Moderate Republican Takes a Stand
Lindsey Graham, one of the two Republican Senators alleged throughout the mainstream media to actually be sane, spoke out today about Donald Trump's infantile warmongering:
An unprovoked military aggression by the United States might result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in four countries, cause massive destruction and result in political disruption and a refugee crisis similar to what we are now seeing in Syria. But who cares? None of these people belong to the groups the Republican party panders to, and let's not forget that none of their citizens are white. So who cares who we kill, as long as we can reverse the decay of support for the worst President in history, and help the Republicans hang on to power, regardless of how criminal they are?
This sort of reasoning truly justifies comparison with the Nazis. And this is the view of the moderate end of the Republican party. And remember, the Nazis had a real ideology, however contemptible, which they really believed in. These guys are doing it for nothing but money and power.
"Yes, it would be terrible, but the war would be over there, it wouldn't be here...It would be bad for the Korean peninsula, it would be bad for China, it would be bad for Japan, it would be bad for South Korea, it would be the end of North Korea but what it would not do is hit America"

NOTE: Because April 20 is Green Eagle's favorite day of the year, I will refrain from insulting him.
As for my favorite day of the year, I am sure you are referring to 4-20, the day named after the California criminal code number for marijuana use, which has become quite the celebration of pot in this country. Actually, I essentially gave up pot along with other recreational drugs (except single malt scotch) around 1980. By now, I expect it is finally out of my bloodstream. I do wonder if you have been hitting the following rather hard:

I don't consume alcohol, as it can cause a potentially fatal reaction with other medication.
绿鹰非常笨 (Don't jump to conclusions.)
And I don't mean the birth of noted Turkish Jewish leader and Armenian Genocide denier Albert Jean Amateau, though it wouldn't surprise me if he thought that was an additional way to insult you.
Do you still partake?
For those who don't know about April 20, Nazis celebrate it as Hitler's birthday (1889).
And sorry, but I have never had a piece of pineapple upside down cake, I'm afraid, although I do still celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate day every September 19th.
