Madman Across the Water

Donald Trump is threatening and intimidating the rest of the world as if they were Republicans. That's just the way he "negotiates", they say.

The bully of the world is now threatening to blow up an entire civilization.

Should his words be taken seriously? Will the military follow his orders if he commands them to drop a small nuclear weapon on Tehran?

Is that a crazy question to ask?

When it happens, are Republicans just going to look at each other and say, "we had no idea".

We need an intervention.

Congress is on vacation! Now of all times!
They all lay prostrate before the orange shitgobbon who seemingly controls their every whim.
I never imagined our government could turn this chickenshit, this rapidly.
I was so wrong

There are no checks and balances.
It was all held together with spit and a prayer.

The US does not have the moral high ground.
Underneath the lovely veneer we are racist, sexist criminals.
