Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Where would Israel be without aid from the U.S. in money and arms? The British were primarily responsible for the creation of a Jewish state on Arab land. So they’d exist without us. But when it came to war, where would Israel be now? What would their borders look like without American patronage? You don’t see any parallels? Also, fuck you for comparing me to Anastasis. Don’t be a clown, Bozo.

You might say the relationship between Iran and terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas is sort of like the relationship between the United States and Israel.

JD Vance Fucked 5 couches as a hillbilly, then went on to kill the pope
Maybe he’s too young to remember when Reagan was trading arms for hostages with Iran, prompting Iran to take more hostages so they could get more arms (via our Israeli connection, mind you). Or that Reagan took the money from the arms sales and illegally diverted it to South American death squads, helping to destabilize that region which has a direct connection to the migrant and asylum-seeking “crisis” we’re seeing today.

ICE activity/raids
We were doing it 20 years ago. Calling any suspect a “terrorist,” shipping them off to foreign countries to be tortured, holding them indefinitely without any charges, sending them to Gitmo. We’re basically doing the same thing now, calling them criminals, murderers, rapists, vermin, invaders, and I’m pretty sure the label “terrorists” has also been used. We’re using basically the same tactics now but this time we’re trying to just wash our hands of them. We’re not even pretending that we might ever charge them with crimes. We don’t care about that. We just want them out and fuck their human and legal rights. Still, though, it’s another in the thousand ways the George W. Bush presidency foreshadowed Trump.

We all know the response from Republicans if Obama had ever done that.- ICE activity/raids
How about now? Or, say, two weeks from now?- ICE activity/raids
How does Trump’s sucking Putin’s dick and shitting on all our allies compare to Dubya’s transgressions?- ICE activity/raids
I remember feeling uncomfortable when George W. Bush created this massive new government bureaucracy called the Department of Homeland Security because it smacked of creeping fascism. It recalled the Nazi use of the term “Fatherland.” I wasn’t a member of this community back then. Had Shaggy even split off yet by that time? I don’t know. I don’t think so but I could be wrong. But I’ll bet some of you shared that same sentiment. And now here we are seeing it come to fruition. Bush (43) was already advancing the imperial presidency but as so often has been the case, Trump comes along and turns it up to 11. ICE, and/or whoever his masked stormtroopers are, are his gestapo. And just like when it was “you’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists” under Dubya, now everyone who isn’t a Trump loyalist can be branded a “terrorist” and sent off to CECOT or Gitmo or some other concentration camp. Just another example of the thousand ways that the George W. Bush presidency foreshadowed Trump. What’s really crazy is that even Dick fucking Cheney - every bit as guilty as GWB in laying the groundwork for Trump’s abuse of power, had the nerve to speak out against Trump and Trumpism. But not Georgie. Fucking coward. DHS needs to be dismantled. Funny how DOGE didn’t look into that.- Trump’s America

Didn’t some of the rulings restraining Obama’s actions go into effect immediately? And didn’t at least one or two of those rulings come from a judge in Texas? Also, Kacsmaryk is a total douchebag.- Minnesota lawmakers shot by person impersonating as a police officer *Update—2 killed*
I first heard it as a Mennonite joke.- Grateful Dead General Thread
Speaking of anniversaries, I watched this one live on PPV. Still a noob, it was unofficially my 3rd show. It was my introduction to the summer solstice show, which was a thing. Now to move a little off topic, six years later I drove down to Cincinnati to see if Phish made a big deal out of the solstice. They did not. But it was still a unique and awesome show and there’s a really good amateur video with great sound documenting the band in their youth when the energy was off the charts. I saw this show and the next night in Columbus (which was later released officially as Live Phish 10, amazing show and I had 3rd row center seats, the best I could get being first in line at the box office when they went on sale). The next day I boarded a plane to Las Vegas for three nights of the Dead at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. The contrast in energy between the two bands was stark. I already had tickets for the Dead’s shows at Deer Creek and Buckeye Lake. Buckeye Lake ‘94 was my last Dead show and I hopped on over to the Phish train after that. Happy I missed the ugliness of Deer Creek the following year. When I heard of Jerry’s passing I was sad, but not terribly surprised, and I had already moved on. So here’s another another anniversary show which I’ve posted before in the Phish thread but I’ll post it here in case anyone is curious. The audio is excellent. Give it a little time for the video to kick in. It’s sometimes choppy but mostly it’s a pretty solid amateur video. If you watch the whole thing and if you haven’t seen my post about it in the Phish thread, there’s a big surprise partway through, before the end of the first set.- Jaws 50th

France was right.- Favorite oysters
Nailed the blue points. I’ve heard of misty points. Not the others. I’m guessing most of the oysters I’ve had were Wellfleets but I have no way of knowing for sure.- Favorite oysters
Which are which? I’ve seen this a lot on r/seafood where people will post a pic of a spread of oysters and say what all oysters they have. I have no idea which are which and it does me no good to know what oysters they have if I can’t tell one from another. My only guess is that the blue points are the four on the bottom row of the pic on the left and the one farthest to the right on the row above that. Is that correct?- Ohio State sexual abuse documentary....Surviving Ohio State
