Odd strawman from my post arguing against him dying in a video game. I did say softcore porn. Hardcore porn would be saying you think Donald Trump should be assassinated prior to leaving office. Actually, transitioning from a video game to a Hollywood drama about the perfect election victory has a narrative rhyme that I missed the first time around. GH is doing what you said, he’s setting up to quote the posts of Sim and Jan, and claim they need to join his revolution or something. The rest of us are just mixing hope and despair. Small election wins in subsequent elections are the kind of progress we need and can use, and big wins are possible if Iran keeps going the way its going and the tariffs keep killing the economy. I think the morose attitude on what a small win will say about America is puerile.

Actually, transitioning from a video game to a Hollywood drama about the perfect election victory has a narrative rhyme that I missed the first time around. Nonetheless I’m pretty sure Billyboy nor Simberto expressed no such assassination sentiment, so it feels odd to me to throw it out in a direct reply to them. I’ve no such compunctions and I’ll admit to that, the sooner the cunt is out of office the better. Given there are seemingly no limits to what his own party will tolerate, and he’s clearly not going to face censure for his many crimes, death is quite the equaliser, something no person can escape. Would prefer natural causes or a hilarious accident than assassination, which I don’t support. The softcore assassination porn was more directed at you and simberto ("A much better scenario than assassination in minecraft" as an evaluation of degree). To Billy, it appears that his problem with assassination is martyrdom, not assassination. I wholly reject that, I’m in the hardcore assassination porn camp, give me some credit. I don’t think that’s accurate based on Billy’s general posting and what I’ve gleamed from his musing in general. He’s free to speak for himself of course, but contextually I took him to mean ‘assassination is bad, and there may be a martyr effect’, not ‘assassination is bad because there’s a martyr effect’. And to follow your earlier billionaire logic, not sure why it’s bad really. I think the death of a person would be of a benefit for wider society, what’s the problem? If you support any domestic policy or foreign intervention that so much as kills 2 people well, you’re twice as bad as me right off the block. Because you're not the only one on the block with ideas on who in society we should kill in order to make society better off.
Perhaps not but my ideas are actually good ones.
Facetiousness aside maybe Republicans should have backed impeachment, as they should have if they had any gumption.
Instead we’re locked into 4 years of absolutely blatant corruption, with a man who has already skirted his just desserts actively stacking institutions in his favour
So I mean you can’t get rid of him via legitimate means, that ain’t happening.
So it’s either health issue, assassin or just sitting around watching this certifiable prick fuck around for another few years. I know where my preferences would lie there.
Not really sure what the issue is with that really.

Iran is promising a crushing response, Bahrain air sirens are blaring. I still think this will be short lived but it seems more like new normal of this type of outburst then a thing of the past.

It was won, but shortly after that Trump needed our help to win the war, but then he decided he was going to destroy an entire civilisation if everyone didn't let him win the war, and then Trump was Jesus and now he appears to be conducting the war entirely at random day by day.
Hope that clarifies things.

The important thing to remember is that the winner of the most fifa peace prices in history has ended this war more often than anyone had ever believed possible.

Not just wars but the careers of many a political satirist. Many have just switched to the news desk because simply reporting on reality is better material than they could conjure
