22. I was screaming at NPR's reporting on the felon's declarations of intent to commit war crimes of ever greater magnitude.

I couldn't believe it. Even fucking NPR! Not ONCE in the discussion did anyone even bother to point out that destroying power plants, oil wells, and water desalination facilities are ALL war crimes that no America with even a single moral fiber can tolerate. The congresscritter they had on was TERRIBLE. Changed the subject from the intolerably immoral, unconscionable, horrific threats to affordability and fucking gas prices.

Other drivers must have figured I'd lost my mind or something.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Have the atrocities he has committed, and that he intends to commit, become some sort of "given" that reporters have decided aren't worth even mentioning anymore? If they pointed it out once a month ago, do they think they don't have to say it again? WTF. MY BRAIN HURTS!

Why the hell aren't headlines like these dominating every news feed:

"Trump declares his intent to commit war crimes and turn the United States into a global pariah"

"Trump's list of war crimes mounts."

"Trump promises to sentence millions of innocent Iranians to death if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened"

"Destruction of Iran's power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants would cause catastrophic civilian deaths that would rapidly exceed the combined total of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and could ultimately cause the death of millions.
