The @Duty2Warn doctors call it "Malignant Normal".

Not only do I think they got it dead on with that description, I thimk.there needs to be a whole lot more discussion about that and a whole lot less about him (since he thrives on that focus, even when the attention is negative).

We KNOW what he is.

"And the American people should know we will always defend them, and we'll do so in a way that is consistent with the international rule of law and the American Constitution. We've done it before. We will do it again."By starving us, hurting our elderly and disabled, abusing our women and children, and throwing out our broken soldiers. I could go on. The American people would do better if they weren't being defended in this way by these monsters. We are only an excuse for why terrible things get done. What they do in our name shows how little they truly care about the least of us.

Pompeo: "It may be that there's a little noise here in the interim, that the Iranians make a choice to respond." = General "Buck" Turgidson: "Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks."

Just would look pretty bad for him to let Trump start a war and then bail so he could run for office, imho.

So I read a thing that MSNBC is trying to extend Nicole Wallace's show an extra hour to replace Chuckie's daily show because his ratings kind of suck and hers are better.

I read that Pompeo has been behind the assassination thing for a long time and got people in DOD that would help him convince Trump. https://www.washingtonpost....Have the Rapture/Armageddon people always been intent on bringing about the End of the World as We Know It? I remember some people in high school who were into that stuff but mostly it seemed like a scare tactic to get them to get "saved" in case Jesus came back while they were sinning. That would have been the 1970's. I didn't pay too much attention but didn't realize how it had gotten into government policy making.

So I knew Lindsey Graham was down there. I also read that Kevin McCarthy was, too. Also, too, that Trump was going around dropping big fat hints to his friends at MarALago that something BIG was going to be going down with Iran soon.

First time I was aware of his existence was when he was making an ass of himself trying to grill Hillary in the Benghazi marathon hearing. And I thought, who is this doofus?

Yes. I didn't trust Bush's groundwork, but lots of people did at least buy the lies. Now, it's like, they don't even have to try and their idiot followers buy it. And some people who should know better.
