Who is more likely to get us into a war?

Unfortunately, it’s looking very likely that we’ll have to choose between Biden and Trump for president. Personally, I would rather we randomly select a CEO from a Fortune 500 company, and randomly select one of our governors to serve as VP.

One of the standard arguments from the left against Trump has been that he was going to get us into a war. He didn’t, but I’m sure we’ll see the same argument again.

Biden hasn’t gotten us into a war either. Yet. But we seem to keep creeping towards it.

It’s impossible to make a straight, head to head comparison between Biden and Trump because they faced different situations. Trump faced a different set of challenges than Biden, and whoever is president next time will face a completely different situation.

But based on what you know of these two, which one do you think is more likely to get us into a war?

What are the odds we’ll be in World War 3 in 12 months?

I thought escalating U.S. involvement in Ukraine was sufficient grounds to worry about WW3, but with the Israel-Hamas war, I think it’s looking worse. And the fact that we have a babbling, tottering, weak fool in the White House makes me even more concerned. I would pray for his quick removal except that it would put Harris in charge. She would cackle and talk to us like a simpering 2nd grade teacher while the world burned.

Since there’s no Speaker of the House, I think that means Sen. Patty Murray is next in line — if both Joe and Kamala were to leave office. I know nothing about her, but I suspect she can’t be worse than either of those two.

But I’m starting to wonder what kind of a war WW3 will be. The U.S. has the greatest military on the planet, which means that people who want to do us harm are likely to find other ways of fighting — like Hamas does against Israel.

That bumbling traitor in the White House has allowed millions of unvetted people to swarm our country. There’s no reason to doubt that a significant minority of them are foreign agents of one sort or another. If open hostilities break out, I suspect we’ll be seeing things like attacks on key infrastructure and terror attacks against the population.

Given what we’ve seen in Europe, I wonder how many college-educated morons would support them.

“Hate speech” has officially jumped the shark

When conservatives can get fined, lose their job, and in some parts of the world go to jail for using the wrong pronoun, “hate speech” has become too much of a joke to be taken seriously.

And when liberals can get away with defending the murder of innocent civilians, the rape of women, and the torture of children, the phrase has clearly become a partisan bat with no objective meaning whatsoever.

Rep. Matt Gaetz must be a woman

Because I don’t like him, and Smitemouth seems to think the only reason I don’t like people is because they’re women.

I’m not sure what it is about Gaetz that rubs me the wrong way, but something does.

I’m also not sure what I think about yesterday’s news.

On the pro side …

Republicans have a deep-seated “we are the minority and have to compromise” mentality. It’s woven into their personalities, and they have to get past it. They have to learn to fight. McCarthy was not a fighter.

On the con side …

Republicans have a very slim majority in the House, and you can only do so much in that position. Maybe compromise is the best they can do.
