...and the Roman Empire only fell because - whenever the #toilet got clogged, they had to move to a different house - simply because there were no #plumber 🪠 back then 🤔

That's why they #occupied half the 🇪🇺 #continent, 🇬🇧 #GreatBritain, and 🇹🇷 #Asia Minor, because of the clogged #toilets. 💩

That was the reason for the fall of the #Roman #Empire: because there were no #plumbers! 😉 😜

Next time #POTUS threatens to wipe out a #civilization, I'm going right into RobinHood and buying #stocks when the market dips.

#TACO is so predictable at this point, that day trading could work.

I'm going to try this. Next time POTUS tweets about someone's obliteration, I'm going to buy $200 of some DJIA stocks.

EDIT: So in 2 weeks when it looks like WWIII all over again and markets dip, I buy. When he TACOs, I sell the next day.

EDIT2: I'm really happy that he TACOs a lot. Especially this time. If he followed through and became a war criminal, the world would be much worse off. Being that as it may be, the oligarchs are the ones winning, every time.

"“A whole #civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the utterances of a man casting about for an act of sufficient magnitude to substitute for the coherent strategy he never bothered to contemplate. The trajectory they trace — from rhetorical escalation to intensified bombardment to potentially something indiscriminate or far worse — deserves a degree of serious #examination that major #media outlets are just beginning to realize. Understanding that trajectory requires grasping, above all, the particular #trap into which American power has #sleepwalked.
…
A leader who entered a #war he did not understand, in pursuit of objectives he had not reconciled, and who now confronts a situation in which every available #exit diminishes the political #narrative he has staked his #identity on, is a genuinely #dangerous figure to place at the apex of #nuclear decision-making."

Pakistan suggests a two week extension to Trump's threat to Iran, giving the States a possible off-ramp.

Trump will, of course, accept to extend because, well...#TACO

Iran has a population of 93 Million people.

Think about that.

It is three hours until the deadline set by Mad King Donald. Has he POCOed yet, or will he really commit a horrific war crime and kill, as he threatened, an entire civilization? I can't believe I have to ask that about a president of the United States.
