  You think they won’t dismiss more obvious things? Feel free to review Trump’s quote from after Khashoggi was murdered, which boils down to, “Sure, they may have killed him, but do you realize how much money they’re spending here?” That got barely a mutter. Just how much do you think it will take to get Americans upset with what he does?

    Honestly, a fuck of a lot, if they’re not already the ones focusing on the smallest bullshit today.

      I used to never understand my dad. Some tiny thing would happen and he would blow up. “How could you do something so stupid?” “All you had to do was this one little thing, and you blew it!” But something big would happen and he would shrug and say, " Well, these things happen. At least everyone’s okay."

      Now that I’m older, I get it. Some things are so simple, there just isn’t an excuse to fuck them up. And when people do fuck it up, it’s mind blowing, because all you had to do was not fuck it up. Like a fucking Nazi salute. And if these guys are going to do something so stupid and easy to avoid as a Nazi salute, do you really think they have the capacity to understand the implications of the big things they’re trying to do, or see the ramifications of the tough choices ahead of them?

      Do you think Adolf Hitler figured he’d be dead by his own hand within a decade of Kristallnacht?
