mastodon 4.7.3Was looking forward to a "more perfect union", and a reinterpretation of our "well regulated militia" currently gunning us down. Oh well. The US needs rank-choice voting to end extremism... which will also end the 2-party system.

#trump says “86” is common mob slang for assassination, and clarifies that “you see it in all the movies”

#iran will want a #nuclear capability as long as Israel has one. #Israel won’t relinquish its nuclear capability (among other things) as long as any rival in the Mideast has #nukes.
#Pakistan will have nukes as long as #india does. India will have nukes as long as #china does. China will have nukes as long as #trump does. The #us will have nukes as long as #Russia and #china do
So, if we want Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, it starts with the US, China, and Russia abandoning nukes
