One of two possibilities.
- they are literally wanting just chaos so all government collapses.
- they have someone within the current regime or military that they are picking as a favorite and clearing the way.

I wouldn't assign that level of forethought to them normally, but this is Iran and "they" may not be trump & hegseth, but someone within the chain of command or Israel's military.

Gwynn is having bloodwork done, so she can't eat or have coffee... and my sense of solidarity means I'm not having any either... [tired growl]

How do you people who don't drink coffee or tea survive mornings? Like, is it murder? You murder people don't you? [sullen pout]

There is literally no misinformation the right won't spew. There is literally no crime the right won't perform.

If it gains them power, then it's not a lie and it wasn't wrong.

The ends justify every action. Not just their means, but every action. Not just the useful ones, but every failed idea, every thinly disguised fetish, all of it.

Because they justify themselves via the power they steal or kill for. They believe when they have power they can do no wrong.

"I was born with the wrong sign.
In the wrong house.
With the wrong ascendancy."

"I took the wrong road,
that led to the wrong tendencies.
I was in the wrong place,
at the wrong time.
For the wrong reason & the wrong rhyme."

"On the wrong day of the wrong week.
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique"

One of the reasons I think the american fascist are so beholden to nazis is because they have been butthurt for a fucking century that Germans observed white supremacy in the US and then "improved" it in their eyes.

These lilly-ass klan fucks saw their German and European counterparts doing the evil they dreamed of. So they want to claim stormtrooper and the symbolism, they want to cosplay as the ss, or whatever gets their unloved, fuckless, souless dicks to feel something.

Dobson did that.

He got his fellow christians to terrorize two or three generations of queer kids to never speak out in new and terrible ways.

He trapped literally thousands, if not millions, of women in abusive marriages because of guilt tripping, gaslighting and threats, disguised as 'family counseling'.

He dressed christian hate in suits and ties, and used psychological and medical terms to hide his agenda. Which was anti-science, anti-women, anti-everything that didn't come from his god.

I was forced to go to the.. fuck I wanna say the 'Falls Creek Fish Fry' - it was a yearly southern baptist retreat for the leadership wanking each other off or some such bullshit - and a Focus on the Family guest speaker was there to talk to all the teens being held hostage by their parents.

It was the most hate-filled screed I'd ever heard. Oh, it was polite, well spoken, in that friendly way - but they hated everything. From music to women to Dems. It was barely disguised kkk indoctrination.

Oh shit! James Dobson just died?
Fuck - someone alert Satan, he'll have to hand the keys of Hell over soon then.

For those who don't know, Dobson was the shitstain propagandist and hatemonger behind Focus On The Family from the 70s on - he helped shape or started modern christian reactionary bullshit - from conversion therapy and blocking AIDs research to wanting a roll back to 1950s (or 1850s) for Civil Rights (esp women's rights)

His legacy is domestic violence, abortion clinic bombings, and inciting violence against anyone different from his pasty white ass.

I hope he rots in his own hell.

I dreamed I was part of a content creation team that was producing videos of reactions to non-existent movies and shows. Like "Adventures of Snark Girl" or "Frenemies". Just made up shows, and the face would do this whole deal reacting to it, and we'd have to make up clips and scenes of the shows. Write up plots for her to 'react' to.

Like the plot of Frenemies was a parody of Friends, but with mob enforcers and hit men - trying to make it in the big city.

It was pure delightful nonsense.

After trump's first term everyone said expand the fucking courts. It's not just about balancing or whatever either. The fucking justices aren't getting enough fucking done.

Despite the 7,000+ petitions a year, they also over see 1 or 2 circuit courts each?

But we had Biden. We had Manchin. We had Pelosi. We had the gaggle of useless fucks who didn't want to be incharge.

So we got fucked by the maga/gop and then fucked by the dems and now we're just in the firesale stage of US 'justice'.

I'm as old as D&D, I started playing as a kid. I'm old enough I can instantly tell you what things like BECMI means or how to calculate fucking THAC0

So to many of my fellow olds & gamers out there: SHUT THE FUCK UP! Please! Let the people half our age play the gods damned games they want to play and don't fucking gatekeep. How did you get like this? Seriously - you assholes dealt with the satanic panics - you got fucking gaslit for playing. Why try to limit the fucking game for other people?

This post brought to you by some fuckless wonder trying to tell people half his age that "real" D&D only works with alignments and hard alignment requirements. [rolls eyes] Seriously just go play the game your way and stop frothing at the mouth about your pet peeves and post-midlife crises man-baby feels. Fuck.

And I advise applying this sentiment liberally to any bigoted or gaslighting fucker you might encounter.

@gwynnion
We have to wait until either the judge rules the incompetence and ("potentially") false evidence allowed or disallowed before we can really crow about their fucking uselessness.

But this is just another day in the US, cops ignore any laws and policies to act like badasses in their own minds. A manhunt becomes a bomb threat & terrorism just because; evidence is mistreated because they trust the justice system to back them over anything resembling people's rights.

So many people think republicans are those friends you talk with at work, or the guys who built their own business and seem to care about the work. Those aren't republicans.

Those are the victims of republicans. People who've been duped into believing that 'small government' and 'balanced budgets' are a thing the gop want. Dupes, patsies, MLM victims.

Revoking constitutional rights? Deportations; destroying the economy; murdering veterans, the sick, or the old; banning books - that's the gop.

It's not the phone making you sad; it's the horror show of everything being inflicted on all of us.

It's not video games; it's child abuse and indoctrination leading to school shootings.

It's never the innocuous thing the powers that be blame - it's fucking them. The wealthy, the powerful, the famous. It's in their best interest to never let you question the status quo, and if that current "normal" is quickly degrading right before your eyes, then it must be something or someone else's fault!

@gwynnion
It's just billionaire (and friends) braggadocio. The lifestyles of the rich & famous dialed up to 20 .

@gwynnion
That moment when you realize your entire culture is an egregore of millions of dead racist's, bigot's and hate-monger's desire to enslave every living person to some warped version of a 'perfect society' the long dead would imagine; and you just can't unsee it.

One of the reasons ultra wealthy & financial elites don't run for public office beyond a certain level of anonymity (aside from exceptions like NYC mayor) is totally because fame isn't something they can fight.

Yeah, musk could curate his fame as a techbro whatever, but he's not a techbro, he's the one pissing on the drapes in the white house right now. Just looking at Tesla will tell you what this type of fame does. It's not controllable, and previous generations knew that. 1/

That's why the successful sociopaths in the business world are the ones hidden from the public.

People like trump aren't the backroom dealers or decision makers, they're the fucking patsy or the fall guy.

He loves thinking he'll be the boss, and the whole presidency is just that, but he's just a mob money launderer & slum lord to the rich and famous.

He's an extra in his own story.

Hence his utter desire for fame and wealth. His myopic focus on appearance and prestige. Gilded as it is. 3/
