"Ok Google. Send a tweet to xhitter. Say...

I am going to put certain WORDS in CAPS to accentuate them for REASONS that no one can really understand. Then I'm going to SPOUT bullshit about the traitors flying high miles away from any DANGER but I'll laughingly call them HEROIC and PATRIOTIC.
Then I'll touch my little mushroom peepee and do a nazi salute to MYSELF in the MIRROR.
Thank you for your attention to my EGO!!!

Send tweet.

When Bush got the US into a war in the middle east, he at least did it after a terrorist attack on the US (which had nothing to do with Iraq, but he was able to fudge that part), and as a result of the stupidity of Americans, he had a 60+% approval rating at the time.

Trump didn't even manage a false flag or anything, as a result, a lot of conservatives are pissed off about this. Probably not enough to crack the MAGA coalition, but every little bit chipped away from it helps. With margins in the senate and house so close, it's actually possible that he could be stopped by congress and the US doesn't become a failed state, instead merely becoming an illiberal democracy.

But, what I wonder is if this will actually win him any converts from the Democratic side. I bet there are ultra pro-Israel people who were formerly Democrats who actually think this is a good idea, and will now start supporting Trump. Still, I think he's going to lose 90 MAGAs for every 10 Democrats he gains.

The Senate and the House need to do something for margins to matter though.

Any member of the US army is a criminal, you are not defending your nation, you are attacking another one.

To be fair, it was probably the US Air Force, not the Army, who flew the planes and dropped the bombs...

Hopefully this doesn’t backfire af on American civilians..

Sorry, but I hope it does. Aggression must have consequences, or there is no justice.

Because civilians are always the most worthy and deserving target of state-sanctioned violence.
