      Normally that would work but the majority party also got to power by convincing their racist scum supporters that they would focus on fixing the homeland rather than spending billions bombing the other side of the planet. A whole branch of the current Republican diaspora seems pretty unhappy with this bullshit. That said I’m sure the tantrum will be short lived and they will get back on their knees in no time.

        We’re making America great by making the rest of the world more shitty.

        This is the bully method. Knock everyone else down to make yourself feel better.

        He’s making us “great” the same way Lord Voldemort did “great” things. Terrible, yes. But “great”.

        That said I was watching Order of the Phoenix with my kids last night and only made it to winter break when the kids fell asleep. I fucking hate Umbridge. It’s painful watching that movie in the current climate. Even more painful knowing that JK is closer to her IRL than any other character.

        We’ll see. I have little faith that those traitors don’t fall in line almost immediately. These people are pure evil.
