Agreed on bullshit. Let's not forget who laughed at "only" 61 COVID deaths, preached HCQ and declared masks don't work.
My best advice is to consider who is intellectually average or better and who is an intellectual midget following Trump.
Trump. ‘61.

Defect or illness? Both might be correctable like a cleft palate or the flu. What is the correction for mental illness in the US? Most of it is like Catch-22:
"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to, but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. "
Mentally ill people often don't believe they are mentally ill and, therefore, do not seek treatment.

My dad piloted a B-17. It apparently was awful. There is a great special on HBO called 'The Cold Blue'. It's eye opening.

Agreed it was awful. As a kid in the 60s, I was an avid reader of WWII history. Specifically aviation history. Both Edward Jablonski and Martin Caidin had excellent books on the air war and both had books on the B-17 alone.
When a bomber went down, 10 men went with it. 60 B-17s were downed in a single raid on the Schweinfurt ball-bearing factory. 600 men missing at the mess tables that night who had been at breakfast that morning. It was horrific and, in my childish eyes, I grew up wanting to be there. I outgrew that by my late 30s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweinfurt–Regensburg_mission
The Schweinfurt–Regensburg mission was a strategic bombing mission during World War II carried out by Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers of the U.S. Army Air Forces on August 17, 1943. The mission was an ambitious plan to cripple the German aircraft industry; it was also known as the "double-strike mission" because it entailed two large forces of bombers attacking separate targets in order to disperse fighter reaction by the Luftwaffe. It was also the first American "shuttle" mission, in which all or part of a mission landed at a different field and later bombed another target before returning to its base...
...The 60 aircraft lost on a single mission more than doubled the highest previous loss at that time. There were also 55 to 95 additional aircraft badly damaged. Of those damaged, many were stranded in North Africa and never repaired.[1][2][4] Three P-47 Thunderbolts of the 56th Fighter Group and two RAF Spitfires were shot down attempting to protect the Schweinfurt force.
Spitfire pilots claimed 13 German fighters shot down and P-47 pilots claimed 19.[19][20] Gunners on the bombers claimed 288 fighters shot down,[21][22] but Luftwaffe records showed only 25 to 27 were lost.[1][2][3]
In Regensburg, all six main workshops of the Messerschmitt factory were destroyed or severely damaged, as were many supporting structures including the final assembly shop. In Schweinfurt, the destruction was less severe but still extensive. The two largest factories, Kugelfischer & Company and Vereinigte Kugellager Fabrik I, suffered 80 direct hits.[23] 35,000 m² (380,000 square feet) of buildings in the five factories were destroyed, and more than 100,000 m² (1,000,000 square feet) suffered fire damage.[24] All the factories except Kugelfischer had extensive fire damage to machinery when incendiaries ignited the machine oil used in the manufacturing process.[25]
Albert Speer reported an immediate 34 percent loss of production,[26] but both the production shortfall and the actual loss of bearings were made up for by extensive surpluses found throughout Germany in the aftermath of the raid. The industry's infrastructure, while vulnerable to a sustained campaign, was not vulnerable to destruction by a single raid. Speer indicated that the two major flaws made by the USAAF in the August strike were first in dividing their force instead of all striking the ball-bearing plants, and second, failing to follow up the first strike with repeated attacks.[27][28][29]
203 civilians were also killed in the strike...
My dad flew 13 missions. Two of the first twelve ended with a damaged aircraft. Number 13 was shot down over Hamburg, and he spent the next year plus in a POW camp. The odds of getting to 25 were almost nil.

It’s common with TDS. Delusions coupled with denial.

The war was costly both in blood and money. It explains putting a rush on ending it, even with a nuke. No one wants to be the last person killed in a war.

Last: Anthony J. Marchione (Aug. 18, 1945) — Twenty-year-old Sgt. Anthony Marchione served as a gunner and photographer with the 20th Reconnaissance Squadron. In August 1945, his unit was placed in U.S.-held Okinawa. He was flying in a B-32 sent to photograph Tokyo. When two of the accompanying aircraft were forced to return to Okinawa with oil leaks, defensive firepower was cut in half and Marchione’s plane, along with one other from their squadron, were forced to prolong their time over Japan in order to photograph targets. Eventually, Marchione’s plane was met by Japanese pilots. A 20 mm cannon round fired through the B-32, killing Marchione. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, American Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. It took four years for his remains to be repatriated to his home in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

And also retards who think Trump is "the Chosen One". Those dumb fucks really, really hate it when you ridicule Trump. They don't give a shit if you rag on every president since Washington, but they really get their panties in a wad if you say anything negative about Trump. IMO, those people are mentally deficient in some manner.

Sooooo....after getting your ass reamed about "TDS" you suddenly don't care about the man who brought Reality TV to the White House?
Dude, the Insurrection has reality tv written all over it. 14,000 hours of fucking tapes from police themselves. Even if only a tenth of it was usable for a 1 hour episode, that's still 1,400 episodes. There's only 12-20 episodes per year for each television show.
"The Insurrection" could run for years telling different stories of the people who were there that day and where they are now. Most would be in a mental hospital or prison. That adds to the drama even when the audience sees it coming. LOL
