I’m 100% sure we don’t really know what, if any, peace deal has been made, but it must include complete denuclearization Libya-style, and it must include complete freedom of navigation in the Strait. No ballistic missile program. No support for proxies. No relaxation of sanctions. Our military pounded those assholes, and could continue the punishment. Why are we not pushing for unconditional surrender? @AmbJohnBolton
I’m visiting SF in the midst of the @RepSwalwell blow up. It seems pretty clear that his misbehavior was well-known amongst his staff, journalists, and other representatives. It did not become a priority to publicize it until it appeared that there might be two Republicans left after the gubernatorial jungle primary. Seems like the billionaire might have procured some timely testimonies…
Was it a 4D chess move to secure Venezuela’s oil before taking Iran’s offline? I usually tend to denigrate Trump’s mental capacity, but this sequence of events may cause me to rethink that opinion. However, he may slap on giant border taxes again, and I’ll be back to thinking he’s an idiot…
#FreeIran The mullahs have been at war with the US since the embassy was seized in 1979. They subsequently planned and financed the 1983 Beirut attacks on the US Embassy and the Marine Barracks. They sponsored the Khobar Towers attack in KSA, and then killed around 600 servicemen with EFPs in Iraq. This does not even cover all the Americans and Israelis killed by their proxy militias. They must be removed.
Surprised that there aren’t more celebratory posts about SCOTUS saving the economy with the anti-tariff ruling. One only needs to read the black letter law in the Constitution to know that Trump’s tariff regime was not allowed. Disappointed in Thomas, Alioto and Kavenaugh. Looking forward to reading their dissent.
Ashamed. Normal Americans feel only gratitude to our allies who stood with us against Al Queda, the Taliban and ISIS. Thank you for your sacrifices.
Did Trump just immunize (well I guess that’s a fraught term in his administration) Zelenskyy from assassination by making such a big deal about Putin’s faux-assassination attempt claim? If so, 3D chess well-played! Maybe Ukrainian intelligence baited Trump into buying the false claim? That’s OK by me!
It’s another counter-protest Wednesday, and interestingly I was really able to trigger the Hamassholes today (no, not that way, no Molotov cocktails, either!).
What were they most upset about? Car horns. We (Prayson joined me today) were berated via the bullhorn, and in person, that the people honking “were not honking for the hostages.” OK. How would one know that? By my observation, we seemed to be getting a lot of waves and thumbs up in addition to honks. I am pleased that people in Durham do not seem to blindly support murderers, rapists, homophobes, and kidnappers.
In another first for me, a lady walked across the street to video us and tell us we were racists. Was a first for me, but Prayson said it had happened to him before. Truthfully, none of the signs refer to race or ethnicity. She asked how we could abide the starving of Gaza, and I asked her why the hostages couldn’t be released. Really, their ethnic-cleansing chant of “from the river to the sea” seemed the closest to a race-based element of either of our protests.
I really do think some people are moral imbeciles.
Heads of State playing now on Prime Video. This could have been terrible, and, yes, it is dumb, but Chopra Jonas is beautiful, and Cena and Elba have a really unexpected chemistry. I love Jack Quaid, too. Kept me laughing throughout! watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=…
Federal facilities should not be named for traitors or insurrectionists. Particularly military installations. Please, check with a historian.
