God fucking dammit, I'm tired of waking up on random Saturdays only to find that Trump decided to invade/attack another country. And I'm tired of seeing the same MAGA people (including a few in my family) who were all "America First, get us out of forever wars" cheering him on when he's doing EXACTLY the opposite of what he said, and they suffer not a minute of cognitive dissonance. America, Fuck Yeah yippe-ki-yay motherfuckers. Have the day you voted for.

Oddly enough I was up watching Joker on Friday night, and identifying with the nihilist message threaded throughout, much as I do when I watch Fight Club. It's not that I'm promoting it as a philosophy worthy of action, but it speaks to that place in my soul that just wants to tear everything down sometimes. A vicarious outlet that helps me reset and focus on the good in the world instead after acknowledging my own dark side.

Then I wake up to Iran being bombed.

Fuck this timeline, and fuck Trump in particular (though CERTAINLY not in the literal sense) for somehow managing to bring out the worst in everybody and everything he touches, and skate away free of consequences every. damn. time. For now, I'm hoping this ends as well as it can, which is that Iran institutes a new government and Trump loses interest since he has the attention span of a gerbil. And of course that someday very soon that great big coronary comes his way and we can be rid of him forever.
