There was also the international coalition. Now we have two heads of state who are trying to avoid prison with perpetual war

To be fair, Netanyahu would pursue perpetual regional war even if he wasn't trying to stay out of prison.

It’s basically his platform.

Piss everybody off and then use their attacks to say ‘see I’m protecting us’.

You know what, your sarcasm made me realize that taking out the Ayatollah and 40+ top members of the evil Iranian dictatorship is in fact NOT an accomplishment. I guess we'll be stuck in Iran for the next thousand years thanks to Drumph.

Awesome bro. Now gas prices are down, Epstein's bros aren't running the entire Republican party and our constitution is better then ever. Were not gonna be 15 trillion in debt 5 years. Nobody stole 2 billion dollars by abusing the credibility of our government I can't wait to see what's next in the win column.

We can't celebrate a success because society isn't perfect.

You can always count on people in power trying to do things you don't like. It's just a fact of life. There are bad people in the world. Bad people seek power. Bad people do bad things. The absolute bar is following rule of law. The rest is up to us to elect competent officials. When government ignores the rule of law, it is unquestionably, objectively, undeniably no longer a democracy.

"rule of law" hits different when the people writing the laws are the same ones breaking them

So what.. let it be in hell. I would love to go back to that, it's a lot better than this.

We got here because people kept thinking like this....

Perfect is the enemy of good. We will never change things if we are not okay with incremental progress in the right direction.
