  American Idiot was such a great album. And still pertinent now, more than ever.

  Who was the last Republican president that didn’t initiate a war in the middle-east?

  The year is 1991, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2002, the US goes to war in the middle east. The year is 2026, the US goes to war in the middle east.

  What’s really wild is it’s almost 23 years on the nose since the war in Iraq started on March 20th, 2003.

  At least Bush and the military apparatus at the time was willing to at least pretend they had legitimacy by calling it “Operation Iraqi Freedom” whereas “Operation Epic Fury” just describes Trump throwing ketchup covered plates at the wall because he’s an irrationally angry bitch baby.

    I had no idea it was called “epic fury” until NPR mentioned it during morning edition today. I almost crashed my car laughing at that Idiocracy-ass name.

    That shit sounds like an energy drink for dudes with restraining orders.

  This was the joke back in 2016: “Blink 182 dropped a new album, Clinton is running for president, and Independence day just came out? What year is it?”

  The war on the Iranian regime is way more justified (being for a trade corridor likely to bring enemies together on the same side, than the war in Iraq (which was about resources for America and the Bush family lineage).
