The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

So many anonymous coffee boys to use as scapegoats.

With the orange thug as their role model, expect nothing less from his followers. After all, there's no consequences.

These were posted within minutes of each other. So which one is it? Is it over or is there no end in sight?? Our msm is a clusterfuck. Guess I’ll check the news in another country to find out what is happening here.

Lower Decks is great. Good mix of comedy and classic Trek prime directive dogma.

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

Same guy who wanted to throw down with the Teamsters head in the middle of a session. This will be far worse than ICE barbie.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Same lack of empathy for them as shooting her own dog. Deplorable.

Now that the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs unlawful, how are you planning to spend your government refund?

Personally, I'm running kinda low on Corn Nuts & sugarless peanut butter cups. 😋

GOP is not interested in presenting the truth. We must stay on offense to see justice.
