We dare you. We double dog dare you.

Honestly... why the fuck am I sitting here in the US rooting for Iran.

Oh yeah... because "Trump".

But when you dig into the history of the US in the 20th and 21st centuries, you start to notice this isn’t just a “Trump” thing. Outside of WW1 and WW2 (though the US had spurious reasons for joining WW1), the US has been the bad guys in every other instance.

The US is the imperialist hegemon, Trump has just been more open about it.

Trump has also been more corrupt and stupid about it. He's not being honest about it, he's being flagrant about being a tool of the giant corporations.

Also more open about just drifting the fuck out of his followers. He sold them a $2 bill for $100. He also pump and dumped not one ... but TWO crypto coins.

I would be in favor of destroying these data centers regardless of the president.
