Or Something

Hand to God, the last time I heard the U.S. government being this stupid was during the Vietnam War.

It’s days like this I do feel like maybe I’ve lived too long. History looping this soon is a bit much.
Or maybe it’s not looping, it’s just scratched and the needle keeps skipping at the same point.

Trump’s narcissistic ego really is a wonder to behold. In a way that makes you shudder and weep for humanity, like Rachel weeping for her children, because they were no more.
  Can someone explain to me the difference between “Israel’s right to exist” and Hitler’s lebensraum? Because I’m really not seeing it anymore. "Return of the messiah”? He’s not even pretending to talk to Israel, is he?
Talarico: "Here's why they're doing this. There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis crushing the middle class. There's a secret pedophile ring and no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"
He has a succinct way of putting things. Trump will wear another golf cap to Dover. And wonder again why all the bodies come to Dover.
Hegseth: "Some in the press just can't stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, headlines -- I used to be in that business, I know everything is written intentionally. For example, a banner -- 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should the banner read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate,' because they are. Or more fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
Another callback to Vietnam; although we had to get more than a decade in to that war for this kind of desperation to surface.

And interestingly, no mention of how we’re going to get oil through the Strait of Hormuz. I guess that’s the short term pain the world has to suffer. Or something.
