Republicans don't care about the possibility of World War III.
Corker warned them and they yawned.
That's the state of American politics.
One party is willing to chance WWIII in order to cut taxes for the 1% and destroy the legacy of our first African American President.

(82,849 posts)The country can go to hell, they're obsessed with tax cuts for people and corporations that can't spend what they have now, but who need more, and that right quick. Luckily for them, our faultless media are similarly craven, and will never call them out on their collective cowardice. If we survive this calamity by some stroke of enormous luck we don't deserve, they will all agree to never mention this episode again. When was the last time you heard a discouraging word about W and his feckless administration?

the media has no shame when it comes to politics...they did more than anyone to get this asshole elected but have
never taken an ounce of blame nor do they have any regrets....it's just more 'reality' teevee for them....news = revenue.

But I'm not supposed to call people who are fine with nuclear fallout idiots. I'm supposed to "reach out". I'm supposed to be damn proud that John McCain stepped up and said no thanks to the whole war bit. Oh that didn't happen.
Bitch if World War III doesn't "reach" you, you're a fucking idiot and you need to be quarantined. Every last GOP congressman is screwing their constituents--but at least their constituents are represented with the same mode of thought; "I can deny facts because I'm a fucking idiot."
They're a danger to the planet I want them slapped and locked away.

The fact that they are cowering in silence is a heavy indication that, for now, they are not.
