Thing one and thing two

Paper tigers--the republican party mascot

While I have my doubts Donald Trump will go to war with Iran unless he wins re-election (his approval ratings are already historically bad, more than half of Americans believe he should be impeached for his actions regarding Ukraine, no one--domestic or foreign--other than republicans believe a word he says, and the sight of hundreds of American soldiers coming home in body bags every week won't help his campaign's chances), should he decide to do so there are two things you can absolutely count on from war mongering republicans:

1. Despite all their bravado, it won't be them--or more importantly, their children--who will be dying for their cause.  It will be the children of ordinary Americans.
2. Their wealthy benefactors won't be the ones paying the humongous price for it (estimates are over a trillion dollars).  We will--much like America's farmers in Trump's disastrous trade war with China--because we'll be asked to sacrifice and it will be used as an excuse to cut benefits  America's poorest citizens most need.

In other words, it will be the usual republican shit show--there'll be lots of posturing over how tough they are and how they're keeping Americans safe, and in the end all that will really come of it is that  once again Americans will see how weak and ineffective they are, all the while working class folks will be paying the price, both economically and with their children's lives.

Fuck Donald Trump,
