More Completely Unpredictable Reactions from Our Seditious Ex-American Democrats and Marxist Media

But, as always, I do repeat myself.

First up, Trump says we took this action to stop a war already in progress on Iran's side, not to start a war.



But of course the Democrats and Enemy of the People Media, who have been talking so very Charles-Bronson-tough in the past couple of years as a way to attack Trump's general aversion to military action, are suddenly -- but very predictably -- turning white-feathered tail and reverting to their Principled Pacifist playbook.









CNN gonna CNN:







Is it just me or does anyone else think Donny Two-Scoops deserved his second scoop after the strike? Heck, give the man a third scoop!


Happy Friday!

I'll do that GAINZZZ post on Monday so that I don't stress anyone for the weekend.

13 Dear Penthouse Forum,

I met "Suleimani, a flamboyant former construction worker and bodybuilder with snowy white hair, a dapper beard, and arching salt-and-pepper eyebrows..." while waitressing at the Tehran Hilton one steamy night last July. He was intrigued by the fact I'm an amputee yet I was able to balance all the dinner plates with one arm, serving his table flawlessly. He flirted with me, asking what else I was good at. Captivated by his steely demeanor, I invited him up to my room for a nightcap...

60 Back to Tuna...

I've done tuna with tartar sauce, and I liked it.
But I make my own tartar sauce with chopped capers, good mayo, and a squeeze of lemon.
Someone earlier today said tartar is mayo and pickle relish, but that's a bit sweet for me for tartar sauce.
However, my favorite tuna salad is mayo, pickle (relish or chopped, including dill), and onion.
(minced onion is good in tartar too)

I've done tuna with tartar sauce, and I liked it.
But I make my own tartar sauce with chopped capers, good mayo, and a squeeze of lemon.
Someone earlier today said tartar is mayo and pickle relish, but that's a bit sweet for me for tartar sauce.
However, my favorite tuna salad is mayo, pickle (relish or chopped, including dill), and onion.
(minced onion is good in tartar too)

It's outright anti-Americanism.

Everything the press and the Democrat party do is anti-American.

They want an entirely different country than the rest of us do.

We're pretty content with this one we've got. Especially if the malcontents would knock it off and enjoy things.

No what the left wants is to destroy American and what it stands for and what makes it great and free.

Take a look at every thing they do. In one way or another their intent is to disrupt what works as best as possible and substitute that which is broken and spreads disease or poverty.

They have only praise for those who are trying to kill us or our allies. They reject all sorts of levels of common decency and self respect substituting confusion and anarchy.

In every place they've infested for longer than a few terms of the leading head of the government are poverty stricken, dens of squalor and filth, chaotic, expensive and yet everyone is just scrapping by due to the taxes and fees to live in their hell holes.

It really is time for the Party of Rationality and Decency needs to recognize that the Democrats are not some group we're having a disagreement with. These people are our sworn enemies and they will try to destroy us and what we hold dear so that they can have their chaos and squalor.

Can we please stop bitching about this? In *IRAN* he _is_ a revered
figure and a war hero. It's a perfectly factual thing to say. Complain
if they don't say _anything else_ about him from our perspective. But
stating those facts is NOT - in and of itself - a cowardly sellout to
Iran or anything else dastardly.

He is a revered figure in parts of Iran, a reviled one in others. The Quds force that he commanded was responsible for at least 1500 deaths in Iran in the most recent protests.

He is most definitely not universally revered.

As of 2004, the press decided that it had to be "neutral" in discussing world events, particularly Muslim peoples, or it might encourage more warfar.

Remember that dirtbag who refused to report on the atrocities in Iraq under Hussein for CNN, because they'd lose their access and might encourage war?

They're all like that now. And making matters much, much worse, in the name of "balance" they brought a ton of stringers from over there into their news rooms to be consultants and write stories about the region. So you get Achmed Bin Muhammad al'Muhammed doing the reporting on scumbags like this.

285 Obozo, Hillzebub, and Quid Pro Joe (OK, I don't actually know that Joe was involved but he's had his lips surgically attacked to Obozo's ass so I didn't want to hurt his feelings by leaving him out) abandoned an ambassador and three others to be tortured to death, lied about, then shipped pallets of cash to terrorists.

The media: Wow! What genius! What courage! What leadership!

Trump saves the ambassador and others, promises retribution, and kills the masterminds.

It is one thing to be inside of the OODA loop; it is another thing to pull the trigger and let so many unaffected *know* that *you* are inside of *their* OODA loop. That is, killing Yamamoto was a big risk, tipping off the Japanese that we had broken their codes, but it was seen as worth it. And the USA did scatter a lot of "dust" to conceal their traces.


Now, how many of his associates and contacts are wondering about how long the USA has been tracing them? He was a big dog, and these small dogs?

The President is the head of the EXECUTIVE branch (pun totally intended) and commands our military forces. If Congress doesn't like what the President is doing, they can still cut funding to the military. It's not the President's fault that move would be extremely unpopular, it's just how our government works. Besides, Obama did 30-day "military actions" and got extensions for those wars-er, "actions" and these same Congress members didn't protest at all.

So again: Where in our system is there a requirement that the President has to get Congress' approval to take out a terrorist?

There are rules about contacting the heads of the intelligence committees before performing certain actions, such as assassinating high profile targets.

I remember seeing the beginning of a so-called "cult" movie, made in 1967. The full title is "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade".

I thought "maybe that is one of those weird things from the 60's that might be interesting."

No.

Every line in the film that I saw (I only lasted 9 minutes before I had to shut it off) is performed by a lunatic standing in an insane asylum, screaming. Seriously.

If I was chained by the ankle in front of a screen showing that, I would gnaw my own foot off to get away.

452 There are rules about contacting the heads of the intelligence committees before performing certain actions, such as assassinating high profile targets. Note that the president doesn't need to ask them for permission. It's purely a bit of courtesy toward politicians who are probably going to be fielding questions about what they knew beforehand.

Of course, if the opposition party has made it clear that they hate your guts, and would likely be willing to tip off said target if it would embarrass you...

461 "And, here's the quote that was arguably taken out of context from The Federalist article:
"The Washington Post issued an alert last night, labeling the Iranian
commander to be "Iran's most revered military leader," a far,
ahistorical cry from the facts, which indicate that much of Iran is
hugely upset with the regime's expansionist and violent aims."
Which two statements are really contradictions of each other - IN A FRIGGIN' TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY.(I'm guessing the dude IS pretty "revered" among the fanatic a*holes that form the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The peons being upset at the entire regime doesn't really counter that.)

That's probably true, particularly since Iran has been at war with the US for over 40 years now. But the general gist is the same. It was a targeted strike primarily using intelligence assets against someone that we're not in an active shooting war with.

We're witnessing the death of the Iran regime and their death throes toward the US. I've been following Iran's involvement in Iraq closely for over a year because I have a significant financial investment there. Iraq is on the cusp of enacting their monetary reforms, which will add
value to their currency and allow their markets to open up
internationally. It will also provide the HCL law, which pays all Iraqi citizens an oil revenue stipend like Kuwaitis receive. The reforms have been hampered by the Iranian puppets in the Iraqi leadership and parliament, which has perpetuated the ongoing 30% unemployment rate while the corrupt politicians get rich. That's is the backdrop of the situation, and these are the three most important points to know right now:
1) The vast majority of Iraqis support the US strikes against Iranian militias, who have killed over 500 Iraqi protestors and wounded or kidnapped thousands more. Iraqis have been continuously protesting since October to purge their government of the Iranian puppets who facilitate the theft of their oil revenue, so the militias are trying to suppress them. That's also why Iraqi political leaders are lashing out at the US -- not because of Iraqi sovereignty, but to defend Iranian interests.
The protests have so far resulted in new elections laws passing, a special election scheduled, and the resignation of the Iran-backed Prime Minister, Abdul Mahdi, who is in office temporarily until the special election. So when Mahdi criticizes Trump, know that the Iraqi people overwhelmingly oppose Mahdi's statements.
2) The theft of Iraqi oil revenue is the only lifeline Iran has under the sanctions, which their religious class has admitted is bankrupting them. Iranian citizens in Iran are still in revolt and burning down banks to support the US efforts to suffocate the regime. When the regime is no longer able to pay their military, the regime will fall. It's getting close.
3) The new election law passed by parliament will discontinue the appointment of Prime Minister candidates by the large Iran-backed political parties, and instead only accept candidates from regional districts (tribes, really), which means the candidates nominated will be anti-Iran and pro US. I predict the next PM will be Abdul-Ghani al-Asadi. All this adds up to REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN. And soon.

Easy peasy. Mayo, one finely minced garlic clove, some chopped, rinsed onion or shallot, a little minced pickle if you want, some capers if you have them. Enjoy.

You're welcome.

The "revered" Gandhi told the rest of Europe that they shouldn't resist Hitler. Because fighting back against totalitarian murderers is immoral or something ...
Posted by: ShainS -- Make the 20's Roar Again! at January 03, 2020 09:18 PM (WqPYg)







It always chaps my ass when someone trots out that horse shit about Gandhi being a pacifist. He was perfectly comfortable with the idea of violence. He recruited Indian combatants to fight alongside the Limeys during WWI.

And his whole "non-violence" campaign was actually based on violence. The point was to provoke it from the Limeys, and shame them into withdrawing from India.

Gandhi wanted Europe to appease Hitler because he knew that eventually they'd go to war anyway. Delaying would make the carnage worse, and make a total British defeat in the war more likely. This would make it easy for the Indians to declare independence.

The same strategy was practiced by the Irish in their benevolent neutrality towards the Nazis, it was a means to the end of a united Ireland.

The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized (not Congress) killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: "Turns out I'm really good at killing people. Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine."

Sounds like Robin Wright of the New Yorker's "The Killing of Qassem Suleimani is Tantamount to an Act of War" fame would like to jump in bed with the dead, America-hating terrorist.
Maybe his gelatinous remains will do for Robin what none of the LBGTQ+ Democrat presidential candidates can't.

631 If we contemplate Iran's response it could get ugly. Consider if they make it personal. Trump has relatives. You can't protect them from car bombs, lone assassins, etc. everywhere all the time. Just not possible. I totally support what he has done. But the risk he has taken for him and his family is grave. Pray for him and his family. Be vigilant.

I am very happy to recommend Dr Shiva to everyone that is in need of help to fix his/her broken relationship and marriage problem. When I found Dr Shiva, I was desperate in need of help to get my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I new nothing about the hole situation. He just dumped me after 3 years without no explanation and i believe she did a mooring on my boyfriend. I contacted Dr Shiva through his email and explain my problems to him and he cast a love spell to separate my boyfriend from the other woman and get him back to me. Shortly after he did the spell, my boyfriend came back to me and beg me to forgive him and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and we are planning our marriage. You can reach Dr Shiva for help on his email: reunitingexspell@yahoo.com. Dr Shiva is truely gifted and he alone can solve your relationship and marriage problem.
