There. Is. No. Bottom.


A President who lies constantly tells us he is going to act on the word of a Kingdom led by a brutal dictator who murdered a Washington Post journalist and lied about it.

This is where we are.

I heard exactly the same thing about, "I am not a crook." Nixon. Yes, there was a bottom.

Who knows what we will find out about Trump?
..Maybe the bottom will appear soon. No one knows the future.

10. Too many people, in my opinion, compare this to watergate.

When I got remarried, a wise friend said to me, "Getting remarried is the triumph of hope over experience."

I hope you're right. I really do.

There is no analysis, just egging Trump to start a war. No mention that America has pissed all over the poor people of Iran for scores of years dating back to us overthrowing their democratically elected leader Mohamed Mossadegh in 1953 and installing our puppet, the brutal tyrant Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi.

No mention that we shot down their civilian aircraft over the Persian gulf killing hundreds of Iranian civilians. No mention that we backed our strongman Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war, a war which resulted in a million deaths. Heck they don't even mention that Trump ripped up a treaty that they spent years negotiating with the US and our allies, for no good reason other than Obama signed it.

Im dreading hearing the voice of Barbara Starr (gag me), and others offering no analysis of why this is a terrible terrible idea.

It's enough to make me sick.
