I wrote abt sane washing of Trump's confession he wants to take Greenland bc of his psychological neediness. But the sane washing had its desired effect.

We should all be screaming that this--Trump confessed h wants to take an action that will destroy NATO entirely bc of his psychological needs.

"Hahaha" said Gandalf, hitting his weed pen for the seventeeth time that hour. "Fuck".
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

No one can say we wouldn’t deserve to be sanctioned.
