The difference is that Trump never dreamed of French-kissing the leader of Iran.

“We learn from history that we do not learn from history.”

- Georg Hegel 

Addendum: “Most especially when you are led by idiots”.

The fact that the US is in no military position to demand unconditional surrender doesn’t register in Trumps shriveled brain. The funny thing about wars is that they are over when your enemy says they are.

These guys don’t need blackmail. They have Trump’s combination of pathological narcissism and pathetic self esteem working in their favor. He literally worships men (and only men) that he perceives to be ‘strong leaders’ and wants desperately to be listed among them. He’ll follow them anywhere.

But now he has power. “Christian” or not, he’d kiss Satan’s ass to keep it.

Please listen to me! I’m trying to stay relevant!!

I’ve often wondered how this will play out on the Arab street. We haven’t heard much from them since the Arab Spring. Still I wonder how they’ll react when Iran is the only power fighting what they see as Israel’s genocide of fellow Arabs and the U.S. support of same.

Puh-Leez. Trump could shit into each coffin and it wouldn’t cost him a single GOP vote. That’s the world we’re in now.

Indeed. The Hate Machine carries on, no matter who visible players are.

The time to join up and show your support for the Epstein war is now. Training good infantry takes time. The first waves in will no doubt be the folks already in service. But there’ll be plenty of room for new patriots as the coffins start coming home in greater numbers.

No doubt there are firms gearing up to go into into production of Zyklon B and high capacity crematoriums. There’s gold in them there camps!

When people use the term “The Epstein class” they’re not just referring to the elites who expect their every desire to be catered to. It also covers the vassals and minions willing to bend the rules or close their eyes to what was often flat-out criminal behavior. The lot of them needs to go.

As an atheist, I have oftentimes found myself wishing there actually was a Hell so motherfuckers like Graham could burn in it. Sadly, all they can do is die.

A great many Trump voters either won’t believe any evidence offered or else don’t care. As for the GOP, most of them know this is probably true but keep silent in order to keep power.

What would Jesus do? Definitely not this.

You assume that the regime and its oligarchic backers give a damn about anyone other than themselves. The only reason they would object to people dying in the street is because the smell might deep into their limousines as they pass.

It’s obvious that the intent of this administration and its backers is to throw the government into such catastrophic debt that they will need to resort to ‘emergency’ measures such as will eliminating programs they have always hated such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

And a textbook example of having a remake which totally sucks.

If I’m going to spend more money on a cab, I’d rather know that some of that was going to the human driving in the front seat. Tesla cabs are part of Musk’s mania for distancing himself from regular people.

When the only reason you have the job is to demonstrate fanatical loyalty to the boss, attempting to shift blame to him, even if justified, is a bad idea. ‘“You had one job…”

I’m not. For once I’m glad I’m not in the ‘Cool Kids’ club.

I dunno. Some films are great because a weird and different vibe. Repeat all the same elements and it’s not different any more.

But only with del Toro at the helm.

Iran’s leadership class is hardly a savvy bunch. They can shoot them selves in the foot with the best of them. However, they understand the social, political, and economic systems of the Middle East far better than we do. And they’re fighting for their lives. That tends to focus one’s attention.

Trump watched Israel committing genocide and thought it looked like fun.

I dunno. Us po’ folks take cabs too. Having a robot drive the car doesn’t have the same cache as a chauffeur. I put it down to Musk’s “drawn by a 12 year old in 1980” aesthetic.

It poops parcels.

As one does.

And why does a ‘taxi’ need to be a sporty two seater? I’ve got three people to get to the bloody airport with luggage for goodness sake.

When I was a kid I used to go ‘babysit’ the old lady across the street whenever there was a thunderstorm. She would go on about how black motorcycle gangs were eating the siding off of peoples houses. She was far more lucid than this turd. And she made chocolate chip cookies.

That video is going need to be a bit longer if they want the MAGA DeathCult to masturbate to it.
