Today's Tiedrich rant: oh look, Elderly Golfer is a geopolitical madman
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/oh-look-elderly-golfer-is-a-geopolitical
hey, remember back when George W. Bush was the worst president we ever had? Junior Bush famously surrounded himself with neocons power-mad warmongers like Paul Wolfson and Michael Ledeen who filled his ear with nonsense about a grand vision of permanent American dominance that could be achieved by thoroughly fucking the Middle Easts shit.
George W. took their advice, and lied us into pointless and disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. he tried to dick with Iran as best he could, too. we all know how totally awesome twenty years of Middle East quagmires turned out for us.
well, shove over, George, and make room theres a new worst president ever in town. Donny Convict is also being advised to achieve dominance by fucking shit up on a global scale but hes not listening to the neocons, who at least had some level of experience in foreign policy.
no, Donny has surrounded himself with a fucktangle of vainglorious lunatics who have no idea what theyre talking about, and no earthly clue how to achieve their batshit goals. Donnys being advised by Sewer Cons.

[I believe the "It" clown-in-the-sewer is Tiedrich's favorite go-to image right now. He has used it constantly for the last 5 or 6 weeks.]
This rant is mostly about Chump's comments, tweets and complaints against Panama, Mexico, Canada, and Greenland. WTF? Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

Turns out there IS such a thing as too much money and power in the hands of one person.
