Well, she basically mentioned that they are on a path to take over and push aside democratically elected officials that are not on their side: i.e. "socialists".




"Most of us believe that if we obey the law, we're otherwise free to live our lives the way we see fit.

But the pres' MIL incursion into LA & the st of CA should reveal something impt about RW politics. There's no such thing. You can't be allowed to live your life the way you see fit if you're not among the chosen. You're the problem in such a case. Your actions are beside the point. Your crime is your existence. You’re already a criminal &🚨you'll have no peace🕊️."

Can you tell this politician receives no money from AIPAC?

A lot of Americans do not understand how stupid all this anti-Iran sabre-rattling is. The USA must not invade Iran, regardless of what bribes our politicians get.

Remember Iraq? America was very successful at invading Iraq, but utterly failed when it came to the occupation. A lot of Americans forget that. We spent many years and massive amounts of debt on a failed enterprise.

Experts say you need one soldier for every 50…

Iran has a bigger GDP, a bigger military, everything about invading Iran would be orders of magnitude more difficult than invading Iraq, and the resulting occupation would similarly be far more disastrous.

Anyone seriously entertaining a war with Iran is either delusional, or out to deliberately ruin the USA.

We have now reached the point where Dems are attacking Trump FROM THE RIGHT on the issue of Iran. They think he isn't aggressive ENOUGH.

The idea of the USA invading and occupying Iran is every bit as insane as the Russian federation invading and occupying Poland.

I used to assume that the sabre-rattling was just empty threats to influence the international stage, but now that Trump is back in the White House, we cannot take for granted that sanity will prevail, not even among Dems.

Any politician pushing for hostility with Iran should be treated with hostility by voters. Invading Iran would be a massive disaster.

The US taxpayer is going to be on the hook for all the soldiers, tanks, and planes that appear in Donald Trump’s military parade.
But several major tech companies are paying for the festivities along the parade route.
According to recent statements from America250, #Oracle, #Amazon, #Coinbase, #Lockheed Martin, and #Palantir are some of the highest-profile sponsors to the #America250 Foundation,
the congressionally appointed nonprofit in charge of raising funds to celebrate the upcoming US Semiquincentennial.
Although the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will take place next year — July 4th, 2026 — America250,
which is co-chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios and Trump’s former co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita,
is handling spectator logistics,
as well as a festival, for the controversial military parade taking place this Saturday

Thanks to @johnbrowntypebeats for reminding me of this gem.

Which reminds me of a good saying:

It's probably a good sign if you get asked by your players if you have a mood playlist for your #ttrpg setting to share. Guess I might as well make a polished one for public enjoyment.

#hacking an old mouse into a #trackball because why not. Already removed the wheel and switches. Will replace them with keyboard switches and mount them off to the side somewhere. Need to figure out a home for the scroll wheel too. Might try and convert it into a horizontal dial instead. Also hacked off the usb port and replaced it with female usb-c. #trackballs

looks like that trackball is semi-transparent - does the tracking work well on it?
in reply to grimmware

@grimmware I'm really surprised, it works very well - must be due to all the "cracks" or something?
