Trumpian 'logic'

It's fine to bomb Syrians who are attacking Syrians but it's not good to let the people you're trying to protect from getting bombed into your country  because they make more Syrians who might get pissed off you bombed Syria. 


Seriously, the stupid, it burns.

How to tell if you're a horrible person (refugee edition)

If you're bitching about immigrants from Syria and all the other war torn and politically and religiously oppressed countries having smart phones, then you're a horrible person.

These people who have left their lives, homes, and in many cases, their families, are from the upper classes of where ever they lived before.  They had money, professional careers, prestige, and a bit of power before the wars or US invasions, so of course they can afford to have cell and smart phones.  And if they left family member behind, they need to stay in touch with them. The people who can't afford to own smart and cell phones are the ones stuck living in the hell our foreign policy helped create.

If you think that the refugees who paid a shitload of money to get smuggled out of their home countries are dirt poor and coming to the west in order to freeload off the 'generous' benefits offered by European countries, then you're a fucking horrible person.  These people owned businesses, employed others, worked professional careers in their old lives, and they just want to be able to do that in a non war torn or politically oppressive country.

If you oppose taking these refugees in because they are Muslim, don't speak your language, or because you think they're going to 'ruin' your country, then you're a super fantastically shitty horrible excuse for a human being and you should go fuck yourself.

How do you feel about the way President Obama has handled the situation in Syria?

 "I'm too busy to care what he's doing because I'm screwing my neighbor's wife."

 "I'm ready to go to war again.  I'm bored sitting at home and suffering with PTSD."

 "I'm pissed he didn't start the war I didn't want him to start.  This diplomacy shit, Bush never did it.  I just can't get used to it."

 "Obama is still president?  Holy shit, what year is this?"

 "Syria?  Why do I need to care about Syria?  Let those crazy Muslim bastards kill one another.  I've got more important things to worry about, like this computer for instance.  Hello?  1998 called, it wants this 600 pound computer back."

 "Can't we let Israel do our dirty work over there?  They've done such a bang up job oppressing the Palestinians, they ought to kick those Syrians asses."

 "I'm sitting on a fucking rock and acting like I'm meditating.  That should tell you all you need to know about how little I think about things."

 "I often wonder what would become of me if President Obama ran his dusky hands all over my body before he took my clothes off me and made me his Oval Office love slave."

"My husband told me that I'm all for the opposite of what ever he does."

"Let's not talk about Syria, let's talk about what Ben Affleck as Batman will do if the government shuts down.  Will he come to our aid?  Or will he be all like, 'I've got to save Jenny from the block and that chick from Alias.'?  That's what I want to know.  And also, I want to know when my meds will be here."

Quick hits (Syrian war edition)

• I support the upcoming war on Syria as much as I supported the illegal Bush/Cheney/Powell led wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. 
• Hey liberals and Democrats, hypocrite much?  You opposed the wars of terror under Bush but now that Obama is in charge, you're all in on Syria?  Fuck that.  If it was wrong under Bush, it's wrong under Obama.
• Hey conservatives and Republicans, hypocrite much?  When Bush was in charge you cried that the rest of us HAD to support him in his war mongering because he was President.  Now that we've got a scary black Democrat in charge, it's suddenly fine not to support his warmongering?  Fuck you.  
• Too bad we all can't be like the Church of England.  They invested a load of money in armaments manufacturers and now they're reaping the benefits of all the death and destruction caused by said armaments.  Hooray!  Jesus would be so fucking proud of you.
• The only war in the Middle East I can support is a war to stop Israeli genocide.  If we don't stop those mad bastards, they'll wipe out Palestinians in just a few years.
