No Bloody Nose

I know I'm trying to keep my mind on the environment, but the latest news has got the hair at the back of my neck standing on end, on and off for hours now. All you twitter people are not helping.

If Trump does a preemptive strike against North Korea, he will be dead wrong. Isn't it against international law to attack without provocation?

This 'bloody nose' that they keep talking about could easily escalate into a nuclear response. I live in range. It would be a colossal waste of life, environment, time, money, and resources to start this fight where only posturing had been evident in North Korea's actions. Hell, they're uniting with South Korea for the Olympics! How cool is that?

Does anyone else think Trump is so desperate to throw suspicion off himself in Mueller's Russia investigation that he's willing to throw the west half of the nation under the bus?

Scratch that. Of course he'd throw us all under the bus. We voted against him, against racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and intolerance on this coast. So if our half of the country is at risk of cracking off at about Idaho south to Arizona after a nuclear hit, then 2020 might be a go for Trump after all, right?

I'm beginning to understand why so many of my friends stopped watching the news and reading social media. At least they'll be able to live their lives in relative comfort until the moment their shadows are permanently thrown against the brick walls they'd been standing near at ground zero.

It's worse than denying climate change and cutting off Bears Ears. We may all be fucked, immediately fucked.

Thank you for listening, jules
