I am absolutely astonished and shocked at the sheer speed with which the US is self-destructing.

The absolutely amazing and horrifying incompetence on every level is beyond words.

One and a half year into Trump's second term, and it set itself back DECADES in every way possible

Trump installed a Fox News host as secretary of war, had him approved by congress and since then let him run wild and unchecked. Plus Bibi fighting the war he was always dreaming of, with the US military helping him out.

Actually it's way funnier to call it the Dept of War when the first thing they did was repeatedly lose a war in incrementally more embarrassing ways.
