I kind of assumed the dim bulbs in the White House thought they could order Automatic Patriotic Wartime Effect (APWE) the way you order pizza, then skipped all the steps like warming up the public and having a reason and a plan, and well it's not working and we're not forgetting the Epstein files.

This "war" did not do that' it showcased a madman out of control, whom hardly anyone supports. He's stuck with his dwindling set of fawning cultists.

If ever a. party deserved to be renamed the "Know-Nothing Party", this is the one.

I read somewhere that Pedoführer seriously believed he'd get Shrub post-9/11 approval ratings if there was a war, so he started one unprovoked.

Because he's a completely horrible person AND a giant fucking idiot.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume this mindset comes from their permanent media bubble of agree-ers and being way way too online, where basically the right post gets a million likes and that’s all it takes to win the persuasion battle (some might be fooled into thinking).

He is so desperate for a rally around the flag effect. Because he was born on Flag Day, he thinks of himself as a synecdoche of the flag, which he would like people to rally around. Sad.

None of them understand the part where you have to WORK for something.

They have all failed up.

The next time someone says, "failing will hurt feelings", the response is: "yes, and hurt feelings mean they learn".

In an administration of talentless and inexperienced tools, appointed on the basis of their slavering devotion, there are no career diplomats to successfully steer the US through a debacle of this (or any) magnitude.

Incredible as it seems, I agree that Trump intended to get a popularity boost from the war, before the mid-terms, and that may have been his main reason for drumming it up.

They just wanted to cash in on their insider trading. It's all about the grift.

I’m just glad to know that those two hours of weeding in the yard today ‘wasn’t for nothing’, after all. But the weeds, too, will be back ‘in two weeks’.

This is extra stupid because the president who did the "air superiority bombardment without committing ground troops" war in the region did not get a big approval boost and lost re-election.
