no one is buying his iran plan.
Therein lies what small hope we have...
What finally dug Tick Nixon out of the White House was enough of the elite, realizing that their rackets would actually get fu#ked with if this shit went on much longer, starting the wave of pressure that eventually led to the needed number of senators for an impeachment vote against him.
The various mega-industries that pay protection money to Presidential candidates aren't stupid - despite how much we may laugh at the transparency of their greediness. They know that $6.00 a gallon gas and international pariah status is going to be, you know,
bad for business. So as they started to realize with terror the full implications of their having picked a Christianist ventriloquist's dummy to wear The Suit - i.e. "Oh my God. This fraternity retard with his finger on the Big Red Button
actually believes that shit." - I suspect that there were some
real-power-lunch conversation along the lines of "Who do we know on the Hill who's willing to listen to sit down and have a serious conversation about stabilizing the situation?"
The only question now is if there will be enough of them.
Sad to say, that's just how the power goes. While that plays out, I'm going to get some milk and donuts.
