TEL AVIV — The U.S. and Israel have launched strikes against Iran with the goal of toppling the regime, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.

Iran retaliated by launching missiles at Israel and a U.S. naval base in Bahrain. An Iranian official said all Israeli and U.S. interests in the region were now considered legitimate targets.

I hope everyone enjoys the explosive new prices that result.

This is the kind of stuff that trump and his ilk are all about.

To build on this, the anti-American sentiment is what fuels the xenophobia of that party. "Fuck America" is what makes people go "ya know what let's just not have allies anymore" and start threatening everyone.

Nuance isn't that hard. It's simple, actually. Fuck the people who are in charge of and in support of these decisions. Fuck the people who actually gain from fucking over the rest of the world.

It's not like Trump intends to listen to me or my trans husband anyway. If anything, even against the NRA's wishes (by some miracle), he wants us to be ineligible to even own a gun.
