Am I just as bad as Hillary? 16 hours ago, Rob's House said: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/the-us-isnt-as-important-as-the-left-thinks/604642/ "The United States has done terrible things in the Middle East. To even casual observers of the region, this should be clear enough. That, however, doesn’t mean there is a moral equivalence between Iran and the United States. Elevating America as a somehow unique source of evil takes necessary self-criticism and turns it into narcissism. It insists on making us the exceptional ones, glorifying ourselves by glorifying our sins. To suggest that American officials are at the rarefied level of the deliberate, systematic mass murder and sectarian cleansing that Soleimani helped orchestrate isn’t just wrong; it’s silly." Totally agree. But let's keep it that way. Trump's wrecking ball directed at the free press, his contempt for our Constitution, his abuse of power and constant lies are a threat to our Constitutional order. We have a republic, if we can keep it.

B-Man Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 LET’S HOPE: Iran plane crash: Why this could be a watershed moment. On the international front, the downing of flight PS752 is unlikely to result in further escalation and might even provide an opportunity for defusing some of the tensions which have been simmering over the past few months. On the domestic front, however, this tragic accident could have much deeper repercussions. Just days before the flight crashed, Iran displayed an unprecedented level of unity and popular support when millions of people poured on to the streets all over the country to mourn the death of Soleimani. This seemed to indicate that, when faced with the external threat of military confrontation, Iranians from different political and economic backgrounds could come together and put aside their divisions. But all the very smartest people assured me that the Suleimani strike would result in a wave of anti-American nationalism.

The protesters all hated Soleimani because he was part of the regime, and a butcher of his own people. The "outpouring" was forced and now they're getting back to protesting, with an added outcry of shame over the downing of the plane.
B-Man Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 These Iranian women are the real warriors, not a bunch of angry broads in pink ***** hats screeching about abortion and whining because Hillary lost. Women’s March, take note, this is how it’s done. 7 2

Given recent events, maybe they should convert it to a cruise liner. "Iran is repairing its imitation aircraft carrier, likely preparing it for a new round of exercises during which it will probably get blown up. The “carrier,” a mockup built up from a floating barge, was first built in the early 2010s and then used for target practice. The barge is being rebuilt, presumably for more punishment, in an exercise with decidedly more sinister undertones than the first time around." Islamic Nimitz Well, I hope any movies made about attacking the fake aircraft carrier have a higher production value than their video of the attack on the fake White house.
