"No one, anywhere, has ever managed to inflict anything even close to the kind of profound damage Trump and his Republican enablers have wrought upon this nation and its institutions

And the sooner Americans realize that Israel was the model the better position they'll be to deal with it.

The MAGA ideology is nothing more than chauvinist Zionism for white Christian Americans.

I like the idea of the reflecting pool, however it's just a gigantic gray concrete slab with some stagnant water on top. As a result, it is lifeless and superficial. I prefer the Frederick Law Olmsted solution. Create a beautiful garden with a large pool of water in the middle.

If you include Israel in on all this, you'll have many more listeners and believers. No foreign country influences American elections more than Israel.

Israel, Russia and China should be America's top adversaries, in that order.

There will always be folks like 0neironaut who use back-door rhetorical tactics in order to downplay the telltale observable behaviors of nascent fascism.

This is done in order to confuse or delay action by the opposition so that extra time is alloted for producing additional propaganda that seeks to normalize obvious fascistic behaviors.

Oneironaut is the DR's own Black Knight. Constantly getting his arms and legs lopped off in arguments only to call it a "draw"

When viewed from space, the ever-growing mound of severed limbs might be described as one gigantic LUMP.

So: spend hundreds of billions and cause billions in losses to the US economy in order to bomb brown people overseas before they get a chance to immigrate and subsequently add billions of dollars to the US economy.

Got it.

Nazis are so ------- dumb.

My guess is it's the same person who vandalized the reflecting pool.

No worries. The Shi'a will be doing their own investigation for the next several generations.

That definition is all Poe. From "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" I think. Ichor is to be taken as a stinking liquid substance that oozes from the recently deceased.

I spent a few years living in Baltimore in my early 20's and I became quite enamored of everything Poe (who died and is buried in Baltimore) wrote. He was an absolute boss. His unmatched style and total command of language makes him the greatest American writer of the 19th century, and perhaps, all-time, IMo.

"Since 1979, we've seen the same scenes on TV. revolution, oppressive regimes"

I was born in 1991 and lived overseas for nearly half of the first 18 years of my life so that may be why I never really bought into the American dominated narrative and decided to look for a more objective viewpoint on my own.

When the torches and pitchforks finally arrive, he needs to be able to get the ---- out of Dodge, stat.

"What makes you think they fully understand it?"

Because they are Shi'a. I'd recommend reading a little about the history of the Shi'a and then get back to me.

Just dig in their heals and that's all they'll need to do?

I think the Iranian people fully understand the gravity of their struggle.
They know that it took enslaved Africans dozens upon dozens of generations and hundreds of years of continuous abuse, rape and murder by white christian slaveholders in order to achieve freedom, and they seemed fully prepared for their own protracted struggle against the current white Christian supremacists that are now trying to turn back the clock to do the same .

When the federal government contains nothing but a bunch of dribbling ----- with ichorous intellects, expect plenty of leaks.

"It's incredible how much of the 36% is represented right here on the Drudge Retort."

Almost as incredible is how a country of just 9 million people can completely control another country of 300 million.

Pete Hegseth has two supernumerary ------- located in the place his balls should be.

You all know the famous proverb:

Fool me once, shame on you;
Fool me twice, shame on me;
Fool me several thousand times, there is no shame- I'm just an invertebrate myrmidon for the MAGA fascist death cult.

Each day, at the break of dawn, Satan awakens, takes a simple breakfast of sugared fetuses w/ milk, rapes his favorite 3 year old sex slave, mangles a few dozen puppies on a lark, and laments that he'll never be as evil as Donald J. Trump.

Spending multiple billions of future debt to try to own the Libs (and now the Iranians).

MAGA ideology in a nutshell:

1. Purchase an old, run-down house (house #1)
2. Make progressive "renovations" on house #1 that make the house look -------- and -------- (make sure neighbors get upset and decide to move)
3. Buy the 2 houses on either side of the 1st house (Worsening condition of house #1 will help lower the prices of houses #2 and #3).
4. Burn down houses #2 and #3 and leave the gaping, charred foundations behind. Let the yard become overgrown and infested with weeds. (A black F150 w/ Trump stickers up on blocks in the front yard is a plus)
5. Viola! Comparatively, house #1 now looks great!

It's pretty hard to fall when you are already confined to a wheelchair.

"stun grenades designed to cause temporary blindness, sonic weapons that resonate so loudly they are known in the armed forces as the 'voice of God"

These items are not stocked to keep Sum Ting Wong from executing a bunch of his fellow students after breaking down upon hearing he received a C+ on his midterm. These items are stocked to use against young intelligent people from actively protesting genocide and the fascist Zionist state currently committing it.

"Today:
Senate majority -2
Repubs 49
Dems 47
Requires 50 votes to pass a bill."

Isn't Joash Fetterman (R- Purgatory) taking Lispy Graham's place in that regard?

His last words?
"Mitch McConnell still survives."

On several levels this is probably the most humorous statement I've seen here in quite a while. Bravo, sir.

It can be modestly gratifying when garbage unintentionally decides to dispose of itself.
