My friend posted it; I couldn't have said it better:

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn't a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they couldn't build the nuclear bomb they weren't building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn't start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

the dimwitted mouth breathers who subscribe to that particular brand of rancid bullshit would nod their empty heads in agreement without understanding one word of it.

I hope Kimmel is lurking here in the shadows and picks up on it.

"Hate brown people. Libs bad. Republicans good. Hate brown people." Everything else just rolls off of them like water off a duck.

Of course, that explains much of US foreign policy for the last 80 years. At least prior administrations were smart enough not to say stupid parts out loud. This regime, like most stupid people, is too stupid to realize how stupid they are and just say stupid things with reckless abandon.

Rush Limbaugh programmed them years ago that he would do their thinking for them.
