Not sure if there is a need to point out.
The media during election runs to all the right wing diners to find the victims, the disgruntled forgotten man . For all of us forgotten and dismissed to hear their dire concerns of how other people are not living the way they and their religion demands us to.
After election media runs to right wingers to hear about their victimhood and disgruntled lives have been upended by their Savior Prez.
I mean they actually say , " Trump was supposed to use government to punish and harm those other people, not me".

No question about their small unintrusive government beliefs..
We all have to hear their unhappy LIFE STORIES AND HOW THEIR Prez HASN'T MADE America GREA FOR THEM.
FAct is, without changing their outlook on life there is noting anyone can do to make happy a mind set that is so angry and pessimistic.
They are disgruntled in life and are in need of making others miserable. It is their goal in life and GOP is using this to promise them they can help inflict this on others for them.
But when it smacks them too?

There are so many reports and stories of the poor me. The true deserving ones. Th
They want to be a Wall street wiz trader to profit their investments and do it themselves unlike most who will invest with a financial advisor. An Expert. Trump tells them there is no experts which turns him into a stable genius that they believe can be them as well.
The media not to neglect everyone else will bring on all sorts to discuss how they know what is wrong with democrats and what Democrats need to do.

The FAFO and Leopards eating their faces.
The victimhood and poor me Safa continues even when they hold all 3 branches of Government. We get told when they fail, it is Biden's fault. Guess the deep state is really dead.
If it is possible for a fictional "Deep State" to die.
Is it surprising after 40 years of right wing billionaires funding this illness. Well it probably began with FDR defeating the Hoover deity. They will not stop until they erase FDR. El Rubs fed to his listeners.
A glimmer of hope is that Trump represents the right disdain for conservatism. But, embracing the superior race and Naziism is not encouraging.

Thomas Ten Bears noted on his blog this morning that Iran manufactures drones that Russia uses to attack Ukraine, so he doesn't think it to be likely that Fergus will help degrade Iran's weapon building capability.
All of these fucks are even more deluded about what a war with Iran would look like than they were about what a war with Iraq would look like. Even with the theocratic government there, there is a societal cohesion that Iraq just didn't have. They're Persia, for fuck's sake. I worked for an Iranian chef in the eighties, and he had this (and very little else) to say about his home country: "The Ayatollah? He's not going anywhere. Shit, his dad's still alive..."
What makes Fergus putty in Bibi's hands, though, is the claim that the US and only the US has the capability to destroy Fordow, and Iran's fortified enrichment capability.
Which, of course, is bullshit. If you don't think that the technology and know-how they have buried there is not as I type this being decentralized and squirreled away elsewhere, you are stupid. Also, Iran has been on the cusp of a societal turn around for a while now, with a youthful population straining against the rule of the old theocrats. Thing is, though, they are more aware of the goings on in the rest of the world than, say, Americans in the same age group, and an attack from the US will only validate the cultural propaganda they have been immersed in their whole lives.
The part of "You go to war with the president you have" that I reject is the first four words. You don't go to war. War either finds you or you do your dead level best to stop it from happening.
Thank you again for the podcast. My relatives back in Oklahoma thought my dad was crazy for moving his family to California where there are earthquakes. Those same relatives, though, if they could afford it, had fortified bunkers in their back yards that they used to shelter from tornadoes.
