His entire stated policy for Iraq during his entire presidential campaign was that “We should have gotten the oil; I’m going to get the oil to pay for the war.”  And people just yawned.  Like, none of this is new.

Apparently, many of them predate Islam altogether. There are archeological sites thousands of years old on the list.

I hope you were able to open and read the 1980 PRESERVATION NEWS article. One interesting fact is that the friezes and art deco metalwork were appraised at $200,000. This was before art deco became a period as valuable as expressionism and the art market rose exponentially (with no relation to the cpi). Those three…

And let’s not forget that the “costly delay” he erroneously cites in the article was due to alleged costs of keeping workmen on extra days.

“And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn’t work that way.”

Cultists Gonna Cult.

Why not? He’s got the same qualifications.

I am convinced there is literally nothing he could do at this point to make his followers reject him. 

So...let’s play THIS scenario out: Last night didn’t happen. Mark Esper (or pick any high ranking US official, aside from Trump) is visiting Canada for *insert reason here* last night instead, and somehow Iran manages to assassinate him shortly after touching down in Ottawa and kills about a dozen Canadian and…

He absolutely does not understand tactics.

Stupid childish motherfucker—who started an international crisis and tweeted a picture of a flag! Exactly what an internet troll who has no understanding of consequences would do!—is trying to kick off a cute little war to distract from impeachment (and maybe get re-elected on the side, because uhh that’s what Bush…

Here let me interpret it for you: “You’re a cunt.”

Hell yeah motherfucker! USA! USA!!! Can’t wait to celebrate some dead Iranian civilians! Fuck yes!!!! Flag covered coffins arriving at Dover AFB by the thousands for decades to come! THESE COLORS DON’T RUN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! A generation of US soldiers, and Iranians (soldier and civilian) with irreversible…

Yeah, I guess, what do you think would be the US response if a foreign government had murdered George W. Bush while he was in office?  A top Pentagon official?  Come the fuck on. 

Has the press learned anything from Iraq, or will they line up uncritically behind this administration’s march to war despite this president having earned absolutely no benefit of the doubt on anything. Based on the way the press has handled the Trump era so far, I’m skeptical. 

Wedge salad with Roquefort, the little lady will have the shrimp cocktail, and two more martoonis, brother. (Palm the kid a folded-up five.)

Oh, eff off. This is the steakhouse attempt at a vegetable that built this country. True white trash salads have marshmallows or smashed up ramen noodles in them. You don't even know how much white trash we can get.

1. This was known when the op-ed was published, and plenty of other outlets noted that, because journalism.

Galli had already announced his plans to retire back in October, so the op-ed was basically a big “Fuck you, Trump” note to go out on.

It’s like Lee Atwater admitting to and atoning for his 20 year career of the most evil conservative politics - one month before he died at age 40.
