Trump's Second Term

[Darat]

So more like China or USSR or other 'single party' states. Is China a dictatorship (is a dictatorship the only alternative to democracy?). Technically just as e.g. Brehnez or Khrushchev were subject to the supreme soviet so the supreme leader of Iran is subject to the council of experts.

...snip...

Yes China is a dictatorship.

And yet your moderate right is busy sucking up to Donald Trump.

Which lost them the election and their leader his own electorate.

The parties of the centre have driven the overton window way to the right over the last thirty years, simply by chasing after the lunacies of the right and aping their language and actions.

Back in the eighties it would have been sheer lunacy for Labouf politicians to come out in favour of the racism based immigration policies they are loudly cheerleading today, and they most definitely wouldn't be the pro-capitalism shills self-described centre parties are now.

Shifting the goalposts?
The point was,

Every single time there's a choice between the far right and the moderate left, centrists have facilitated the advance of the far right.

Every. Single. Time. Every. Single. Country.

And the result of the last Australian federal election refutes that blanket assertion.

I wonder if the narcissistic man baby still thinks he will get a Nobel Peace Prize?

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Once he invades Norway he will get it for sure

Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

And it'll turn out that Obama's was awarded by an autopen.

Since they didn't give him it he has no reason not to start a few wars, sorry special military operations.... So this is entirely Norway's fault.

 

[kookbreaker]

I can think of a regime with a 79 year old man that has no plans for succession. (or a dozen conflicting ones)

True, but not everyone is as dumb and self-centered as Trump.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

It'd set off a US rampage as the Noble committee kept fleeing and Dump kept having to invade new places to try to get at them. 'I'm sorry Drumpfio, the Nobel prize committee is in another capital city!'

Benefits of a live show: SNL did Hegseth:

SNL Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost): "We took out a horrendous, horrible leader who was oppressing his own people." Trump: "But don't get any ideas."

Never been seen before? Have they finally developed the Q-Bomb?

I wonder if Iran will run out of the kind of cheap drones they've been selling in great numbers to Russia before the US and Israel tire of shooting them down with expensive interceptors.

 

[Shrinker]

That wasn't his exact wording...

"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

 

[Garrison]

I see you forget the UK strongly suppoted the US action.

And that would make a difference because...?

Trump: A friend of mine. Very smart. Very heavy guy. I am trying to be nice. Never use the word fat. Very heavy. Slightly obese. But he takes the fat drug and it did not work. But he is a very brilliant guy. He is highly neurotic, very brilliant, very smart, rich.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?

GRAHAM: No. It's not his job

She should have responded with "not even a teensy-weeny idea of a concept of a plan?"

God bless President Trump and Admiral Cooper for executing one of the most consequential military operations in modern history.

When the moment demanded strength, President @realDonaldTrump delivered.

BRENNAN: Do you believe the American public is owed something more than a twitter video?

TOM COTTON: I think an 8 minute address to the American people, whether the president posts it on social media or it happens on your network, is in keeping with presidential custom of addressing the American people

There have been reports from other than Al Jazerra, which is absolutely unreliable when reporting on Israeli military action.

A failed missile launch in Iran caused the projectile to fall on a school. Images captured the moment it failed, fell back to ground, and struck. The Iranians - just like the Palestinians in Gaza at the beginning of the war - immediately claimed it was a missile fired by the Show more

This photo was geolocated to be 800 miles from the school site. So, as usual, social media speculation can be assumed to be false until proven true,
