    Sorry I shouldve probably said “we’d have less to complain about”. I dont support us getting involved in another war in the middle east, I support that idea EVEN LESS when we start a war in the ME without using the proper channels. And I cant disagree with you there, we constantly get involved in shit around the world that we shouldnt be, and that nobody has asked us to, in the interest of “spreading democracy”.

    Thinking people are opposed to Trump invading Iran, or opposed to Trump in general because he’s “mean” is misguided at best. If Trump had gone through the correct channels, and gotten congressional approval for the “strategic combat operations” weve been involved in, nobody would have anything to complain about (other than the obvious “no new wars” and higher gas prices, but thats a different topic entirely). Trump acts as though he has absolute power in the seat of the executive, and has unfortunately surrounded himself with loyal cronies that wont tell him no. I dont give a fuck that he’s mean (it isnt even that he is, he honestly acts like a 1st grade playground bully), but I do give a fuck about him following the law, being held accountable when he doesn’t, and that he follows correct etiquette when making decisions that will effect the entire country.






  • And what would you have us all do? To be honest (as a straight, white dude in America with no real minority status) im pissed as all hell. Ive watched what was initially a kinda shitty country turn to straight far right Authoritarian in a heartbeat, and I dont want any of this shit. But aside from a large scale revolution, which includes burning it all down and starting over from scratch, what the hell do we do. Our votes all count the same, so we can go out and vote but we wont always have numbers. Realistically all I feel empowered to do is bitch on social media UNTIL something big pops off, and then go participate in it.







  • Had a recurring nightmare over the course of about 3 nights as a kid in middle school. Dreams would pick up where the last one left off, and it was a zombie/mutant humanoid apocalypse scenario happening at my house. We defended the house well for two days straight, didnt lose a single survivor. Then on the third day we became overrun, lost everybody, and i was “bitten”. The dream ended with me watching an absolute flood of bodies breaking through my kitchen wall, attacked the remaining survivors, and me screaming “IVE BEEN BITTEN!!”.

    Looking back and thinking about it, its pretty freaky lol.
