Here's and educated guess about the source of the Buffoon's "irrefutable" argument in favor of his current piece of stupid. electionlawblog.org

Unseen shadows. On a microfiche copy.

Bottom line:

If this is what President Trump's lawyers are going to hang their hats on, they are going to be the laughing stock among lawyers.
So, nothing's changed.

Testing on himself seems a bit nutty, but:

10 Scientists Who Experimented on Themselves

So not unheard of.

Self-experimentation in medicine (wikipedia) gives other examples, including the guy who figured out that the cause of stomach ulcers was bacteria, and not stress by drinking a vial of bacteria ("His only option was self-experimentation: ethical measures forbade him from administering H. pylori to any other person. In 2005, Marshall and his long-time collaborator Robin Warren were awarded Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, "for their discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease".)

Both newspapers have disingenuously cited humanitarian reasons to save lives as the reason for attacking Iran.

For example, the first WaPo editorial (1/2/26) approvingly quoted Dummkopf Trumpf's Truth Social promise (1/2/26) to Iranian protesters that the US "will come to their rescue ... . We are locked and loaded and ready to go."

The second WaPo editorial (1/23/26) expressed disappointment that, despite "mass killings" and the "most repressive crackdown in decades," "Trumpf has ratcheted back his earlier rhetoric." It emphasized that "the regime is now mocking Trumpf for backing down."

A NYT editorial board headline (1/14/26) declared: "Iran's Murderous Regime Is Irredeemable" and "the Khamenei regime is too depraved to be reformed," the editors wrote.


~snip~

This is laughable and the ridiculous arguments from WaPO and the NYT are hypocritical and fall flat on its face on logic. The murderous Israeli crackdown on Muslims in Gaza killed 72,061 human beings, mostly women and children; a further 171,715 have been wounded or maimed. These numbers are far, far greater than the number of Iranian casualties caused by the Tehran regime. No one has indicted the Iranian crackdown a genocide like Israel's pogrom against the Palestinians, which has been rightfully condemned by academics, the UN, and the ICC.

And the disgusting ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his ethnic cleansing Likud junta are redeemable?

Moreover, if the argument for attacking Iran is because Dummkopf Trumpf snivels that he "cares" about the Iranian people living under brutal theocratic rule, why is he deporting vulnerable Iranian nationals wholesale back to a religious police state, something which WaPO and the NYT are overlooking? link: Dummkopf Trumpf Hypocrisy Exposed Yet Again

Do you recall decades ago the Islamophobic call to arms by WaPo and the NYT to attack Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 to track down WMDs? How did that work out for the American people and all the death, casualties, destruction, PTSD, and trillions of dollars wasted in those "Forever Wars," idiotically called a "crusade" by a born-again Christian POTUS?

The USS Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier Group (ACG) will soon be meeting up with USS Abraham Lincoln ACG in the Middle East. Millions of Americans In the vast antiwar bloc, a movement as old as the American Revolution itself, are monitoring events closely in the Middle East.

Any US politician who receives money from AIPAC or who supports attacking Iran will not get the votes of the multi-million strong pacifist bloc on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, 2 Nov 2027, or 7 Nov 2028. If any political party in the US thinks their candidate can win without their crucial support on these election days, good for them.

Two bloodthirsty warmongers that should be in handcuffs and leg-irons.


All the Democrats looked horrible accept Gavin (why were they even there? Presidential hopefuls?) Embarrassing really, some Democrats even claiming Munich is the first primary.... idiots.

Rubio's speech was excellent standing ovation from Eurotrash.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are poised to deliver clashing visions of U.S. global leadership at the Munich Security Conference as European leaders recoil at America's populist politics.

Democrats are in big trouble if these are their leading candidates.
