A Vanity Post.. I'm Entitled To One Or Two After 23 Years Posting Here

Does anyone else feel like me? I despise TSF and his acolytes.. Most of them are stupid, and some of them are fundamentally bad people. However, I don't want to see our country humiliated.

Trump is the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to the United States. Noting else even comes close.

Any catastrophe hits while these goons are in power will compound. Think pandemic in the aftermath of one or more disasters leading to violence.

I have worked in defense aerospace for 40 years at this point. I have known a TON of combat pilots and even astronauts. I haven;t always been proud of how these men and women have been used by political leaders, but it was rare I met one that didn't have a ton of integrity. And I was proud of the work I did.

I don't want these people sacrificed to protect Trump or to promote Nutandyahoo's ambitions. I don't want them to have to kill in Trump's name. But I do wish them safety and insofar as I can, success. I don't mourne Khomeni. And if this effort succeeds, I will not mourne an autocratic theocracy. But neither can I support this needless bloodshed.

when he was elected the first time, and apart from a reprieve between 2020 and 2024, it's been continuing in a downward spiral.
