to appease Stalin.)   Anyway—for the record—Trump doesn’t know this, but NATO requires that members join battles in member states.  Israel isn’t a member.    This fuck-stupid murderous invasion of Iran is not...
