Please let him be close to death. Please oh please oh please.

I heard part of it on NPR and he was definitely out of breath. I noticed that right away.

Agreed- my ‘trusted’ sources guess he’s being kept pretty heavily sedated, they had him sniff some Adderall pretty shortly before to shake off the comatose-vibe, resulting in the heavily-sniffing, mouth-breathing train-wreck that just spoke as the leader of the USA.

Also #Adderall & #slurring are trending on Twitter 😐

If he dies soon, Pence will be reelected. It will be like LBJ in '64.

Maybe they will be standing next to each other and Trump will collapse in a deadly heart attack, falling on Pence who then hits his head and dies, too.

Just yesterday I found myself explaining what "swallow your gun" means to someone not American. And then he realized i was crying. I didn't even notice. That's what nearly 20 years of war has done to us. So to start this all over again, to lose more friends and colleagues, to again turn on the news and hold my breath because they might mention someone I know... fuck cadet bone spurs.

Two US officials say it's “highly likely” that an Iranian anti-aircraft missile brought down a Ukrainian passenger plane.

ETA: New York Times has video of the missile hitting the plane

I can’t believe someone shot down a civilian plane full of Iranian nationals.

The Canadians aboard the flight had impressive qualifications and were people who were dedicated to contributing to the knowledge based economy. The Iranian community within Canada is reeling. 63 people within the close knit community is a massive loss.

Brief description those lost are included at this link:

Whoa.

[DesertMoon]

The needless deaths of the Persian community in canadas best and brightest.

[readyin07]

I’m sorry, but the plane turned around before it exploded meaning those poor people knew what was happening?!

Sweet Jesus.

What we do to each other with our bombs and our guns and our hatred and our war. Sickening:

[Velar Fricative]

Yes, from what I read, the missile may not have hit the plane directly. It was reported that it exploded nearby and the debris hit the plane. Passengers and crew would probably have seen it all. It’s horrifying to think about.

This one’s on both Iran AND us. So fucking unnecessary.

The father talking about losing his daughter and wife "to his past" (Iran) was so heartbreaking I cant imagine that man's pain You run across the world away from your homeland to live in peace, and when you're happy it still took everything from him. Ugh it was devastating.

[Vespasia]

Iran admits the plane was shot down due to "human error."

[WOT?*]

I'm wondering if the human error had anything to do with Trump threatening their historic sites. And Sean Hannity stating on his show that they were going after oil facilities (on Tuesday) and planes were supposedly on their way. You *know* they're monitoring Hannity and other sites, knowing that Trump often gets direction or suggestions from Faux News.
Yeah, pretty sure that had them somewhat on edge, and they (erroneously) shot at an aircraft that appeared to be heading toward their military zones, considering it a threat.
