“It’s been 25 years since 9/11, and did you know Abdul is Arab?”

These are a sample of the objectionable 9/11 takes he’s had

JD says you shouldnt think about fellow Americans like that, although of course by fellow Americans he means only the good ones, the one who he thinks are worthy of being American

Something’s missing from that story.

You may not want to know what that is.

Pew, Pew and Barney Magrew wouldn’t be happy

We are getting some real 9/11 style anti Arab/Muslim racism back into our politics recently. This outrageous comment by someone pursuing high office wont even touch the radar of outlets obsessed about an influencer who is so terrible they have to make up positions he has allegedly taken

The argument I have had with my Cuban friends so often is that it was not just socialism they ran away from, but authoritarianism. And by focusing only on the former part of that they were getting into bed with authoritarians here they would soon too find themselves on the wrong side of as well.

Panic as nukes feared to be ‘on the table now’ after ‘disgusting’ Trump threat

Story by Erik De La Garza - Raw Story

President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to effectively destroy Iran set off alarm Tuesday, with one foreign-policy analyst warning that the president appeared to be signaling that nuclear weapons were “on the table now.”

Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States was striking Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for what he called Iran’s failed attempt to add sea mines to the waterway and its launch of eight missiles toward a U.S. military base in Jordan.

Trump went even further in a later phone call with Fox News, where he warned that Iran would be hit “much harder” if it retaliated - and even “wiped out as a country” if the conflict continued.

The escalated rhetoric sparked swift fury online, with critics accusing Trump of going too far by threatening the destruction of an entire country.

“WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!” sanctions expert Brett Erickson wrote Tuesday on X. “Throughout this entire war, I have been incredibly skeptical of any claims that President Trump is so much as DISCUSSING the use of nuclear weapons. “This reads to me clear as day that they are on the table now.

“Disgusting,” he added.

Liberal political commentator Vince Wilson pointed his blame at Capitol Hill.

“These spineless Republicans in Congress are enabling this,” he posted.

Economist and policy researcher Sky Marchini saw the message as “Trump’s Final Warning,” while another critic, Geoff Wolf, asked: “So who in Trump’s orbit profited on this one today?”

Freelance journalist Manny Otiko had his own take: “Trump threatens to wipe out an entire country, and he calls them crazy?”

Ah well we had a good run…

If USA uses nuclear weapons on Iran, Russia will on Ukraine and so on and so on.

MAD indeed.
