    I consider war with Iran completely inevitable unless someone in the administration has the brass balls to tell the president that Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989.

    As a leftist, I'll go halfheartedly to protests and such, knowing full well that it won't matter one iota. We can't even stop the government from doing little things like putting immigrant children in concentration camps. How are we supposed to stop them from starting global wars of conquest? But I will say that any Democrat who even hints that they might possibly support giving a nickel to conquer Iranian oil and bomb Iranian families can kiss their career in Washington goodbye.

    To the children of Iran, I am very sorry. But her emails.

    I'm afraid you are right.

    As for the quoted part above: This is where I remind American voters that the Presidency is far less important on domestic policy than we and the MSM generally make it out to be, but is ABSOLUTELY central to foreign policy. Yet we generally don't pay much attention to that aspect until things turn to actual war.

    For those myopic idealists who prattled on about "Killery" and convinced themselves that Trump's incoherent, xenophobic quasi-isolationism would somehow translate into coherent, principled non-interventionist foreign policy--I sure hope tearing up the TPP was worth all this. Because HRC would not be bumbling her way into war over a flying ********ing camera.

    Does John Bolton have a bad diet or coke habit? That could be key here

    By the way, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm going to have to check out Wikipedia to find out the name of my new friend, the president of Iran.

    Perhaps he just likes a Diet Coke when snorting a line and drinking shots out of Melania's navel?

    If Donny's in the room acting as an attendant while referring to Bolton as "Vlad" this is the most on-point theoretical Trump fetish I can imagine.

    Immigrant children are very tasty. But the camps are necessary to fatten them up a little.

    Two more things to point out:

    - Conservatives disliked when the US signed a diplomatic deal that prevented a country from becoming a nuclear power. Although it was working, they demanded the government to break the treaty and now they want to attack the country because it might be on the brink of developing nuclear weapons.

    - Also conservatives, questioned why we didn't reach a deal with a dictator that has nuclear weapons and demanded a deal with said dictator. The dictator played their dumb cult leader like a fiddle, we still don't have a deal, they still have nuclear weapons.

    This is what passes as humor these days? By the way, I am still waiting on that pizza pie. Did your bike get a flat tire?

    You are nothing if not incoherent, even in your "clever" attempts to...whatever it is you're doing.
