What a bunch of hobos.

Suboptimal idea for a population among which, as of a couple of years ago, nearly 70% of the adults believed in angels.

Sorry, I meant Iranian, not Iraqi, iteration.

Ahmed Chalabi, like Baghdad Bob, what a blast from the past: "The George Washington of Iraq" for neocons.
I think the Pahlavi pretender is playing that role in the current Iraqi iteration of US FUBAR.

Thanks for the clip. Should be useful. Like some idiots.

Had Joe Wilson been listened to, a lot of misery might have been avoided.

Money for nothin' and your golf for free.

Good recommendation, Coriolanus, a film that deserves a wider audience.

Boy, did that image bring back some bad memories.

What do you expect in an ethnonationalist set-up where the claim to the places taken and lives destroyed is based on the "Word of God"?
Seriously?

"This is not back-of-the-envelope calculations. We've been working on this for many years."

The top heavy US military is good at some things, not so good at others.
Blowing up stuff and terrorizing people falls into the first category.
Actually winning wars belongs in the second.

Only the very bestest, TeeRUMP-branded glitter balls will be used in the creation of this hilarious monstrosity on Miami's Lower Ozymandius Avenue.

Just for the record:

The 1953 armistice remains in effect.

More recently, nothing but Trump posturing, getting played, and backing off clutching some "love letters" while searching of a new daddy - who appears to be the current prime minister of Israel.

Pickled Pete - with his cartoonish displays of downright idiocy, crusader rhetoric and comedic ink - is the answer to many an Iranian mullah's prayers. (Or at least part of the propellant assisting in fueling the arrival of thr Mahdi.)

Well, there are those yuge tax breaks for the folks with enough dough to buy their very own Republicans. These would be some of the folks to whom Obama spoke when he reportedly said, "I'm all that stands between you and the pitchforks."

But that is simply beyond consideration now - just not not enough to go around what with Trump and his greasy grifters sticking their snouts into the public feed bag, his wars to fund, etc. - so just jam up everyone else instead.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible," JFK observed, "will make violent revolution inevitable."

"It's as if he needs desperately to feel superior to those soldiers, to cast their strength as weakness, their courage as folly, lest his own cowardice be exposed."

Of a piece with the demented oaf latching onto medals and trophies he didn't win or earn.
He is, simply, human weakness incarnate.
Thanks, Republicans, duly noted

With you on that, AU. For me, both men represent the best of Catholicism's teachings. You rarely find their sort making it far enough through the impediments imposed by outfit's sclerotic bureaucracy to be noticed. At the parish level, yes.

Trump has made it clear he has two objectives by starting this war: (1) Lie back and do what Bibi tells him to do; and (2) steal Iranian oil.

By the way, you can rest easy, MAGAts: Not a single hair atop the head of any member of Trump's grubby clan will be tousled. But fair warning: all others, including you and your nearest and dearest, probably need to watch out unless you choose to join a martyr's outfit.

You voted for this, MAGAts.

Presumably Barron Trump, having enlisted to support daddy's war, will be on hand for purposes of test runs. Ka-blooey.

I'm not a Catholic, but Trump isn't fit to be in the same room with the current pope.
