Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report

I appreciate the Onion’s comments about McCain wanting his ashes launched into Iraq. However, I think the most karmically perfect ending might be to watch John Bolton, Lindsey Graham, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of that whole cabal of war-mongering psychopathic vampires in Washington — “snort”- McCains ashes off a blood soaked copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the U.S. is the only industrialized country that has still failed to ratify it). Just saying.
Send the idea to Mr. Fish the cartoonist, and maybe he’ll create a cartoon of it.
Fantastic idea! You can’t beat the irony of that kind of symbolism—at least for those Americans who can somehow understand the current reality.
