Good Guys vs Bad Guys

I really want to think of Iran as the good guys – I mean, those LEGO videos are top-notch. They’re totally selling Iran as not the bad guys in this war. 

Just think of how much good, how many races the Dems would win if the  DNC had the creativity, chutzpah, and talent to do something along the LEGO lines.

This is real life though, not some simplistic Hollywood movie with Jedi and the Rebel Alliance versus Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire. Iran is not the Rebel Alliance. The US is most def NOT the Jedi coming to the rescue of an oppressed and beleaguered people.

The judiciary, which announces near-daily executions and arrests of dissidents, and the hardline-dominated parliament were untouched during the war. State television and other media outlets remain directly controlled or influenced by the IRGC or factions like the hardline Front of Islamic Revolution Stability, or Paydari Front, and broadcast state messaging by any means possible, including through artificial intelligence-generated videos.

You just KNOW the orange shitbag has a wicked stiffy for those daily executions. He can’t understand why HE can’t order those up. 

And JDouche finally gains an ultra tiny bit of popularity – if we can call it that without laughing. 

“Witkoff and Kushner are seen in Tehran as very much aligned with Israel and Netanyahu,” said Alex Vatanka, head of the Iran program at the Middle East Institute. “Why negotiate with these two guys that don’t seem to be the most serious of figures Washington could have sent, and the fact that twice, right after meeting with them, they got bombed? Not only did Witkoff and Kushner not build trust at a time where trust is essential for the process to move forward, they achieved the opposite. (source) 

So, the socially banjaxed couch molester is seen as a preferred negotiator when the only other option is two lying-ass, money-grubbing, on-the-take, incompetent real estate developers. OUCH!

And the Pedophile in Chief keeps pushing his Epstein Memorial Ballroom. He wants taxpayers to pay for it. I’m old but I DO remember him announcing that his Soviet style my-dick’s-bigger-than-yours vanity project would be paid for by private donors – NOT us.

When Trump publicly announced the project on July 31, 2025, he said the ballroom would be funded entirely by private donations, including his own, and pegged the cost at $200 million. He has since doubled that estimate to $400 million and disclosed the names of 37 private donors backing the project.

A review of federal spending shows that several of the ballroom donors — including Microsoft, Palantir, and Amazon Web Services — receive billions in federal contracts. (source) 

Looks like the donors have already gotten their payoff. Where’d that money go? Trump’s got offshore accounts – bet on it.

In “A stopped clock is right twice a day” news, Prick Scott, the thieving senator from Florida actually said something I agree with (YES, I couldn’t be more stunned):

“I don’t know why you would do it” with taxpayer money “if it’s all funded," said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., a Trump ally and spending hawk.

“We have $39 trillion in debt,” he added. “Maybe we ought to stop spending money.” (source) 

So, it’s Tuesday. The world could totally use a whole fleet of heroes. I could use a full body transplant (EVERYTHING aches today). Apart from the whole going-to-war-thing, I SO want to live in John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War universe where body transplants are a thing.
