This is why I've been viewing the fracas about the double-tap crap as a red herring. The reality is that all of it, single- or double-tap, is unambiguously a crime.

This was ALWAYS about oil.

So we're just stealing from Venezuela now? Cool.

We've been murdering them for months. Theft seems tame in comparison.

No, officially as a nation. That's just same old same old for him and scarcely worth mentioning since he's not a Democrat.

If we're gonna pick fights with countries and take their goods, can we get something going with Switzerland so we can take their chocolate?

No ,it means we're a pirate nation like Somalia.

AI shouldn't be raising the temperature like this. Irresponsible.

There has to have been a moment where a different outcome then this was possible, but this is just starting to feel so damned inevitable.

I am pretty sure that after 9/11, this was always going to be the end result. But the last couple of years of Bush’s term all the way to 2016 just created too much false hopes.

But it was all going to find its way here, wasn’t it?

So long as Foster Brooks is President we should not be surprised at anything.

Or how about Antarctica and their penguins?. Penguins are hilarious! They look like little fat dudes waddling around in tuxedos. Put those guys on the streets of America and we’re all having a fucking blast!
