oh it’s the same tattered playbook

[solarbird]

Really, it only makes sense that the most careless, dumbest, desultory fascist fuckhead would run the more careless, dumbest, and desultory version of the Iraq War playbook. Particularly against a country like Panama.

Bush II tried to make his bullshit believable. Really did. It wasn’t if you actually looked at the structural facts – at the realities on the ground – but it fooled even some people who really should’ve known better.

Trump isn’t even trying and doesn’t even care, he’s just checking off boxes before he drops paratroopers.

I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again: all those calls with Putin while he was out of office were coaching sessions. Even if he himself didn’t particularly know it – which I admit is quite possible – that’s what they were. And he’s going to make even American refugees incredibly – possibly even violently – unpopular… just everywhere.

Christ, what a nightmare.

wake me when he violates the War Powers Act

(fuck, that's probably not going to even be a blip at this point...)

Not one Republican president has ever, to my memory, accepted the validity of the War Powers Act, even if they complied with it. He won't even notice it.

And this context, nor do I think will anyone else.

I mean, you have Federal Republicans today saying "yep, all this sure is unconstitutional, but we don't care, it's what we want" so
