I usually try to live my life in a way that would piss off Benjamin Netanyahu.

I do enjoy watching lightning, but this feels like I'm watching a slow apocalypse.

These #lightning strikes are HUGE. They sound like nuclear bombs exploding miles away, they rumble for 15-20 seconds, waves crashing against one another. I saw one before this that stretched from Columbus to Cincinnati.

It's going to be a helluva summer. #ClimateChange

The war with #Iran has always been about beginning Armageddon and ending the world in a strictly biblical sense.

If #fundamentalist #Christians are going to try to end the entire world in order to meet God, then they are a bigger danger to every living thing on Earth than any other religion.

I love the way he phrases things: "I can tell you lots of things."

He's a charlatan.

The people who think Trump is going to bring freedom, human rights, and democracy to Iran with his bombings should talk to the people who thought that about Venezuela. Trump doesn’t care about any of that stuff.

The voices of the Iranian #resistance are being silenced by a media which is allowed to interact with #Iran in curated ways. Meanwhile, these people have been fighting and dying for twenty years, and now their fight has been sullied by Trump using them as a pawn.

But Obama was divisive.

He divided the country between people who couldn't stand having a Black president, and everyone else.

It's only fascism if someone's making them do something they don't want to do. If they get to make someone else do something they don't want to do, that's freedom.

Get it?

If he's going to pay companies back for the tariffs he levied, then it kind of seems like an embezzlement scheme.

Kind of like how he bankrupted two casinos, when a child could run a casino at a profit.

Arresting people who aren't cops when they commit a crime shouldn't be a novel idea, but it is.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

If you had a 50/50 chance of being wrong about someone else, you're fine with that, but if someone is wrong about something they say about you, you get your partner over and you both flip out on them. Y'all must be miserable full-time, picking fights with everyone who replies.

What are they afraid of? Oh, it's losing. Is it losing?

They're afraid of losing, because they're losers.

I mean, I'm not good at baseball either, but I'm also not a bigot.
