Tim Barrus: NY Times: Let’s Have Another Stupid War
Trump has been looking for a war. He could go to war with the State of California. Americans would stand with him shoulder to shoulder because Americans are as fatuous as he is. Trump could invade Vermont, and Americans would applaud.
But we have a congress.
Oh, really.
They could start getting tough and issue a subpoena.
Congress has rendered itself a toothless absurdity beneath contempt. Congress would hide beneath their collective desks and shiver in fear as the Iranian hordes descend from their dhows. Congress is irrelevant. It has made itself irredeemable.
If Trump marched out into his driveway and announced that the CIA had “discovered…”
He would then proclaim the CIA is never wrong.
Americans would believe him. They don’t question anything. They goose step like compliant lemmings jumping off cliffs.
I know, we’ll make Iranians suffer in poverty, and then they’ll understand we mean business as the biggest, pompous, most imperial jerks on the planet. But the entire world already knows that. I know, we could go on Twitter and rant about Iran. That will show them.
I know, we could bring back the draft. Trump’s own military record as a winning General could give something inspirational to young American snowflakes who will defend us with pretentious vigor from kebabs being served in school cafeterias. I know, we could all claim to have flat feet. Our lawyers and fixers could prove it.
But those photographs of our feet would not be available to Nancy Pelosi.
