When the entire global economy could be in cross hairs, bravado seems already anachronistic.

Iran is the juke joint. Undead phreak show parading on the periphery, every sophistry wound and released in a jerksome cadence, coughing up the promise of inertia devoid of soul.

What are odds he's building suspense just for the sake of making a Deus Ex outta himself - at last minute ordering all forces and Israel to stand down?

Weird how Kant seems, it seems, to think that rhapsodic or accidental collocations are impossible. It's as if it's a terminal threat, rather than a scene of active torsion whereby the armature of the conceptual gets a summons.

Rather, this is a moment where we cannot afford to chug warm beer when we must form a rational 3rd party.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The gig is up with Ukraine. Now the ridiculous hand-waiving denial reaches a fever pitch.
Idiot behavior driven by willful ignorance of history, American aggression, and the non-sequitur conviction that because a vile fucktard like Trump abandons the war, then it must be wrong.
