@tasket Definitely a possibility. In my more serious analysis I think there's a significant chance that its main intent is to enable both sides to disengage from a catastrophic war while credibly claiming victory to their hardcore supporters at home.

The problem is that Trump's hardcore supporters at home AREN'T A COHERENT IDEOLOGY, so back here that has to filter through the #MAGAts' basket of deplorables WHO ARE NAZIS, and hate Israel for being Jewish, and its basket of deplorables WHO ARE ISOLATIONISTS, and happy to watch the rest of world burn--all in a country having midterm elections, whose OVERALL political mood is swinging away from #IsraelAtWarCrimes and toward #JusticeForPalestine.

Bizarrely, I think this is going to result in Trump throwing #KingBibiAntipas under the bus to try to save himself this fall, and Israel somewhat taking it on the chin from both political wings--although the #MAGAts' basket of deplorables who are #Talibangelical 'Christians' will certainly cushion the blow as much as they can--given than many of them are ALSO rabid antisemites, who only support Israel as instrumental in bringing about their precious apocalypse, and don't actually LIKE JEWS at all.

From the article: "Scarborough, in an interview with The Texas Tribune, clarified that he thought Hussein should leave the country: 'If you’re going to embrace the values and the teachings that you’re advocating for, there’s no place in America for you. That’s not assimilation. That’s taking over.'"

I'VE embraced those values and teachings--which are remarkably consistent with those of the Biblical Christ, btw--but I'm sure Scarborough wouldn't believe that my three decades of Top Secret clearance and service to the United States have earned ME a place in America, EITHER.

In HIS world, only #Talibangelical CHRISTIANS have the right to take over, against the will of the majority of 'We, the People,' to enforce THEIR version of God's law through the coercive power of man's state. #hypocrisy

A Muslim Texan sought to find his place in the party at the state GOP convention. He left in tears.

Muslim delegates and attendees hoping to participate in the state Republican convention were shunned and rejected by members as they espoused themes of party unity ahead of the November election.

Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees.

In sharp contrast to the Trump administration’s calls for Christian prayers for the war effort, Pope Leo XIV says military domination is “entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.”

Chancellor #AgolfShitler further announced that this Supreme Council of Techbros will replace the United States Senate, alongside the Assembly of Deplorables, as the Legislative Branch of the U.S. #TurdReich.

* An independent Guardian Council of #Talibangelical clergy will be required to approve all candidates for either body.

Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg among tech leaders appointed to White House advisory council

The Trump administration has named Silicon Valley leaders including Jensen Huang, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg and Marc Andreessen to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Seriously, of course, the lesson here is that waging war against American cities to create a dictatorial white theocratic ethnostate IS EXACTLY WHAT #MAGAts SIGNED UP FOR.

They thought they were signing up TO TAKE DOWN the decades-long ring of rich & powerful child-rapists.

To reach the sane patriotic Americans, sure, highlight the #Talibangelical death cult waging war against American cities to create a dictatorial white theocratic ethnostate.

To reach the bored, disengaged voters who just aren't gonna get energized for the duopoly's biennial rematch between the pro-oligarch party that hates democracy & diversity and the pro-oligarch party that LIKES democracy & diversity, highlight how your policy prescriptions will actually make life easier for NATURAL persons (a.k.a., PEOPLE) instead of ARTIFICIAL ones (a.k.a., corporations).

But if you want to deradicalize any #MAGAts, you've got to hunt down and exploit the internal contradictions riddling the MAGA movement. The ones who got energized by PizzaGate are gonna be REALLY PISSED when they discover it was run outta #EpsteinVersailles starring #MarieDontoinette and Matt #PizzaGaetz. The ones who got energized by the prospect of a Christofascist Gilead can be turned against the ones who are atheistic, nihilistic militant disciples of Mencius Moldbug. The white supremacists can be played against Reichsleiter Vance, for being a "race traitor." The nazis and antisemites can be turned against Jared Kushner, the rabid Zionist. And since they're conspiracy nuts, they're PARANOID AS HELL: they will ALL turn on each other if we can spotlight each "basket of deplorables" as the Enemy Within, working at odds to the hateful agenda of one or more of the others. Know your enemy as you know yourself.

THEN USE IT TO DIVIDE THEM, like we divided the leaders of ISIS. And best of all? IT'S ALL TRUE. #SunTzu #ArtOfWar #narrative

For 5% of the American population, waging war against American cities to create a dictatorial white theocratic ethnostate was not too far, but being a core part of a decades-long ring of child-rapists was too far. So that's nice. One wonders what it will take for the next 5% to fall away. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

As a (retired) senior U.S. intelligence leader who spent the year before this article desperately trying to convince #GenocideJoe and the #BlinkenIdiot that "Israel right or wrong" had ceased to be a viable lens for U.S. Middle East policy at the end of the Cold War (if indeed it had EVER been), reading this stirred up a lot of old frustrations & anguish.

I had warned repeatedly that modern Zionism SINCE ITS BEGINNING had been an ideology of #EthnicCleansing--and that greenlighting #IsraelAtWarCrimes' genocidal overreach would only prove to Hamas that their VASTLY greater adherence (than our "civilized" ally) since before the *2014* Gaza War to the norms of the Law of Armed Conflict had been a wasted effort...without making Israelis one bit safer than all their decades of walls & securitization had on 7 October.

I cautioned that unlike OUR generation, rising generations of Americans had NEVER KNOWN the Jewish State™ that had helped Muslims & Christians turn back the tide of godless Communism--only the one that had been committing livestreamed #genocide and #CrimesAgainstHumanity for their entire lives--and that our continued support of #KingBibiAntipas in the face of such ethnosupremacist atrocities would alienate them in ways that would risk handing OUR OWN country back to the EVEN MORE murderous 'Christian' Zionism of the #Donjjal and his #Talibangelical minions like Commander Mike "Small" Johnson (R-Gilead).

And here we are, as the new POTUS seeks to build his fantasy of a Nobel Peace Prize ON THE PEACE OF THE GRAVE, in an ethnically cleansed, recolonized Palestine protected by the guns of those who'll turn a blind eye.

The moral of the story? We're LONG past time, across the Anglosphere and Europe, to get our politics out from under the ossified worldviews of octogenarian white guys who can't drag their thinking into the 21st Century, and turn them over to the generations who are going to have to LIVE in it.

And we're long past the time to find a measure of humility in our missteps & moral failures of the last quarter-century, and SIT THE HELL DOWN to allow the VICTIMS of our centuries of colonial exploitation to rise and lead, subservient to NO superpower, East OR West.

May our Creator guide us to what is better. 🤲

Biden Discussed Potential Israeli War Crimes In Gaza. He Kicked The Can To Trump.

New intelligence shocked officials in late 2024, spurring heightened fear of U.S. liability, HuffPost has learned. The period saw Secretary of State Antony Blinken ask if Israel’s actions constituted “ethnic cleansing."

@AlexanderVI
Yes. It allows them to circumvent the ‘Separation of Church and State’ as described in the constitution! It paves the way for the #TalibAngelical wet dream of a totally Christian state. Like Iran but for White Guys!…
The irony of this is that it would mark the realization of a major tenet of the eschatology of his #Talibangelical supporters: that in the End Times the Catholic Church would be corrupted, and serve the Antichrist. 😅
I hope #RaymondLeoBurke is never elected #Pope. The last thing the world needs is an old-scool American #conservative #Christian #Talibangelical as head of the #Vatican
#MAGA #FAFO goes into full force w/tariffs!
