Flynn is "one of the most dangerous individuals in America today," said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian and expert on authoritarianism and fascism who wrote the book "Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present."

"He is spearheading the attack on our democracy, which is coming from many quarters, and he is affiliated with many of these sectors, from the military to Christian nationalism to election denial to extremist groups," she said.

"All of this comes together to present a very live threat. And he's at the center."

"Flynn hitched his financial fortunes to QAnon at least as early as the summer of 2019, when he was facing a mountain of legal costs, The Intercept's investigation found.

His push to leverage QAnon's viral popularity with the far-right coincided with his efforts to reverse his guilty plea for lying to the FBI in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

The money-making virtual empire that Flynn, his lawyer Sidney Powell, and other Trump loyalists have built on the back of the QAnon phenomenon has long been hiding in plain sight.

But in the wake of the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, disinformation researchers began digging into the tangle of financial, legal, and business relationships that have fueled the growth of a far-right conspiracy theory the government classified as a serious threat."

Or, if you cannot respond, NerfHerder, then perhaps ...

You support candidates (Republicans, of course) who protect men (who else?) who put their dicks inside children. #GOP2026.

The Historic Deal that Will Prevent The Historic Deal that Will Prevent Iran from Acquiring a Nuclear Weapon
How the U.S. and the international community will block all of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon
obamawhitehouse.archives.gov

...
On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that Iran has completed the necessary steps under the Iran deal that will ensure Iran's nuclear program is and remains exclusively peaceful.

Before this agreement, Iran's breakout time -- or the time it would have taken for Iran to gather enough fissile material to build a weapon -- was only two to three months. Today, because of the Iran deal, it would take Iran 12 months or more. And with the unprecedented monitoring and access this deal puts in place, if Iran tries, we will know and sanctions will snap back into place.

Here's how we got to this point. Since October, Iran has:

- - - Shipped 25,000 pounds of enriched uranium out of the country

- - - Dismantled and removed two-thirds of its centrifuges

- - - Removed the calandria from its heavy water reactor and filled it with concrete

- - - Provided unprecedented access to its nuclear facilities and supply chain

Because Iran has completed these steps, the U.S. and international community can begin the next phase under the JCPOA, which means the U.S. will begin lifting its nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. However, a number of U.S. sanctions authorities and designations will continue to remain in place. ...

... "We've got to finish the job, right?"

When U.S. President Donald Trump made that remark at a rally in Kentucky back in March, the Iran war had barely begun. And with huge firepower at his command, he exuded confidence that the endgame would be a mere formality. The war, he told the crowd of supporters, had already been "won."

Yet 2 1/2 months on, Mr. Trump's definition of "finishing the job" has fundamentally changed. ...


#1 Oh, do tell us, C0RI0LANUS... just what is your problem with Senator Richard Blumenthal that you included this image in this your #1 post?

Senator Richard Blumenthal is Jewish. He and his wife are members of the Greenwich Reform Synagogue in Connecticut, and his family background includes a father who immigrated from Germany to escape Nazi persecution.
Never mind.

" In a Truth Social post on Friday morning, Trump laid out the main elements in the deal that he wants to emphasize and seemingly suggested he was about to accept it.

He stressed Iran must agree that "they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb."

He claimed the Hormuz Strait must be immediately open without tolls, for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions." He noted Iran will complete "the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left" in the strait.

"Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of "heading home," Trump wrote."

"Between the lines: The MOU states that Iran will agree to negotiate on its nuclear program, but does not include specific concessions.

Fars claimed Trump is trying to "project a fabricated victory" and is "distorting" the MOU's text. The sources Fars quoted claimed that after the U.S. blockade is lifted, Iran will reopen the strait "according to arrangements it determines itself" and that could include "monitoring and inspection of ships, the provision of services, and security measures."

Fars also claimed Iran would receive "immediate payment of $12 billion" in frozen assets" and that no further negotiations would take place until the money was paid.

U.S. officials claim Iran would only receive frozen funds as part of a final nuclear deal.

Fars also said the MOU includes a ceasefire in Lebanon "in accordance with Hezbollah's position." U.S. officials said the deal would include a ceasefire in Lebanon."

What DJT really needs is time to figure out how to spin this strategic loss.
