Integrity and consistency do not exist in MAGA land. This is all about what Dear Leader says that instant, and everything that existed before is dumped. Brave New World and 1984 are our only reliable guides to this toxic phenomenon.
For students of history, this recalls nothing so much as the strident anti-Nazi posture that American Communists took right up until the minute that the Moltov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed and they did a 180 into pacifism, only to to do another backflip as soon as Operation Barbarossa got under way with the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Take your pick between Mark Twain's take (history doesn't repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes) or Karl Marx's (history repeats twice, once as tragedy and once as farce).
The one good thing all of the flip-flopping MAGAts do to align with the Tangerine Toddler shows is that MAGA is proven to be a genuine cult. Loyal to their Dear Greedier, they will never follow anyone else. They will split into factions and ultimately turn on each other.
MAGA will die with Donald John, and it will take decades and another demagogue to bring it back to its next zombie apocalypse.
Israel is quite able to defend itself. It has the highest tech army in the Middle East and years ago it was reported to have over 300 nuclear warheads. Who knows how many they have now? There is no reason why we should let ourselves be inserted in Bibi's game plan because it is of no benefit to us, and there are no moral reasons to get involved
Iraq started out in just the same way, with a "surgical" bombing campaign to degrade WMD capabilities. Operation Desert Fox, December 1998. It didn't end well.
Fox TV and Fox Channel (not news for me b/c it's propaganda and Foxaganda) would distort these techniques b/c they work for one to one. Liz Cheney's text message on Reich has the group techniques. We need organization and a Project 2029 to recover strength and power. There is no shortage of sadism, cruelty, and authoritarianism, just a shortage of common sense and truth.
I would not describe these people as “doves.” Their anti-war rhetoric was never about peace or nonviolence. They were fine with the January 6 insurrection. They were fine with Trump’s threats to our allies in Canada and Greenland. They are fine with masked goons violently rounding up immigrants. They somehow managed to blame democrats for the murder of 2 democratic lawmakers. They do not want peace, either at home or abroad.
Political lies are a part of life (even Demopublicans lie - who knew?). The truly adept politician is able to lie out of both sides of his/her mouth simultaneously while spinning in tight little circles. So far the best liars have been Republicrats although the Demopublicans are trying their best to catch up and their strategy of too little too late seems to be hindering them in this regard.
The main effect of the U.S. raids on Iran seems to have been to shift Iran away from domestic production of nuclear weapons to acquiring them from global sources. Yay, well-done Republicrats. My guess is that Iranian drone production for supply to Putin in Ukraine has not been affected and an exchange in support of Iranian nuclear capability is in the works. We shall see. In any case, T. Rump's DNI is apparently heading to her secret survival bunker under the polar ice cap. Saw it on the internet so it must be true-right?
1.) The contortions (pretzel logic) we see on the right would be about the same on the left had a Democratic President done the same thing. Few are protesting the legality (international law not US law) and the morality of what has happened. There is no right to preemptive strikes without an imminent threat of attack.
Even if Iran was making and stockpiling nuclear warheads that alone would not necessarily mean there was any attack imminent. Deciding what weapons a nation has in its defensive arsenal is essentially a sovereign right over which other nations ought to have no say.
2.) People need to get their head out of their asses and stop following antisocial media influencers.
The flip-flopping in MAGA world just proves the point: MAGA is a cult and Trump is their savior. The road ahead should be seen as a religious war, where the Constitution is the point, and fuck all the fools who can't see that. We will need cult deprogramming techniques to restore that 7 million + people who voted for him. That, and the end of Fox news. Rupert Murdoch can't hold on much longer and his kids, other than Lachlan, want to turn the MAGA megaphone off. I live in hope.
Do the both sider bros agree with Trump’s DEI policies?
Can Tweedle and Deedle give a specific example of how Trump is keeping them, or anyone, “safe”?
Can a YouTube channel with 3.4M subscribers tell anyone, of those 3.4M subscribers, actually knows a transgender individual?
Can a kid on kid bro show explain to their 3.4M subscribers, line by line, what the OBBB proposes?
Can jokers laugh at crazy liberals that actually understand that without the Constitution, rule of law their channel will no longer broadcast and they’ll be irrelevant in a hot minute?
Influencing people is not a profession unless said influencers are skilled to influence. Even then it’s a one trick pony that in the caverns of their history, being erased, they being played as black fools doing the dirty for a man wanting them to disappear back to where they came from.
Bombs away bros. Enjoy your second of fame because you’re on the list.
Keeping it real over ceding one’s own knowledge to the contrary.
Great comment. Every time I read about someone who makes his or her living as an "influencer", I just roll my eyes. How did our nation become so stupid?
Influencers!!! That’s the How!!! Haha! I totally agree with the eye rolling at yet another mom-kids now school age-mentor-for wellness-life coach-I get free crap-influencers!!! Or bro brainiacs that appeal to “lonely” men. Get off the internet and perhaps mom’s basement and take life by the nuts by not hiding, that’ll help loneliness, behind a screen! I’m old but my college and HS days will forever be PRIVATE!!! That’s good stuff! Thanks for replying!!

Netanyahu has been wanting to fight Iran down to the last American soldier standing since 1979.

Don't sell the concept that many MAGA love the bomb - because there is proof that Trump has lost many with this decision.
We had few allies before this bombing - now even less. There is very limited worldwide respect for us or Trump.
We need to impeach Trump and undo all his damage - before he creates more

I must file that excuse away for future personal use under "The dog ate my homework" category.
So, AI wrote it, and they published it without reading what AI said. How to say you're lazy and lack attention to detail with saying it.
so ... america first isolationism is ... dead?
So much misinformation, so much hypocrisy, so much chaos. Thanks for a well written article explaining what is going on.
This article makes clear two things to me:
1.) The contortions (pretzel logic) we see on the right would be about the same on the left had a Democratic President done the same thing. Few are protesting the legality (international law not US law) and the morality of what has happened. There is no right to preemptive strikes without an imminent threat of attack.
