1. Trump takes on Medes and Persians.

2. Dems say taking on Medes, Persians will lead to catastrophic consequences.

3. Medes, Persians grimace fearsomely, froth at mouth, launch missiles, a quarter of which fail, remainder of which hit dirt and concrete, causing zero casualties.

4. Medes, Persians with itchy trigger fingers shoot down airliner full of innocents.

5. Medes, Persians left with egg on face.

6. Dems flat wrong on taking on Medes and Persians.

7. Dems pass symbolic non-binding resolution demanding to be in charge of further festivities with Iran.

#3  You're dealing with retarded random number generators. There is noise within noise. Kinda like a Zen koan. Will drive you nuts putting logic to it.

#1  You got to understand. They are not of the American tribe. They have no loyalty to the American Tribe (see - border wall). They are loyal only to power and what or who can give them power.
