How do you convince a congregation full of Jesus lovers that they should fully get behind yet another irresponsible war of choice...?

Everything Trump Touches Dies Goes Global When I tell you that everything Trump touches dies, some of you still try to find exceptions.

Trump has blundered us into a war that will carry blood & tragedy across the Middle East and the world not for a day, not for a month, not even for a year, but for decades.

The only path that might have changed this outcome is the one Trump would hate most.

I know, right? it sounds exactly like something a ten-year-old boy would doodle on the cover of his notebook while he’s supposed to by paying attention in class. but it’s more than just a stupid name. it’s sort of a Sargent Fuckface’s Lonely Fascists Club Band.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or β€œfederalize” the coming Congressional elections.

The Age ofΒ Doubt It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of scientific advancement; it was the age of flat-earthers and chemtrail fanatics. It was the age of medical discoveries; it was the age of anti-vaxxers and homeopaths. It was the age of information; it was the age of Qanon conspiracies and creationists. It was the age of liberal democracies; it was the age of rising fascism.

β€˜While women in Iran still have to deal with patriarchal laws under a theocratic government that human rights groups have criticized, Iran isn’t such a backwater that it’s preferable for women and young girls to be dead. Women in the country have high rates of education, making up the majority of university graduates. Burgas are mostly worn in Afghanistan and are not even common in Iran, although conservative religious β€˜women in the country sometimes opt for the chador, a loose garment that leaves the face and hands open.

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
