On the bright side it will keep Lawyers and Law students in work for a couple decades after this debacle is over, if in fact it ends. Shoulda went into Law, but my mother would not let me. She said they were like a burlap bag filled of cobra's.

Authoritarian Chic: DOJ Debuts Massive Trump Banner A little lite Stalin-ification... what could possibly go wrong?!? There was a time when the Department of Justice operated in isolation from political whims. That era appears to be officially over. Welcome to: The Rule of Law, sponsored by Donald Trump!

The people who tend to do the most complaining in life tend to do the least in life.

Indeed. One of the biggest mysteries in politics to be sure. Moise Ostrogorski was a Belorussian political sociologist. In 1902, he published the classic Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties, after studying US and British parties. The book is quite pessimistic on mass political parties and their tendency to devolve into corrupt, top-heavy bureaucracies — a theme developed further by the Italian Robert Michels in his 1915 book Political Parties, which is remembered for its “iron law of oligarchy.” (The “iron law” is that all organizations, including political parties, eventually become oligarchic). Same thing here in North America now.

Makes me wonder how much screen cleaner these folks here use in a month. Seems to me if your continually frothing, spitting & seething all the time you would need an econo jug of windex and a couple bales of cloths. Shrug. But hey, what do I know... Maybe they are all mired in Victimhood, Entitlement & Grievance and can't get out of it? Dunno, just spitballin.

Does not keep me awake at night. Y'all ones are the ones with problems with Life the Universe and Everything. 🤣

Pipe down Kids, I'm trying to watch your needless war unfold into disaster.

Shhhh. Drink your Koolaid little boy. Adults are talking.

Kind of sounds like a "wellness" Check.

No surpises here.

It would be great, Except nobody has been freed from anybody. Trump is already negotiating the the new leader of the regime. Same thing as Venezuela. Just trumpy bullshit as usual. Actually he was talking about Rand Paul.

Without a doubt.

No worries. Jebus will save everyone.

A grade Ten Civics student knows you cannot bomb Ideology to effect change. Shrug.

What a bizarre world when MTG is making intelligent sense. Lol.

We are fine thanks. We are not the ones fighting with everyone.

No worries, Kash Patel and Kristi Noem are on the case. That should help America sleep better. 🤣 All hail the American Taliban.

The only threat to Canada is America. Full stop.

Problem is that Trump does not think anything through. All his ideas and policies eventually turn out badly. We saw that in the first Trump Administration and it's happening daily now. The man has far less guardrails than the last Administration. And it shows. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, and he has the most unqualified bunch of monkeys surrounding him for this reason. Of course people want a change in the Iranian Regime. However to sit here and say Trump is concerned about free elections and freedom for the Iranians is a laugh. Trump does not even care about American freedom or elections, or free press or anything else. Like everything he does this will end poorly for everyone around him.

Maybe this time Iran rises. One can hope. But right now, this is just the very, very beginning, would felt better if America actually had somebody that understood wars, not the Mr. Bone Spurs who ran and hid while his daddy kept him out of Service. Just saying.

American Failed Regime Changes The United States has attempted to reshape foreign governments through various means, including military interventions and covert operations. These efforts have often resulted in tactical success but strategic failure, leading to long-term instability and the installation of governments lacking legitimacy. The U.S. has been involved in numerous regime changes, including coups in Iran, Guatemala, South Vietnam, and Libya, among others. These interventions have created power vacuums, civil conflicts, and cycles of authoritarianism that can persist for decades. The U.S. has faced criticism for its involvement in these regimes, often leading to unintended consequences and undermining U.S. interests.

American Regime change 0 for 3 Maybe this time...

One of the biggest issues it that there is no end game.

And there will be a new one in no time. Shrug.
