there is no "downfall of America" that doesn't involve americans suffering more, maybe even getting a small taste of what living in a poor country is like lol. not that this at all dissuades me in cheering for the downfall of America.
That's already been happening to parts of Texas, Florida and other States, has it not. They've already proven that they've no wish as a Nation to help their own communities out of poverty. The downside of all this is that poor areas just get poorer, the middle classes and rich have a buffer to work with.
While I appreciate the good intentions of the fine folks at r/antifastonetoss, they owe the entire internet an apology for the psychic damage they did to 2020s humor.
I went into a ward to visit someone and asked the nurse why they'd put white paper over the windows of the dementia ward. The nurses said its because otherwise it freaks the patients out (or some of them). I worry that Biden, with access to the nukes and other security issues is at risk of this sort of fear-response over mundane things.
He and Trump are both not suitable to be President

The nuclear button isn't a literal button. There's a bunch of layers between the President and the actual execution of a nuclear strike.
I would consider a more pressing issue that you've got people climbing the ranks that really don't think using a weapon would be so bad. And a gradient that encourages a certain kind of officer, who would sit in the room with a senile President and encourage him to take the most drastic approach.
But that's less a senile old man issue. Worked just as well on young guys like Obama and Clinton as it did old-heads like Trump and Biden.

Given the state of the executive branch and the methods by which Presidents only seem capable of pointing at places on a map and ordering them demolished, I'm not really clear who IS suitable. The best you can hope for is a peacenik President. And that only saves you for four to eight years, before the next guy comes in promising to make up for lost bombings.
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The blind men shout, "Let the creatures out!
We'll show the unbelievers"
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime-time Belsen feast, yeah
As the reasons for the carnage cut
Their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And feed it with our babies
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The body bags and little rags
Of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain
To put the finger right on you
As the mad men play on words
And make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
In the first pokemon opening, it's established that they want to be the best like no one ever was. Therefore, they digress with "you teach me and I'll teach you."
I can only conclude that the US Senate watched Digimon instead. Why didn't they train anyone? Why didn't they pass anything onto the next generation? I thought the coolest thing about coaching BJJ was how much it shored up my fundamentals, but then I got to see how cool it was to see people develop. I guess there's Pete Buttchug, but is he even hanging out with these zomboids?
