If this Iran thing gets any more clusterfucked,

and by clusterfucked I mean that the Iranian people don't turn against the Iranian government; that the fatwa reaches outside of the Middle East, and the economy goes bust, Trump has one clear out.

He can accept the call for removal from office based on the 25th Amendment. At this point, there's no one on the planet who won't believe he's not insane.

There's the old saying by Nobel Prize winner Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez that, “It is easier to start a war than end it.” The fucking fucking idiot's delusions that this would be easy shows his lack of understanding of history. And Putin is not alone in being able to exploit his lack of ability to deal in reality, as Netanyahu so clearly does.

Trump's goal is to be the richest man on the planet and he has

in the US.

There is a method to his madness.
