It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Just an interesting phenomenon: BlueSky has become a much better way to share news articles or threads like #FridayNightZillow than other social media I consume/post on. The algorithm doesn't punish news/links, bots are fewer?, high signal-to-noise ratio in comments, etc.

I have such a hard time accepting what has happened to the party that I joined when I was old enough to vote. I disagreed with some of its policies, as I do now with my current party. But the Republican Party traveled so far from its path that I had to reluctantly part company years ago.
FLASHBACK: These humane immigration answers from Bush & Reagan show it’s the Republican Party that has become much more extreme.
Think either of these guys could even come close to winning a Republican primary these days? 😬
