So, today I learned that ActBlue got its claws into my almost-90-years-old mother. They convinced her to put her debit card on file (they prefer debit cards because those transactions cannot be reversed). And then... endless "donate NOW to fight Drumpf" emails flooding her inbox every day. She would nod, think "oh sure, I have money," and click "donate"... every single time. Plus periodic $500 "donations" that they just took out of her account without notice every few days. $17,000 drained out of her account in TEN DAYS. And when it was empty they started badgering her for another card! Which finally got her to realize something might be wrong, talk to her bank, and cancel the debit card. I had to give her a bunch of money so the checks she wrote the IRS earlier this week for her 2025 income taxes wouldn't bounce.

So now we've gone from the already-absurd "tens of thousands" to "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND"... Sigh. The claim that Iran "slaughtered tens of thousands" or "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND" has always been very obviously sensationalist source-free nonsense. Anyone who has studied the history of war and totalitarian regimes knows this. Actual crackdowns, even on a large and brutal scale, simply do not kill anywhere close to that many people because once the machine-guns come out, almost everyone immediately scatters and flees. Shooting down running people is actually a lot harder in real life than in Hollywood movies. Only a small fraction actually get hit. As a point of comparison: The Hungarian uprising in 1956, which engaged in actual armed resistance rather than mere protests and which the USSR ruthlessly crushed over several weeks with soldiers and tanks, only killed about 3,000-4,000 people. Tienamen Square, with the Chinese army firing on a huge gathering of unarmed protesters, killed several hundred, perhaps a thousand at most. (Many more were arrested and Gulag'd later, of course.) So the real number of Iranian dead is almost certainly measured in thousands, not tens of thousands. Indeed, even HRANA, a US-based Iranian expat org, only claims to have "confirmed" 7,000 deaths. The real number is more likely to be lower, though probably not as low as the roughly 3,000 officially admitted by the Iranian government. Why exaggerate and sensationalize this so much? Well, probably because the reality, grisly and cruel though it is, isn't sufficiently shocking to justify a fanatical war-to-the-knife viewpoint on the Iranian conflict.

LOL He's so bitter. Everything he "accomplished" is being dismantled and replaced.

Dead-on. Well said, Russell.

Woah.

The phrasing here is a tell. I wonder if they even realize it?

The troon-outs are epic. Just amazing lunacy.

Erickson playing his usual sabotage games on behalf of the corrupt establishment. Predictable as the sunrise.

There are very good reasons why a GOP that listens to emotionally-incontinent overgrown children like this is being forced to give way to the MAGA GOP.

All the “OMG muh gas prices” clowns kept pretending Trump was manipulating oil prices by talking about the negotiations. Turns out, he was manipulating oil prices by… keeping Hormuz open. LOL

Is this filter-pic Retard Right grifter actually dumb enough to think Massie really has a "list of names"?
