      So much of what he does is so intentionally manufactured - very odd intentions and ideas about what to manufacture, just to say that briefly - that I have to believe he thought it would land well, advantageously in his permanently self-aggrandizing way - the several times he’s said this and similar stuff.

      Which, after a little inspection, gives us such a weird tiny window both into what he thinks impresses people…but to a vaguer degree, by proxy, what does impress the people who he historically has always sucked up to.

      This specific weird brag he did always stuck out to me as uniquely vile, at first I saw it as merely stupid and amazingly tone deaf (first very surprising campaign, IIRC), but there was something else there I couldn’t quite put my finger on, and it’s this. I think we have to acknowledge it’s always revealed something much, much worse.

      How many times have we heard the ways “they” all truly feel, and recoiled at the base lowness of it, projected uniquely, confidently, smugly - out of their grotesque messiah’s mouth? He’s not uniquely vile. He’s uniquely vocal, about it, and that’s all.


      [Edit: “they”, just above, of course means the terminally deranged, unsalvageable minds we call “elites”, it doesn’t mean Republicans, voters, any other groups of humans - hope that’s obvious but I prefer clarity]

    Now CNN, do an article on each of the hundreds of children killed in the air strikes. Highlight how they were the light of the party. How unselfish they were, how they will be missed by their families. How, for some reason, unlike the base these American soldiers were working on, their school didn’t have concrete walls around it to protect them.

    I see this as no different than the bastard lobbing a frag grenade at the neighbors and then hiding behind these kids as human shields.

    The Mad Child-Raping Wannabe King is killing people’s children again, and be doesn’t care whose. Never has.

      These kids? My friend, the faces you see are the type of people responsible for KILLING kids. These are all adults with full responsibility for their actions.

      I didn’t see the head of the Department of Special operations, but the head of the Department of War was there… Talking about Jesus.

    A question that’s going to be asked more and more:

    Was it worth it?

    I’m all for redemption and rehabilitating. The “too young to know what they were involved in”. The “poverty draft” argument. Etc.

    But, all of that relies on those former military or former cops actually realizing what they were a part of and spend the rest of their life speaking out against it and actually working to a restorative justice. If all you do is “feel bad” and have PTSD from killing children.

    Unfortunately, when you die being a modern day Nazi, I’m not gonna waste my time thinking or caring about “if” any of those things could have happened. I’m just glad you’re dead and not hurting people anymore.

    Can someone explaine to me why we don’t call current soldiers “pedophile protectors” the same way we do with the Guardians of Pedophiles?
