Trump Impeachment Watch: “Mother of all bombs” edition

Did it work? Were you distracted? By “the mother of all bombs” (MOAB, which actually stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast, which is no less juvenile) the thoroughly grotesque, $16-million, 11-ton monster of doom our very own orange monster of doom sort of maybe allowed to have dropped on ISIS caves, killing a few dozen Islamic fighters (at a cost of, oh, about $450,000per) and creating hundreds more in instantly raging counter-recruitment?
It was, as breathlessly reported just about everywhere, “the largest non-nuclear device ever dropped by American forces,” which sounds impressive, but actually isn’t, considering its absurd expense and near-complete ineffectiveness at actually changing anything – but mostly considering how the bomb will ultimately fail its primary task – eliminating the endless delights of #RussiaGate, AKA the imminent impeachment gift that keeps on giving.
Be not distracted. Not by Trump’s spitwad-grade understanding of military and foreign policy, nor any other of his acts of buffoonery and moral violence of the week – like China’s president forced to school our imbecile-in-chief on basic North Korean relations, or Trump’s complete reversal on the value of NATO, or his signing of a vicious law – in secret, of course – allowing states to completely defund Planned Parenthood, because women are very important to the president the way a bird is important to a shotgun.
Death also comes in bright shiny orange, not just the pallid, sickly shade of POTUS
Be hereby advised: Neither Trump’s vicious incompetence nor his macho, phallic posturing are any sort of match for what’s coming in the Russia investigation, as evidenced by the endlessly gathering storm-clouds of intel constantly swirling, surging, quieting down for an hour only to leap into view all over again, much to the orange goblin’s dismay.
