It’s okay everyone! Babs says Trump and Hegseth have this regime change thing in the bag! It’s going to be okay with Trump and Hegseth in charge! Surely nothing could go badly with them making such monumental decisions based on the Epstein files!
It’s nice that you are making shit up about me.
I don’t have to make shit up about you - if I wanted to cite the claim that you are a loser incel who would never sleep with a woman because he is such a paranoid misogynistic fuck that he would have to secretly record any sexual encounter due to his irrational fear of being accused of rape after the fact, I could just cite the post where you yourself admit this.
Whereas you of course cannot cite the horrific claims you make about me, because they are the product of your deranged excuse for a mind, not anything I’ve actually said.
You trust Trump and Hegseth to put American service men and women at risk in a war of choice on a nation of nearly a hundred million people. I seriously doubt there are any claims that could be more horrific against Der Trihs.
Does Lee Greenwood have song for this?
I’m sure there are a few “investors” who have done well by this attack.
80 dead kids… but don’t worry, Babs said it’s going to all work out! Trump and Hegseth are in charge.
How many dead children (real present world children, not hypothetical future children that are supposedly at risk if this war didn’t happen) is this war worth, Babs? Is 80 good with you? Is 100 too many? 1000? Maybe 10000?
…is there any source that confirms this aside from IRNA? The newly linked article, yet again, just quotes them.
Also, a good quote from the article:
It’s remarkable how Reich wingers get the vapors when Iranian protesters are killed but are just fine with the ICEstapo executing US citizens in the streets with no accountability.
I’m not aware of any right wingers who have posted in this thread recently. ICE agents who killed people should face criminal charges (at the state level so Trump can’t mess with the prosecution) and when Democrats retake Congress we need to get rid of all the assholes Trump stuffed ICE with and prevent him from using government agencies this way in the future.
Any other strawmen you wanna trot out?
But you’re safe and comfy at home, right Babs? Others in harm’s way for Trump and Hegseth… but you’re just fine. No risk to Babs. The best kind of war there is.

But remember to see this whole escalating series of military adventures in the proper light. Trump is very unpopular and growing more so every day. He now faces what seems close to the certainty of losing at least one House of Congress. As his public support ebbs his power and the power to dominate ebb as well. For Trump that is akin to a psychic death. So, as a matter of psychological balancing and self-care more than strategy, he is leaning heavily into the presidential prerogative powers where his power is most untrammeled, where the loss of political power doesn’t really matter. Almost no presidential power is more clearly in that character as the president’s control over the military. Put simply, he’s leaning into those powers as a matter of psychological compensation.
Trump doesn’t give a shit about protesters or even the safety of Israel. He cares about his own power, wealth, and national/global perception of his power and wealth. That’s what this is about.
That’s what the coward-fuck warmongers are cheering on.
This isn’t about domestic American politics at all, but I don’t expect you to be capable of pulling your head far enough out of your own ass to comprehend this.
Right. Trump and Hegseth started a war because of some deep international crises that only they have the genius and courage to handle. Very convincing!
No, I’m sure they started it for their own domestic reasons. But war with Iran is much bigger than Trump and Hegseth, although again, I don’t expect you to be capable of removing your head from your anus and realizing this.
If Trump wasn’t a piece of shit, then he would have done this instead of one round of bombs in June of last year, or he would have gotten off his ass before Iran finished mopping up protesters in January.
So they started it for their own domestic reasons… but somehow it’s going to all work out great with them calling the shots? You can’t possibly expect us to believe this, can you?
We’re back to this dumb fuck view of reality where heads of state are commanding troops like a realtime strategy game?
Like I already said, Trump has already fucked up some of the big calls, in ways that caused 30,000 innocent people to die for no reason. So nope, it’s already not “worked out great”.
That doesn’t mean that not going to war is the right answer. Obviously if we had a competent president and took Khameini out in June, that would have been a million times better. But better late than never.
Chuck Schumer is outraged - OUTRAGED, I tell you! - that he wasn’t given a chance to vote yes on this attack.
Trump and Hegseth decide if and when to attack. They choose the plans from various alternatives presented to them (by handpicked generals/admirals now that Hegseth has fired the ones they find unacceptable). Most importantly, they decide the actual mission and goal (which still hasn’t clearly been articulated).
And you trust these idiot fucks, that they’re making the right decisions now at this moment? Are you fucking kidding me?
Apparently you can’t read.
