Let’s blow up the moon!

Wars are popular because they are big fun projects that we can all work on together by growing victory gardens, collecting scrap metal, and donating blood. Wars also pit us (good) against them (evil). That's a bonus.

Wednesday Open Thread [6.1.16]

Yesterday was yet another example of the fascism that awaits us and the press/media should Trump be elected President. So when Trump decided to be a coward and avoid Megyn Kelly's questions in a January debate on Fox News, he held an alleged fundraiser on the same night for veterans. He said at the time that they raised around $6 million. Several months later, some reporters began looking into whether Trump actually had raised that amount, whether he donated any himself during the fundraiser as he boasted he had, and whether any money had actually been donated to any veteran group at all. The Washington Post published a story questioning the donations last week. The Associated Press reported that about half of the 41 organizations to which Trump’s campaign donated received checks in the past week, typically dated May 24, the day the Post’s story was published. So Donald Trump got caught defrauding Veterans and lying about it, and he lashed out at the press for daring to question him. He is a fascist dictator in the making. Frack that, he's already been made.
