trans men became men because they don't feel right wearing dresses

[pErvinalia]

There's no such thing as trans men. There's only trans women. And they want to get into ladies changing rooms.

[Svartalf]

that's a real shame, because dating a preop trans guy would be the closest i could ever approach to being gay.

Ex wife asked if I could get with a trans. I couldn't do it. Feels icky to me. She said she would have no problem with it.

"In January, Stephen Miller gave a blustery and revealing interview to the CNN journalist Jake Tapper. Flush with the triumph of the military raid to abduct Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, Miller was taking a victory lap. America was done being the world’s nice guy, footing the bill for a global order that no longer served its interests. From now on, he said, the gloves were off. America would act boldly and with unapologetic force to impose its will on the world.

"This was seemingly the purest expression of Donald Trump’s theory of power, spoken by perhaps the most hard-line member of the administration."
"It was with this pugnacious certainty that the Trump administration barreled into a reckless, unprovoked war against Iran more than two months ago. Trump clearly thought it would be a showcase of American might, unshackled from what Miller called the “niceties” of international law and powered by ruthless “kinetic” action, to borrow a favorite word of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s.

"It hasn’t worked out that way. Despite losing its leader and many other top officials, Iran has mounted a formidable response, inflicting widespread damage on America’s regional allies and military bases. By seizing control of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has grasped something akin to an economic nuclear weapon, sending fuel prices soaring and prompting shortages of key goods in many parts of the world."

"Miller’s chest-thumping recalls one of the most ancient and influential texts about war, Thucydides’ “History of the Peloponnesian War.” Across eight detailed books, it tells the story of an epic fight between two rival hegemons in the Mediterranean, Athens and Sparta. “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must,” the powerful Athenians tell the citizens of Melos, a neutral Greek island, ordering them to submit or be slaughtered.

"This declaration is often cited as an ur-realist iron law of might equaling right. But there’s an irony that often escapes those who cite the line, perhaps because they didn’t read the whole text. If they had, they’d discover that the Melians were not powerless victims but cleareyed prophets. “And what is this but to make greater the enemies that you have already, and to force others to become so who would otherwise have never thought of it?” the Melians asked their attackers."

"It is not hard to see the parallels to America’s situation. Like the Athenians, the Trumpians saw their romp in Venezuela as a sign of their irrefutable power. And like the Athenians, they overreached — attacking an enemy they underestimated with muddled motives, uncertain support at home and no clear plan for victory. Entranced by their own capacity for violence, they thought their power to effect their will was limitless."

"Trump’s support back home, meanwhile, is in free fall. In poll after poll, large majorities of Americans say they oppose the war, do not understand its purpose and deeply dislike the havoc it is wreaking on their pocketbooks. Seeing the political peril ahead, Trump has urgently sought an offramp, promising an imminent deal even as he issues empty threats of total annihilation and baseless claims of total victory. Few seem to believe him."

With Trump 37% approval. MAGA are still supporting him. In a few states in primaries we see two candidates gettin a lot of the votes on the Republican side, but BOTH are Trumpian. The primary elections just get the hard core Trumpers to show up. In states where independents vote in primaries, they are not showing up.

The cult believe a lot of Trump's lies. But, there is something more important than throwing out illegals and "owning the libs." The president acting like nobody can oppose him and preparing all kinds of symbols of his might. Battleships, monument. The MAGA people just love all this. And they believe Trump looks strong as an autocrat to the world. That point they will never change their minds on. All this "negotianing" is for wimps! We are America! They really did want Greenland too.

makes no sense... if the US has oil enough that you sell to china to now that frump has cut all their sources, that implies that you still make enough for you own needs.
I know that France lost vietnam because we were dumb enough to sell all the rice abroad and drive the peasants into hunger rebellion, but what ruler would be dumb enough to starve his own people of something deeply necessary?

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah. It's click bait for boomers.

Prophesy is good business. I could never get that weird.

According to CBS News, the Trump administration was preparing for a fresh round of possible military strikes against Iran, though no final decision had been taken as of Friday.

Officials said parts of the US military and intelligence community cancelled holiday plans and were placed on standby.

A White House spokesperson said, “The President has made his redlines abundantly clear: Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon, and they cannot keep their enriched uranium.”
