That said, it is totally inexcusable that this appears to have been a carefully targeted attack with precision guided weapons.

Very true. In theory everyone is supposed to be better than that nowadays. In practice, not so much.

The fact that it was a Tomahawk is a pretty big hint. America is the only one of the three belligerents that use them. Beyond that, only a handful of countries use Tomahawks. The UK is very unlikely, and it would be bizarre for it to be Australia, Japan or the Netherlands. That leaves the US.

That’s the problem with democracy, people are free to be pick someone terrible. Even if they want to pick someone as bad as Lindsey Graham, they should be free to. To paraphrase Churchill: Democracy really is a bad system, it’s just better than all the other systems.

I don’t see why you would possibly believe that the people who elected him would replace him with someone amazing if Graham were term limited.

But, I can definitely imagine how much better the World would be if America was just finishing the first year of Obama‘s 5th term instead of this mess.

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence. It is impossible to earn that much money, and it is harmful to society to have that level of inequality. No one should be allowed to have that kind of money.

Poor right wing people are rightly angry because everything has been taken from them. But, they blame immigrants, poor, sick, disabled, elderly or benefit claimants. This is wrong because these people also have nothing. It is the rich who have everything because they stole it from the rest of us.

Trump: New plan. It’s the greatest plan. I call it “Operation Death to America”.

Advisor: Wait. What?

Trump: Donald J Trump. The J is for genius. I’m the best 3d chess player ever. Nobody knows more about chess than I do.

Advisor: Uh… Sir. Those are checkers, and you’re not supposed to eat them.

What the fuck are they even talking about? The only homeland anyone is even trying to drive White people out of is Ukraine. And, it's Russians who are also White trying to drive them out. Notably even that isn't going that well for the Russians.

Our soldiers do not swear loyalty to Canada, or the Canadian people, or even the Canadian constitution. No, they swear loyalty to the king.

People always say it is a can of worms we shouldn't open right now. That's true, we should have done it in 1867, or again in 1987. Now is the second-best time.

Not just protector. There were some pretty serious “suggestions” of direct wrongdoing on his own part too.

I don’t see why we should want a rubber stamp from those inbred pedophiles. This isn’t a Disney movie. It’s well passed time for us to grow up.

Canada's PM calls for Andrew to be removed from line of succession Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month.

Or, we could ditch them all entirely and have no kings here in Canada. We are a democracy. It’s time we stopped pretending to be a monarchy. Retaining this symbol of aristocracy and authoritarianism is offensive, archaic, and embarrassing.

MAGA doesn’t understand. But, it’s really not that complicated. This is why it’s bad for your country to act like a sociopath.

America First = America stands alone in a dangerous world where everyone needs allies and friends.

Agreed. It is incredibly unlikely. But, I can still dream.

I will also say, that while it’s very unlikely to succeed, the effort could still be embarrassing for Russia and weaken their diplomatic position if it gained a decent amount of support.

Yeah don’t get me wrong. I also have great respect for how Cheney stood up for what she believes. I can see how people might want it to happen (if they are unaware of how conservative she actually is). But, thinking it is not just likely, but an absolute certainty, is just Miller talking crazy.
