The mullahs have promised, repeatedly, to destroy Israel, to ‘wipe it off the map’. Nobody on the left seems to take them literally. Welp, the blood of a couple million Israelis will forever be on your hands when it happens.  More than any other reason, that’s why there needs to be regime change.  The next Government…

A lot of Iranian people are going to die, go on and accept that Iran isn’t immune from the forces of history and human nature. Either they’re going to stumble into a shooting war with the US, either via direct confrontation, or via one of their odious proxy groups in the ME, in either case it’ll be catastrophic for…

Except Russia blinked last time they tried. This isn’t a 3rd grade classroom, it’s Realpolitik, where we need neither apologize or ask permission for exercising and working towards what we view as our own self interest.  Iran is free to do likewise, but are a small player on a big stage nipping at the heels of a…

Agreed, pinning the next government shutdown on Nancy and the dem congress would be best for Trump

It’ll end up in court and Congress will lose. The law and the precedent is pretty clear that Congress’ ability to subpeona is limited and can’t be used for a purely political purpose.  Nancy and Adam can gesticulate hysterically about Russia all the like but outside of the Gawker faction of US politics, nobody gives a…

What you’re seeing the Trump administration do in Iran is exactly what you’re calling for. There’s no invasion, there’s no direct interference in Iran’s internal governance. What’s happening is the world’s economic and military hegemon pressuring a rogue regime with the tools at it’s disposal.   Not a single country,…

The goal is regime change.  The US isn’t going to strait up mount an invasion, but should Iran do something stupid, even by proxy, the US has the assets in place to wreck large swaths of Iran’s static military assets and deny their merchant fleet access to blue water.  There will be plenty of grumbling from the…

This explains why India (and a bunch of others) agreed to Trump’s demand they stop importing Iran’s oil.  Iran, much like you I suspect, doesn’t have many friends.  Sure, they can play footsie with China and their immediate neighbors, but nobody is paying them market rate for their oil.  They’re still making money on…

A bunch of Iranians, I suspect. I’m an old, and remember the 1979 revolution. As late as 1978, the Shah’s position was rock solid and conventional wisdom was highly confident that Khomeini was just another rabble rouser destined to die at the hand of SAVAK.

Yeah, i get it. People, particularly people who are plugged in politically, tend to mouth certain platitudes about him. I think we know why that is, but absolutely nobody is pining for his return to office.  DiBlasio won’t get the same white glove treatment when he’s out of office.  Speaking of that, I’m going to meet…

Actually, the pressure campaign is working. Iran has few allies, even fewer who will admit to it. Iran gins up a new war between Hamas and Israel to try to get the Arab world untied behind them, except all of Iran’s belligerence in the levant is now working against them.  If there is any pan-arab consensus, it’s anti…

I will say (and should have put this in my other post) that when DiBlasio announced his run for Mayor, he had no chance. I mean he was like 6th in the polls or something. I remember reading a fawning writeup of him in the New Yorker, I think , when he was still way back in the pack, and thinking how glad I was that he…

Yes we need another NY Halfwit that has a constant stream of stupid tweets in the whitehouse

I work extensively with C level people across NYC Government, and have for most of the last 20 years. I can say that, without a hint of sarcasm or exaggeration, Today’s NYC is worse run than it was under David Dinkins, who is commonly held to be the worst mayor in the last 100 years.  DiBlasio’s appointees are mostly…

No, i mean she’s a literal lesbian who wanted to become more relevant. Today’s Democrat party would be much more inclined to nominate her than her big stupid show husband.

Wow, so white brooklynite doesn’t like Black Women with viewpoint that doesn’t match hers. Are they being too uppity for you Sammy?

Selling anti-Trump books (even here, where the conclusion is ‘no collusion’) to the Orange Man Bad faction is a high margin enterprise.  PT Barnum is smiling.

Wow, this is really big news, that Trump was impeached, tried, and convicted! Holy shit! I’m glad the cub reports at Splinter are bringing this to light since the MSM is hiding the truth from us, and not just performing a big group circlejerk!

Did i just get lectured by a 19th century school marm?  It would appear so!

Guilty? I mean i was away for a week on vacation, did I miss an impeachment, trial, and conviction?
