New Saw one that viewed that from the other direction
I owe the producers of the Jurassic Park movies an apology. It turns out rich people absolutely would reopen a park after it keeps killing people.

We Elected Another President Who Doesn't Read and Now We're Facing the Consequences
"Like his most recent Republican predecessor, President Trump ignored intelligence reports—which he never reads anyway—and it has cost us dearly".


Longtime viewers of The Great American Shitshow might remember the last time we installed a manifest incompetent in the Oval Office. He lied us into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people, cost us $2 trillion that we could have spent improving the lives of Americans, and destabilized an entire region of the world. One of the lies was that Saddam Hussein had connections to al Qaeda, which attacked us on September 11. There was no connection—we also never found those Weapons of Mass Destruction—but in this way, the Iraq War became an extension of our frenzied retribution for 3,000 American deaths.

It was also an extension of George W. Bush and his administration's attempts to bury the significant evidence of their own incompetence leading up to September 11, immortalized in reports on a presidential briefing from August 6, 2001, titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." That was actually just one in a series of briefings to the same effect, all of which Bush at the very least failed to respond adequately to, and at worst completely ignored. It's not like al Qaeda had never attacked us before. It seems the theatrical displays of Man Strength that have long characterized Republican presidential offerings prove less effective in protecting the homeland than reading your intelligence reports.

Since we adamantly refuse to learn from our mistakes, we once again have put a blustering incompetent in charge, and once again the whole reading-and-listening thing has proven an issue. Strangely enough, Donald J. Trump was perhaps the first major Republican figure to publicly trash the Iraq War, and specifically question Bush's record of supposedly Keeping America Safe. This was likely primarily to clown on Jeb(!) Bush on the debate stage, but it was also true. And yet, predictably, Trump learned none of the useful lessons from that scenario, likely because he knew little-to-nothing of the details.
