  • No, it doesn’t matter, I’m celebrating either way.

    It would be extra delicious though to find out he was killed by Russians in Ukraine as a favor to Iran as revenge for killing the Grand Ayatollah and the 200 school girls, it would be so good for the soul to know Israel got him killed.






  • “I don’t know what makes this skull and bones different from any other Jolly Roger I’ve ever seen” expecting us to think that’s a reasonable statement is unreasonable.

    You know what a totenkompf is, it’s been shown to you. You’ve seen it, and like a swastika or a blue Israeli 6 pointed star, you can recognize immediately if it’s just a similar design or actually the fucking Nazi symbol.

    You’ll never be watching pirates of the Caribbean and think “is that a totenkompf?” and you’ll never look at Platner’s totenkompf and think “that’s a Jolly Roger”

    And the fact that you’re trying so hard to convince us that you would is apologizing for Nazis.








  • which is what this whole war was about in the first place, especially for Israel.

    It absolutely wasn’t. Satanyahu has been scaremongering about Iran being two weeks away from a nuke for over 40 years, this isn’t any Israel wants to destroy Iran.

    With Syria, Iraq, and Libya dismantled, Iran is the only capable resistance to Israel’s expansionist goals. With collaborator authoritarian leaders in Jordan and Egypt, the only thing stopping Israel from taking them over is Iran. Without Iran and their support for Hezballah, Israel would have taken Lebanon over long ago.

    You’re framing it as a defensive position, where Israel is afraid for its survival, whereas the truth is they are an expansionist ethno-religous supremacist state openly plotting to ethnically cleans the region to expand their living space.


  • Oh please. When the US and Israel attacked Iran and Iran fought back by attacking the gulf countries, the US abandoned all its citizens and told them to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY via commercial airlines while knowing full well the airspace was closed and all flights were cancelled. Other countries not involved in the war chartered flights for their citizens, but the US only evacuated families of government employees and left all expats living and working in the Gulf to fend for themselves.

    These small expensive operations are for progranda purposes only! They don’t give a flying fuck about their core responsibility of rescuing US citizens stuck abroad, and they certainly don’t give a shit when Israel murders US citizens. This is pure propaganda for those willing to believe the US rescues its citizens.


  • People act like Reagan invented the mess we’re in, but Carter helped open the door. He deregulated major industries, embraced austerity politics, empowered Paul Volcker, and helped shift the Democratic Party away from New Deal economics toward market discipline, weakened labor, and “responsible” technocratic cruelty.

    That’s the world we still live in: wages crushed, unions weakened, public goods privatized, housing treated like an investment vehicle, and both parties pretending the market is a law of nature.

    And abroad, his “human rights” branding didn’t stop him from backing dictators, arming reactionaries, and helping set the stage for decades of intervention and blowback. Reagan didn’t create that machinery from scratch, he inherited and escalated it.

    So yes, Carter was smart. Yes, Three Mile Island showed he was calm and technically competent.

    Carter was the polite beginning of the catastrophe. Reagan made it louder. Clinton made it bipartisan. Bush made it apocalyptic. Obama made it sophisticated. Trump made it naked. Biden made it normal again. Trump is now making it permanent.

    He’s unapologetic about his crimes and still talks about them proudly… At what point does it go from “flawed” to “rotten” to you? It might be impossible to change your perspective if you brush aside every accusation as a minor flaw.

    we can’t run a candidate that admits a dark past and tries to make amends

    He doesn’t. He never said he regrets his war crimes, he talks about them reminiscingly, he only calls the wars “pointless”, he has no moral objection to the crimes, he just doesn’t think Americans benefitted enough from them.

    He doesn’t identify the war machine as bad, on the contrary he wants to thank and honor and support veterans. Y’all need to stop pretending that’s a progressive idea.

    You only think in “their side” and “my side” to the point where your side winning is the goal itself, regardless of whether your side effectively does anything to advance what you think of as principals.

    Take his stance on Gaza, where he seems eager to cash in on people’s outrage by positioning himself as opposition to genocide, but you won’t see him ever address the real problem. He’s there to change the conversation and allow the status quo to continue. On Ukraine he’s happy to say that Ukrainian fighting the Russian invasion is “resisting with all the means that they can, and I personally think that we should provide them with support.” He’s unwilling to make a statement about Palestinians resisting genocide as needing support, he’s only ever willing to denounce past acts in a vacuum. Like a typical liberal zionist.

    He’s being branded as progressive by literally the same people that brought you Fetterman, it’s all aesthetics and zero substance, and you still have your arms wide open.

    The Zionists and oligarchs are not afraid of a was criminal who went on 5 terror tours and loved his time killing brown people so much he got a Nazi tattoo to commemorate it, by his own gleeful unapologetic admission. His portrayal as progressive should insult you, not make you jump to defend him and accuse those accuse him of sexual assault of being liars so conveniently.
