What did Trump get in exchange for cease-fire?

"Accidents" happen.

OTOH, leaving a mess for others to clean up is impolite. In your area, renting a boat to go "fishing" and a body never found leaves doubt. Just don't leave any blood in the boat.

My Plan A is a walk on a mountaintop deep in the woods, facing west at sunset with a handful of pills on a cold night. I'd bring my 1911A1 for self-defense and Plan B. LOL

Obviously that's a last resort. Kinda like Marine leaders who call in artillery fire on their own position when being overrun by the enemy.

If in poor health, another plan is simply drugged/drunk driving off a cliff. Oops. Terrible accident.

Why people are afraid of dying when in severe pain is odd to me. It strikes me as a fundamental fear of facing judgment to fear death when the outlook is hopeless and full of pain.

The reality is that despite my inherent gloominess, I have never once contemplated suicide.
I still have some function in the family dynamic.

I do very much believe in euthanasia being available for those whose who feel that their lives
have devolved into a completely negative experience. America's oppressive religious influences prevent that.

I asked you if Obama stopped Iran's ambitions for a nuclear weapon or destroyed what they had. You said no. Do you deny it?

Obama settled the Iran nuke problem. Trump, in his usual stupid fashion, destroyed the deal. Now the talk of a deal is following the lines of Obama's deal, with far less-qualified people involved. Obama had nuclear scientists involved. It also included 5 countries. It was a big deal done properly. Sending Vance is not the same.

Good. Me neither. OTOH, my life experience has been in operations and I'm always considering options, contingency plans. It's one thing to consider committing suicide and another to think "If".

Lots of JPP MAGAts are very unhappy with their lives. They spread their pain to others. My advice to them is to get help. If they don't or can't, then they should consider alternate ways to end their pain.

FWIW, I'm against murder. Killing in self-defense or war is not a problem, but murder is wrong. It's evil. Most mass shooters or domestic murder/suicides involve mentally ill people. I support our society getting such people help before they harm others or themselves.

Trump has an obsession with Obama. The usual guess is because Trump is a racist fuckwit and hates the fact that Obama was elected President twice. Trump has done everything within his power to tear down Obama's legacy. The Iran deal was just one example.

Tearing something down only to rebuild it with one's own name on it only serves the interest of the person doing it, not those who have to live with the consequences.
