Trump is freaking out. Why? Because Iran is political posion, and trump knows it. Know how?

Because it's the same poison he ran against twice...and now he's the one handing out the kool-aid. And, like an animal that can sense a predator but isn't sure yet exactly where it is, his MAGA base also has that sense that this solo cup they've been handed maybe doesn't smell quite right, they're fucking terrified that the 'drink up' order will actually come down, and they will have no choice but to obey....

BECAUSE ITS A CULT.
and now is the last act where the cult leader goes fully off the rails and out of his rotting mind, and everyone who won't drink it down, is just shot.

yes, the leaders rather take all cult members with them and also people trying to save the cult members.

My family members have told me about Aunt Natlee in San Francisco during the Jim Jones era. Aunt Natlee was a member of the cult and although many cult members gave up all their monies and property to Jim Jones, Aunt Natlee did keep her home.

They tried to talk her out of joining Jim Jones to Guyana. She got to the airport ready to get on the plane, and her family stopped her and brought her back home.

Aunt Natlee never forgot what her family did, they saved her life and she was grateful until she died.

... to report everything he does is okie dokie & hunkie dory.

The stock market will soon be 70,000 points, a chicken in everyone's pot, a private Lear jet in everyone's garage, and finally a 24 carat solid gold toilet in everyone's bathroom.

America's Golden Age is here upon us - because trDUMPie made it so.

He doesn't care enough about anything to freak out. He wants to burn it all down and nobody is stopping him.
