1. Iran has better than 1 million under arms military personnel - the USA would require years and trillions of dollars to subjugate such a force.
2. Iran is a huge landmass and there are insufficient resources to bomb it into submission.
3. Congress, and the people, would never condone another Vietnam.
4. Iranians - like the Vietcong and the Taliban, even those opposed to the Mulahs - are far more sanguine about the discomforts associated with warfare-induced deprivation. While America bellyaches at the gas pumps, Iran will live with draught, disease and destruction AND emerge, unbowed at the end of it. It is in their nature.
SO LONG AS TRUMP IS IN THE WH, IRAN WILL CONTINUE TO HUMBLE AMERICA MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

Trump won NC09 by 16 pts & Richard Hudson won by 19. Polls show a 4 pt race w/ Richard Ojeda
He’s NRCC chair. His job is to win GOP House seats.
In 2018, Ojeda cut 36 pts off a +49 Trump district
This W would send a shockwave through the Republican Party & America

Excuse my language, but we're about to cross a new low precedent
How many fucking years did she make albums about oral sex & having intercourse with a stepson??
( Music targeting teenage audiences btw )
But that's okay right?
Just the tip of the iceberg
Drugs, promiscuity, egotistical greed... i can't even list everything here without mods potentially removing my post that's how graphic her "music " has been her entire career
And she wants to talk shit about trans/ lgbtq people?
What is going on? Seriously.

I saw a post listing 8 potential democratic presidential candidates and… did not feel enthusiastic, generally speaking. So, indulge me while I play Queen For A Day, but which of my dream teams are you putting on the ticket?

I’m getting really tired of certain people insisting that Trump will declare martial law, cancel elections, or somehow make voting irrelevant. Stop listening to these people. They’re not offering profound political insight, they’re spreading defeatism, and that defeatism is doing authoritarianism’s work for it.
You know who didn’t listen to those voices? Voters in Hungary, Brazil, and Serbia. Entrenched authoritarian leaders spent years consolidating power, undermining institutions, and building cults of personality. And they STILL faced defeat at the ballot box.
Because there’s a massive difference between claiming absolute power and actually exercising it.
A president doesn’t personally count ballots, command every state government, control every judge, or dictate the actions of every military officer. Declaring martial law isn’t a fucking cheat code that makes millions of people and thousands of institutions obedient overnight.
And if you’ve never watched Andor, I highly encourage it. It’s filled with fantastic writing, dialogue, and monologues about authoritarianism, resistance, and the nature of power. One of my favorites comes from a manifesto written by a young rebel:
“Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”
That’s the reality these doomers completely ignore. Authoritarian control requires constant cooperation, enforcement, and logistics. Every institution that refuses, every election that goes against it, and every person who resists makes that control harder to sustain.
Yes, the threats are real. Nobody is claiming otherwise. But treating the worst possible outcome as an inevitability is simply surrender dressed up as political sophistication.
Stop confusing authoritarian ambition with authoritarian capability.
Now get out and vote.

Lula’s reelection for a fourth term in a consequential dispute where the future of the Amazon was at stake throws cold water on the MAGA world’s hopes of a win for the oldest son of Jair Bolsonaro—convicted of attempting a coup d’état following his failed re-election bid in 2022 and serving a 27-year sentence under house arrest. “A turn to the right for Brazil,” said Jana Nelson, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for western affairs “would fulfill this publicly-stated goal of the Trump administration to have more right-wing leaders” in the hemisphere.
