Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said in a social media post on Tuesday night that the United States and Iran, “along with their allies,” had agreed to an immediate cease-fire. He said the cease-fire applies everywhere, “including Lebanon and elsewhere.”

No, that kind of moral equivalence is what Trump plays on.

Take for example: “All politicians lie”

But!

“Read my lips, no new taxes” is qualitatively different from “They are eating the cats! We are deporting rapists and murders!”

Surely you see the difference

Obama war crimes bombings at least he worked with the State Department and DoD lawyers to come up with a legal theory and framework. It obviously blurred some boundaries. But it was qualitatively different from literally threatening genocide after consulting (as far as we can tell) nobody.

In a world where POTUS was literally and credibly threatening genocide a few hours ago… could we please not normalize violence as a solution?

NO. What a terrible take. Even articles to impeach a bad POTUS adds short-term uncertainty and sends markets DOWN.

We see no effect in markets now because of the near-zero probability this passes the Senate.

I have this dream where an administration treats education like the moon shot 2.0

• Literacy rate targets in the 90+%
• Critical Thinking Skills to receive as much focus as literacy itself

With incentives, funds, and regulatory relief to encourage & reward innovation, like what Ukraine’s government did with drones. But… with education.

TBH markets despise uncertainty and Trump has long since lost the majority of the business community.

The Fremen are more like traditional/indigenous Iraqi tribes. Not like the Iranian empire.

And us Atheists who point out that all the various Gods are fucking fanfic have to shut up and take it

Please. At a time like this and with a man as great as Trump, only a heroic Charlie Kirk treatment will do.

Worth noting: Iraq and Iran are very different societies & cultures.

Before colonialism, Iraq was decentralized/tribal for thousands of years before being arbitrarily collected into a single political unit.

Meanwhile Iran was its own empire, with a central head of power for those thousands of years.

More importantly, arriving 4 weeks into active conflict.

Instead of arriving before the bombs started dropping, when they could have been 100x more effective by their mere presence – especially if combined with a full-spectrum diplomatic and economic push with the Democracies of the world as allies.

Jesus Christ, Trump and his cabinet are fucking hubristic-stupid

Jesus? The guy who makes threats like these to any who oppose him? What a hideous, vile individual. He’d be a great roommate for Pol Pot, Stalin, or Kim Jong Il. Don’t sanewash his brutality.

John 3:18

whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

John 3:36

whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

Matthew 25:41–46

Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Matthew 13:41–42

They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Regarding those who do not belong to His Kingdom)

And what is it that rotted Hegseth’s mind, so that from an early age he failed to learn critical thinking, and instead learned to “go with what feels good”, to accept moral decisions being made by Someone With Greater Authority, to have firm beliefs based on no fucking evidence?

Hegseth was not “born evil” – he didn’t start murdering his preschool classmates. He learned to stop thinking, to just take orders, to abdicate responsibility … which are what makes him evil.

The grift and gambling are the least of the issues.

Any enemy actor now has a strong reliable signal telegraphing what the US government is about to do.

Economically, diplomatically, militarily.

This is TREASON, actually.
