I am watching a documentary on the 1920 rise of the KKK in Portland Oregon.

Their platform premonitorily matches MAGA's Project 2025 plan to Make America Great Again.

Why isn't this being discussed? Why does your party believe that an extremist far right authoritarian agenda is needed for this country?

A quick recap, Project 2025 places the "ENTIRE Executive Branch under direct presidential control eliminating the independence of the FBI, FCC, and FTC as well as many other federal agencies". Are you OK with firing current career civil servants and replacing them with yes men and women?

You KNOW that this is exactly what dictators do to establish absolute autocratic power.

You stood up against tyranny while serving in the Army so why are you suddenly a hero for hate?

WHY are you aligning yourself with a lying, narcissistic, 2 time impeached, 34 federally indicted rapist? Are you OK with Don "the con" calling service members like us suckers and loosers for dedicating a portion of our lives to the security of our Country? Did you forget that he mocked John McCain war injury and Gold Star families yet you STILL support this loser?

What does the so-called Project 2025 have to do with Israel?

Dear James,

Why do you insist on applying the similar short framing W-like-mission-accomplished mindset bullshit to Israel Palestine?

You’re not giving updates, so much as parroting AIPAC talking points.

Ever consider how off based and uninformed your statement pertaining to “before significant combat operations” really is? Especially as you never provide balance in framework previous to 7 October, 2024. It’s the same myopic pertinence given to 9-11, and how Merica became entrenched in Afghanistan for generations. Or how the foundations for building ISIS began with the invasion of Iraq. It’s always more convenient to forget history. Right? Or to ignore the history of Iran, relying only on autocratic- -unitary-executive-based-media swill and faith-based intelligence to once again practice your favorite art of conflation. This time conflating both Israel’s, Khomeni and US strategic narcissism, all in order to conveniently ignore the slaughter of Palestinians. Even to the point of not lending an outsiders view the possible reason for delay in swapping out carrier groups could possibly be to pursue other venues within the DIME paradigm; not just the fucking hammer and nail which, with each passing day continues to prove counter-fucking-productive! Just as two Merican wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ended up being. Persian oil? Reminds us again what -45 did to alleviate the issue? Not that I am a fan of how Biden handles it either, but head or gut, you know?

I know you and I were too busy to stop in Israel on the way to Iraq, which has been another misguided US gift to misguided Israeli policy in dealing with Palestine, but look into some informed research done by Ariel Sharon's senior adviser Dov Weissglass, which clearly exposes even Sharon had no intentions of ever pursuing peace through his Disengagement with Gaza plan. Even after kicking out Israeli settlers, while simultaneously setting conditions for Hamas to envelope Palestinians as convenient conflation for IDF significant combat operations in…2005/2006. Twenty years ago! That’s a pretty long time “before”. So maybe that’s what yours and AIPACs definition of “before” should include. But it doesn’t, because that significantly reduces your argument for those of us that can read and write, understand history and don’t harbor foolish notions of believing the slightest margins in introducing autocracy can be good or controlled. In Israel or in Merica. For either the IDF or Hamas.

Then again, ostensibly, these college students you mock are better consumers of history than you appear to be. And that’s tough for me to say, as younger people tend to give me a fucking migraine. But they are more right than wrong, which is more than I can say for any Winnie the Coup political appointees.

It’s my intent, along with the other half of this country to make sure your unhealthy autocratic fiction goes back and stays in both the annals and anals of 4 a.m. am radio, right where it fucking belongs. Where it used to be.

That, would make America great again.

Using big words does not mean your comments are meaningful. Not sure why you feel the need commentary on my pieces but have at it.

Mocking vocabulary, “big words” as a response is just as meaningless as rubber, rubber glue. Especially when you know what I am saying is true…fuck meaningful.

Especially in a country where ego and false equivalence enables half of us to not see the difference between reflexive and institutional lying.

Each passing day where you allow your partisan framing to lead thought only contributes to the narcissistic isolation that is going to eventually allow tyranny and fascism to prevail. It’s sad that you condone that, and think that it is okay. It makes me feel very sorry for you, especially since you know better.

It’s not as if I haven’t agreed with you before by the way on other issues, but your Middle East perception is anorexic.

That’s why I “commentate”.
