I love this website when Bad Things Happen to Bad People

You could say that, or you could say it’s been a decades long Republican Party priority to carpet bomb Iran

Trump Admin's Plans for $500 Million USIP Building May Violate Court Order, Say Former Workers The State Department is poised to take over a building DOGE seized from the US Institute of Peace, former staffers claim—possibly for Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

Today, Trump hosted the first meeting of the so-called Board of Peace at the building that served as the headquarters for the US Institute for Peace. But that building is still the subject of a major court case after being forcibly taken over by DOGE last year.

YOON SUK-YEOL: GUILTY

(still waiting on sentence)

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Same energy.

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.
