As it stands today

[PaxNurgle]

They had no choices left once the student radicals overthrew the Shah's government.

I'm amazed that no one can see the parallels between that and what's been happening for the past 4 years.

We DO see the parallels. Oh yes, we do.

A decent but ineffective president being overthrown by the radical religious right, restructuring the judiciary and imposing a strict, totalitarian government in place of the flagging ineffective one? People rallying behind a charismatic but corrupt and authoritarian leader? Student radicals posting on message boards with a half dozen different screen names? Oh yes, the parallels between United States 2025 and Iran 1979 are painfully clear to all who are paying attention.

There is one difference. You SUPPORT USA 2025 while condemning Iran 1979. This is somewhat surprising. Both government styles are the same, and both are EXACTLY your cup of tea.

Yup, you're blind,

Rumor on the street, unconfirmed, is that Assad cut a deal with Mossad before he blew town. The deal being they let him leave with his life and in return he provided them with detailed locations of where all Syria's nasty shit was stored. Because of Mossad's involvement it will be decades before there's any confirmation, if ever. But it is interesting that within hours of Assad getting on that plane to Moscow the IDF Air Force started blowing shit up all over the country.

In other news it appears that Musk is planning on becoming the anti-Soros.

Meaning what, exactly? Soros is certainly a better man.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Yup, you're blind,

You are blind if you cannot see the parallels between Iran in 1979 and Project 2025 and the trump administration in 2025.

Because they are there, plain as day. But as usual, you REFUSE to see it! Its a blind spot with you. Hypocrisy, that is. You cheer and wave the flag for an American Christian Dictatorship, claiming it gives you "Freedom" while, guess what? The Iranians in 1979- people just like you, waved their flag for their Islamic Republic and celebrated their "Freedom" from the corrupt and oppressive Shah. Maybe they WERE free. The fact that nobody else was, didn't seem to bother them- just like you aren't the least bit bothered by how many people will be oppressed and who will suffer under an American theological dictatorship.

Sooooooo, being the genius that you are you walk us through how all those threads converge, right?

Putin is holding him in limbo while taking his cut out of the loot. Dude was storing physical gold in Moscow. That's taking-a-gun-into-an-MRI-level stupid. Mother was correct when it comes to trolls.

It's a tight fit, but if you squeeze through his attic, you may be able to discern the clogged pathways.

Why do small minds have to latch on to and fetish meaningless symbols while at once holding onto some of the most poisonous and proven destructive ideologies of man not named as "original" sins?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

They cling to the originals, too.


Quite the charming lot, really.

Dig deep enough and you'll find the sin.

dirty little secret – Americans are pretty uptight about them

 

[Rebel5soul]

I need to set up an on-line pay-for-absolution site. Kinda like an on-line church without the sermons.

 

[BAstoicguy]

I thought that was called a DNC. The synonym of DNR.

Project 2025 is NOT the goal of the Trump administration. He has said it REPEATEDLY but you, somehow, can't seem to understand it. Instead you spread the lie.

BUT...

Parallels do exist. There's the antisemitism in our colleges and universities. The mobs screaming to kill Jews. The ACTUAL attempts by the GOVERNMENT (not some fruitcakes in a back room with internet access) to silence objections against their actions to disassociate segments of the populace while unlawfully elevating other segments. Statements of encouragement to those who are primed to violence against their neighbors. The acceptance by some factions of murder as political speech and for the public good. The attempts to redefine common words to allow violence against those who object. The reduction and/or elimination of existing rights in the name of favoritism for nonexistent rights. Imprisonment (in our homes and/or incarceration in prison) of those who dissent to the attempt by the government to control whether we can speak out against the acts of our government, denied our ability to work, and be (sometimes forcedly) injected with a vaccine whether we desire it or not. The denial of enumerated rights of religious belief and faith.

These are ALL there if you look. And, contrary to the Leftist narrative, they're ALL part of the progressive ideology which also existed in Germany in the 1930's. But you continue to mouth your bullshit in the name of a progressive ideology which has been exposed as corrupt and antithetical to the principles and laws of the United States of America and Her people. Go ahead and keep proving that YOU are the actual Marxist and hater of liberty and freedom.

By your own words you shall be judged and condemned.

Project 2025 is about 900 pages. I doubt that Pax has bothered to read it.

Pax hasn't bothered to read anything. Ever. Because while reading is fundamental to the rest of us, illiteracy is his go-to excuse to lie about everything.

He says a lot of things. You do know he is a liar, don't you?

He's sharper than Trump, anyway. He was when they both were young, and that has not changed as they have aged.

....

We both know, they understand perfectly, but their polity is one of emotion and to them, appealing to reason will get you nowhere quick. Take Kamala, for example, she was a very reasonable pick. Experienced. Likeable. Able to fill vast minutes while speaking extemporaneously without repeating anything she just said while she was saying everything that she had said before is is gong to tell you again when you ask again and she looks forward to being asked.

She's so POP-u-lar...

What was the question? I got a little unburdened there. I should have Venned it first...

OH yeah... Look where reason got her!

If anyone thought the dems were unhappy with Musk they are absolutely outraged now. Why? Because he and Vivek actually read that 1500 page piece of shit spending bill and went public with all the crap it contained. There are a few repubs whose oxen were gored that aren't too happy either.

It was always public.
