“Washington has wanted war with Iran for decades,” (Tucker) Carlson said. “They still want it now. Let’s hope they haven’t finally gotten it.”
During his show on Thursday, the Fox News host laid out the ways that Soleimani had destabilized the region and helped encourage attacks on the U.S.
But he also argued that war with Iran was pointless, saying the benefits of conflicts in the Middle East have been mostly “nonexistent” and have “turned out to be longer, bloodier, and more expensive than we were promised.”
“No one in Washington is in the mood for big-picture questions right now,” he said. “Questions like: Is Iran really the greatest threat we face?
And who’s actually benefiting from this?
And why are we continuing to ignore the decline of our country in favor of jumping into another pointless quagmire, from which there’s no obvious exit?”
Sadly, politicians are always part of our daily public discourse. They shouldn’t be. Government should be so small that they have little impact on our daily lives.
Surgeon General: You wanted to see me, Mr. President?
Trump: Oh, good! You’re here. Come in! Come in!
Surgeon General: They said it was an emergency?
Trump: Yes! Yes! Terrible emergency. We have do something!
Surgeon General: Is this about vaping?
Trump: What? No!
Surgeon General: The Opioid Epidemic?
Trump: Nobody cares about that! Never mind that!
Surgeon General: I’m confused, Mr. President.
Trump: You’re a doctor, right?
Surgeon General: Yes?
Trump: Like the head doctor of the United States of Tru… America, right? You work for me? Right? You have to do what I say?
Surgeon General: Sort of, I guess.
Trump: You heard about Iran?
Surgeon General: Iran?
Trump: Yes! Iran! We’re gonna be at war with Iran. Probably by lunch.
Surgeon General: I thought you fired John Bolton?
Trump: What?
Surgeon General: I’m lost, Sir.
Trump: Dammit, man! My feet are killing me. I can hardly walk. It just came on out of the blue.
Surgeon General: Your … feet?
Trump: I’m going to need a note.
Surgeon General:
Trump:
Surgeon General: A note?
Trump: It’s genetic. Runs in the family. My dad had it too. Had to leave Germany because of it. So, I’ll need a note for the whole family, Don, Eric, Ivanka, and, uh, whatsername? The other daughter.
Surgeon General: You need a note excusing you from war?

Midnight, I wake up bothered
He Tweets like the ocean’s water
Walking on a wave’s chicane
Hoping I’m not called out by name
And I can’t get it out of my head
No, I can’t get it out of my head
Now my whole world is filled with dread
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head
Apologies To Jeff Lynne

I think we’ll have to settle for getting him out of office and into jail.

I have been saying for three years,
“Remember when we had Presidents who just did their jobs, and you only heard their names every few weeks?”
We’ll get back there soon.

As a republican Carmen should have expected the Orange one’s emergence when Newt Gingrich started the disinformation smear campaign years ago!
His malignant and vile presidency was inevitable!
