Iran is governed by a theocracy, whose people wants a democracy. The USA is governed by a democracy, whose government wants a theocracy. And here we are talking about the USA attempting regime change in Iran by force. I'll leave it to you to ponder possible outcomes.

If you are still working for ICE at this point, you deserve whatever shit lands on you. Anybody "disillusioned" should FUCKING QUIT, and spill the beans on illegal activity. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I want everyone to be clear about what went down in Indiana, concerning redistricting. Point 1: This was no a case of Republican suddenly becoming concerned about "fairness". Point 2: This was not a case of Republicans finding a set and standing up to Trump. Point 3: They can count. That is all.

Elaboration follows. Point 1: The congressional districts are optimized for a republican majority of 7-2. They had to really do some gymnastics to pull that off. Same at the state level. If they really cared about fairness, Indiana would be 6-3 or 5-4, as the state is 40 - 50% democrat.

Point 2: Braun is an utter suckup. The Indiana republican party foisted Beckwith on Braun as his Lt. Governor, even though he is too repugnant even for Braun. Indiana republicans at both the federal and state level are fully in on rump/maga/christian nationalism. No way they stood up to trump.

Point 3: Due to the gerrymandering in Indiana, any change to the already optimal for republican districts would put republican seats at risk. What would be worse for the Indiana Republican party? Caving in and losing a seat as a result, or staying where they are at 7-2?

STOP calling Bondi, Leavit, and Noem "Barbie <whatever>". An actual Barbie doll has more brains and self respect than the three of them combined. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Remember this on your Labor Day: the jackass who spends a third of his time playing golf on the taxpayer dime and has never done a second of labor his entire degenerate life, says that we have too many national holidays. Fuck him. 70+ Million morons voted for that asshole. Fuck them, too.

This is a crock of shit. 1) We shouldn't be building concentration camps. 2) We shouldn't be spending $1.2B on this shit. 3) The contract is secret, and you can't find jack shit about the company that got it. The fleecing continues. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

Noem was awarded an honorary dictorate. She told students their education is important, “But I will tell you that the world still revolves on relationships. People will be successful based on the people that they know and the people that they spend time with.” So much for the MAGA meritocracy.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

I'm looking at the pics of Noem posing with ICE agents. She's always holding the gun...like she's never held a gun before. That makes me wonder if she was full of crap about shooting the dog. I think she probably tossed that in to make her look tough to a particular set of voters.

Here is what folks don't understand: Many of Trump's companies went bankrupt. That was all by design. In the 80s and 90s, it became a sort of business plan to raise capital, start up a company, drain all the liquid capital out and stash it elsewhere, declare bankruptcy, and stiff the creditors.

Now, he is following a similar plan with the US. The tariff money will be funneled into this so-called Department of External Revenue, which is just going to be a slush fund, and Trump and his cronies are going to stiff the citizens of the US.
