      Plausible deniability. If he’s wrong he can say nothing, if he’s right he can say “I said it here”.

      The guy as president was the first step in the right direction of killing off everything we see today in the USA. But no, evil won and he just gives minimal shits and sound bites.

    It was a small smouldering fire on the kitchen stove before Trump … now the entire kitchen is on fire … but everyone is sitting in the living room trying to ignore the smoke that’s filling up the rest of the house.

    Just like we were worse off after the Iraq War. And the Afghanistan War. And the Vietnam War. And the Korean War. Starting to wonder who these are for.
