Like a Well-Oiled Machine

Y’ever watch a whole school of fish suddenly change direction all at once? Thousands of creatures with less brainpower than a smartwatch all executing a one-eighty simultaneously with a level of precision that makes the finest human drill team look shambolic? 

Well, if a foolish consistency truly is the hobgoblin of little minds, as Emerson famously wrote, then the right wing grifterverse has some galaxy brains indeed. What's the wildest part is that any random MAGA-on-the-street will still give you an earful about neocons and John Bolton and regime change.





My little mind was agin' it when Bush did it in Iraq in '03, and was agin' it when Obama did it in Libya in '11, and I'm still agin' it now.
