And he's going to die from old age long before he'll ever see any of the consequences of his shitty policies/choices. Lovely society we have here....

Can we even begin to comprehend how pathetic and whiny JD will be as a wartime president?

Whatever Trump touches, ends in a Catastrophe. He is a kind of negative Midas.

Not everything is a distraction from the epstein stuff. The entire US ruling class has wanted to bomb Iran for a long time. It's the only regional threat to israel, and the USA and israel are two heads of the same monster, and it's a monster that loves war.

Well by the standards of the GOP, the stock market was up overall even when accounting for inflation from the time the war began and ended on Iraq. So none of it was a catastrophe to them.. it was just another line go up.

Didn't go up as fast because the crash in 2008, but in the end the rich got richer

Can anyone explain why we are attacking? I have no clue and I usually listen to radio news.

It can be both, yes. I just think it's less about Epstein stuff and more about other stuff. Profits, for sure, and geopolitics. And it can serve as a distraction from all the other shit that's going on...ICE and their ethnic cleansing campaign, for example. They're just doing everything at once, so it's near impossible for a busy person to keep up.
