Apparently the peace plan for Iran is filed with the Trumpian infrastructure bill and the greatest ever health plan.

Apparently, it’s infrastructure week in Hormuz.

Now do Trump, Hegseth, and down the chain of command. The pilots knew it was illegal. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

No shit!

An admission of guilt, slipped into his payoff of criminals that support him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The only way out of this tit for tat redistricting mess is to take it away from people.Software that sorts and groups municipalities into districts of the correct count and geographically compact would not be that difficult.I have no idea what the net political result would be, but that is the point

This deleted post is from a SC Senate candidate, trying to unseat Graham. It is possible to tell if he is a liar or a moron. Comments were overwhelmingly critical, but 10,000 people (morons) liked this stupidity. An IQ test should be required for voters.

If (when) the midterms go badly, expect a few November, December Supreme Court Court retirements.

Is anyone surprised at the depth of corruption in this administration? The Guardian headline: “US defense official overseeing AI reaped millions selling xAI stock after Pentagon entered agreement with company” apple.news/At1WePzPqSPS... This material may be protected by c

An F-15E costs about $100,000,000 to replace. How many meals is that? How many people will that insure?

Hegseth’s head must be exploding. Artemis’ crew has an African American and a woman. That fucker will probably try to shoot it down.

Rubio will use the US government and military to get what he wants in Cuba, the same way Netanyahu is using the US to get what he wants. We have become global mercenaries.

Make America Great Again. Sure. Restore the top progressive tax rate to 70%, close off the ridiculous loop holes the way they were when this country surged forward and built the infrastructure we can’t repair. Restore a sensible inheritance tax, the way it was when we despised oligarchs.

I think Cuba is going to bear the brunt of the impotent moron in the White House’s rage. He’ll try to save face after his Middle East debacle and his destruction of the economy. It won’t work, except with the slavish maga morons.

With ICE at the airports, passenger count will plummet. Should we start a death pool for which airline goes under first?

How would you like it if your son or daughter were killed for no concrete reason, and the moron that sent them there, to deflect from his crimes, said “that’s just the way it is”?

More Americans die in a republican war of adventure.

The British and the US have been abusing Iran for over a century, and then we wonder why they’re belligerent.

So, we started an illegal war to get rid of a regime that we essentially installed, and we encourage citizens to to rise up with no material assistance, no organization, and no leadership. There is no one to replace the current government. Iraq all over again.

The budget for ICE is $75b. That does not include other budgets for the persecution of immigrants and protesters. ICE’s budget is higher than all but 7 countries, globally. Higher than France or Ukraine. Despicable and unconscionable.

ICE isn’t running wild. They are following orders to the letter. It’s not Bovino or Homan. It’s not even Noem. This is from the top. This is from the racist, incompetent criminal our country was betrayed to. Betrayed by the very worst among us. The US has had a white trash problem from the start.

I really should read more carefully before I hit that button.

Bovino is gone, perhaps Noem and her filthy sidekick Corey Lewandowski. This is the first I’ve heard of the despicable, violent opportunistic animal Lewandowski‘s involvement. I hope that scum doesn’t come backstory NH.

It was an execution.

He belongs in a padded room. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Iranian security forces killed thousands of their fellow citizens at the bidding of a dictator. They can‘t stop, or they will face the justified wrath of their fellow citizens. The same for ICE. If they stop, they will either be prosecuted or face mob justice. This will not end well.

In case you were wondering about the illegal orders Kelly, Goodlander, and others were warning about. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Iran’s theocracy is staying in power only due to an entrenched, privileged, and extensive security apparatus. These people know exactly what will happen to them if the regime loses power. Trump is building the exact same type of loyal, privileged security forces. That is what ICE is.

The Trump cabal gained power with the complicity of the maga voter. Most of them aren’t necessarily bad people, just not very smart and easily manipulated. We will lose our democracy because of the violent thugs that support the cabal and suppress decent Americans. Just like Putin.

As we watch our democracy slowly slip away into authoritarianism, while many of our fellow citizens cheer it on and say “I voted for this”, it is easier to understand how Hitler came to power and Putin holds on to power.

Why is everyone surprised that the party of violent insurrections is the party that sends brutal stormtroopers to terrorize our streets and cities? Your maga relatives and neighbors did this. Never compromise, never forgive. Maybe the smarter ones will wake the fuck up.

NATO members should station a force in Greenland made up of member nations as a trip wire. Maybe then the vile fascist filth that are country was betrayed to will catch on. Betrayed by the very worst among us.

While its intellectually interesting to watch an empire destroy itself in real time, it’s not as enjoyable when it’s where you live. When a society allows the bottom layer to become less educated, more gullible, and malleable, and then lets them vote, that society destroys itself.

First it was law enforcement for ethnic cleansing. Now we are using the navy for piracy. What’s next?

Remember the good old days, when lobbyists wined and dined Congress, gave their kids jobs, and flew them to vacations? Now, you can buy or rent a president or a Supreme Court justice and get what you want.
