It turns out that our Beloved Leader, Führer Schittfürbrenz has had another particularly significant episode of Cranial Rectosis today:
The End of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty With Russia.
Having had yet another vision from Ares as he was admiring himself in a mirror, he received instructions to end the decades-old nuclear weapons treaty known as the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty - with Russia.
Although this latest edict from His Majesty puts the nation once again in the position of having to engage in another vulgar, expensive arms race, nothing this idiot does at this point should surprise anyone. What IS surprising, however, is that absolutely nobody - neither Republican OR Democrat - is currently speaking out on it; after all, given the recent tax cut the neocon congress gave to its donor class corporate pals and the fact that the Federal deficit is now growing at an astronomical rate as a result of it, it would seem that SOMEone in D.C. should now be asking themselves where in the hell the money to support another arms race is going to come from.
Oops. I forgot, Dick Cheney was very explicit when he established the neocon budgetary decision process a few years back: “Deficits Don’t Matter™” - except when they’re caused by “entitlements”… THEN they matter.
So… the old “Gays, Guns & God” thing is supposed to carry the republicans over the top in a few weeks again? Perhaps the skinhead militias and the rest of the fat white alcoholic rednecks who spend their welfare and unemployment checks on AR15s, ammunition bandoleers, extended magazines and bump stocks might want to start saving their pennies to build fallout shelters instead. Meanwhile, the rest of the conservative voting bloc can continue to water that tree…
I wish that Democrats would take a page from the neocon handbook by declaring that we too pursue a policy of no negotiations with terrorists; that the terrorists we should be fighting are not sequestered in caves or tents in a foreign desert but lurk in the boardrooms and banks and halls of Congress ; that the “mosques” in which they worship currently occupy an entire conveyance in New York City called “Wall Street”, the White House, Pennsylvania Avenue and every conservative think tank in Washington; and those terrorists need to be called out for the treasonous force that puts our citizens in danger and bankrupts our country.
Hey: one can only hope...
