How ******* Stupid Can You Get?

Is it wise to invest in prodding

the walls of a hornet's nest?

Stoking a storm of rage just to show

the world you have the courage to push

your luck with no thought for friends

with no plan for a means to an end.

You want to know how far they will fly

and how hard they are prepared to try

to get under your skin and sting your ass.

Will your arrogance lead to deathly impasse?

A metaphor for not unnecessarily provoking? Rhiannon

I can't figure out Nancy's thought process, even Joe was not happy about it. Another politician pumped up by self-importance (as most are I guess)

I wondered about this, too. She is about to retire? Perhaps feeling she wants to be someone on world stage? There was a series called Brain Dead, before Trump got in, which would explain it

They came up with the ER series laugh

I read she might be trying to make a splash before losing her position as speaker of the house of representatives after the primarys. There's confidence for you!

I think she will make lot of spashes as Chinese missiles drop in the Taiwan Strait.

Not a clever thing to do. Maybe she ate some of that fungus which controls the brain of ants.

I wondered what nest you were talking about? so many tripwires strung all over the world. Pelosi was dumb, but with the moron's moron no longer President, I think it's not as bad as it could be. Ironically, Putin's disastrous invasion of Ukraine, has I think put China off (but what do I know). Guesswork. We're increasingly a hair breath from armageddon. That I do know.

but now she's just another geriatric politician feeding her ego. As you say dumb 

The World is run by geriatrics. Most of them are in their seventies or very late sixties. Some like Nancy and soon to be Biden are octogenerians. Don't get me wrong I'm an old goat too, but I don't make decisions that will affect people's lives for decades. (and don't want to).

Leaders should be forced to step down at 60 years of age. I'm not saying the younger ones are better (Boris, Diddy David Bush Blair Truss?? etc etc ) but at least they have to face the consequences of their actions, even get jailed.

When you're dead you can't feel shamed embarrassed, guilty, humiliated, sad and so on. 

Certainly we are in as much danger as we were in 1962, but nobody listens to the UN now.

less and less land able to produce food, the worst weather effects from climate change in places with highest populations, fewer jobs because of mechanisation so less money to support service jobs so no lawful way to help yourself. and those with money to invest in solar in sahara, for example, are choosing to invent space travel, which is a propellant to climate change...
