That article ended with J D Vance’s defense of Trump’s idiocy, “As an American parent, would you like to—God forbid, if your country goes to a war and your son or daughter is sent off to fight—would you like to know that the weapons that they have are good, American-made stuff, not made by a foreign adversary?” ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > Thanks JD, I thought that America had allies not that all other countries are potential adversaries. After the tariffs, every other country is pretty much an adversary. I don’t blame them. If you suddenly start flailing your fists around at random and punch everybody in the face, and claim it’s because you’re tired of being a victim to their scams, you’re not going to have any friends afterwards. ---

I can think of many stupid MFs who would benefit from a few externally applied skull bumps & dents. If the proverbial clue-by-four isn’t working, step up to the real two-by-four.
