I disagree with some of the points that Benjamin makes below but am completely in accord with his conclusions about the stupidity and recklessness:

Remember when Dotard got shot in the ear? We were having an early dinner in a small French restaurant here in Mexico. My son's phone pings, my phone pings. We tell my wife... Trump has been shot. We all agree that is someone has be shot it might as well be him. And we toast with our cocktails.

The only other people in the restaurant were 2 Mexican couple about 10 feet away. Their phones ping, and they all look down, then back up at us.

We nod... and raise our glasses slightly. They do the same.

If only the Miraculous Assassination had reached the correct outcome. We'd have that nice President Harris and VP Tim now and all these clownfucks would be on sad podcasts criticizing them and we would laugh and laugh.

“ Make sure next to your Jim Bakker basement Doomsday grub buckets in the basement there are also magnums of champagne and condoms!”

And on that note, our ambassador to Israel has reportedly told staffers huddling with their loved ones in bomb shelters that any kids conceived together this forced togetherness should be named after him.

FIFA INTL Press Release

for immediate, worldwide dissemination:

Hot on the heels of winning the unprecedented, first and only (for now!) FIFA Peace Prize, we here at FIFA central are moist with anticipation as we announce the inaugural and inarguable, first ever, FIFA War Prize which will be bequeathed to Donald J Trump! We are also looking forward to our upcoming, exciting Clean Coal Prize slated to be awarded on April 20th (earth day!) to… we aren’t telling!

Thanks for your attention to this matter, your friends at the FIFA INTL prize department

That was certainly uplifting.

No question that PAB has dramatically altered the world with his lack of impulse control. And the hits will keep on coming. Just heard on the intertubes that Japan has about a three month reserve of oil, and if their economy goes south as supply runs out, they could prop up the yen by selling US treasuries. Or something like that. Which would be not great, Bob, for us.

If he died tonight, it'd be a blessing, honestly. Although it may already be too late for the economy.

Triple Mar-a-Lago-face is a bit much, Marcie.

"Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

Do a hit of Krazy Glue or Testor's or whatever and imagine if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris said something like this.

What do you think would be happening next? To either Biden or Harris?

And am I born to die/to lay this body down/And must my trembling spirit fly/into a world unknown.

A land of deepest shade/Unpierced by human thought/The dreary regions of the dead/Where all things are forgot.

As soon as from Earth I go/What will become of me?/Eternal happiness or woe/must then my fortune be.

Waked by the trumpet’s sound/I from my grave shall rise/ To see the Judge with glory crowned/And see the flaming skies.

Charles Wesley.

And First Things magazine makes fun of Presbyterians USA and James Talarico? Presbyterians in America don’t know those old hymns, because they don’t like pure Calvinist theology. Or, as Gordon Liddy said to David Letterman,”It really doesn’t matter about Watergate, David. When we die, we will all be food for the worms.” You pays your money, and you takes your choice.

War grants itself certain undeserved permissions. For example, phrases like "people will die" and "people die" in these operational wars will be much more accurate when replaced with "people are murdered" and "people got killed" and "people are killing and murdering people".

Warren's avatar

Passive voice versus active voice. “I believe in killing people when you can get good results by doing so” versus “It is sometimes necessary, in pursuit of higher aims, to accept liquidation of certain populations as an unfortunate byproduct.”

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Carlin's had a bit about how World War I's "shell shock" became "combat fatigue" became "operational exhaustion" became "post-traumatic stress disorder," with the softer language reducing the impact of the original simple, and accurate, name for the same condition blunting the impact for the pubic and failing to convey the severity of what military personnel had suffered.

Well, there now. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!
