> [@Frodo](#): > > It’s worse than that, it’s positively in Iran’s interest to make Donald Trump regret ever having messed with them, That, and their stock has risen with almost everyone else in the world. Everyone is like, “Okay, sure, they’re still _Iran_, but goddamn, they didn’t deserve this.” The only way I can see Trump (or, more likely, the US after Trump is gone) getting out of this is by letting Iran normalize a lot of their interactions with the rest of the world. They’ll be the big winners in the end, if they can hold out long enough. ---

Nobody in the NYC real estate biz gave a damn about Donny Two-scoops saving face but he’d lawyer them with lawsuits.until it was cheaper to walk away. That doesn’t work in the national leader “biz.” The facts are that he can’t fight senility. And that is gonna be the only thing that may save us. Congress sure won’t. SCOTUS are a bunch of grifters. Senility for the win. Dunning-Kruger effect as well. He is to dumb to realize he’s dumb. ---

But senility won’t save us, because the people with the power to remove a senile president have watched this whole shitshow, and refused to act.

“protect the beautiful South Lawn grass from the fierce exhaust fumes of the incredible Marine One” Jesus, if I was reading a book that had dialogue this bad in it, I’d toss it on the fire. How are these people real? Sorry, sorry, I meant to say, “If I was _forcefully_ reading an _astonishing_ book that had _fabulous_ dialogue this _shockingly_ bad in it”. ---

Those are the fierce exhaust fumes that are ejected downward so as to better attract heat seeking missiles, aren’t they? If they can burn grass in a well watered lawn they are effective beyond my expectations. ---

Trump has neither Moral nor Conservative philosophy to guide him. He is completely going by the seat of his pants. Trump is like a pilot with no instrument training trying to fly an airplane with no visibility whatsoever. Everything he tries is doomed to failure. ---
