The UN should sanction the US. Fucking banana republic.

It occurs to me that “whited sepulcher” is such an apt description of the US right now, and I delight in the polysemy whilst ruing its truth.

RIP “The American Century” 1917-2017

so the past few years, there’s no way trump is coming up with this stuff on his own, he can barely read from a piece of paper at a 5th grade level, he’s just a used car salesman who is really good at lying and saying anything to get the sale done, forget the problems it may bring

so who the hell is whispering this stuff into his ear, who is actually running the country?

with Bush it was Cheney, but with trump it’s a roundtable of morons

this can’t all be Steve Miller silently running the country and making policy is it?

If the administration wanted to address China, why the FRACK didn’t we go forward with the TPP then? As much as I loathed the copyright portions that were rammed through, having a Pacific response to China was critical in the decades to come.

You know, agreeing not to kill people we disagree with would just set a terrible precedent. ( or should that be terrible President? )

I think it’s the same guy that knee-capped the previous administration and to whom the current administration is beholden: Mitch McConnel.
