second: Trump’s Truth Social posts are driving the news cycle — and raising alarms. From attacks on the pope and an AI image of himself as Jesus, the president’s posts have drawn unusually broad criticism. The most disturbing post came last week when he threatened to wipe out Iran, writing, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Let’s not gloss over this. The president of the United States threatened genocide. And that is what passed as a normal Tuesday-morning update from the Trump White House: a warning of mass destruction and what international law would define as war crimes.

| second: The US is going to have to have a reckoning for its open embrace of war crimes. Trump boasted to Fox News, “We could take out every one of their bridges in one hour. We could take out every one of their power plants in one hour,” if he wanted. Destroying all power plants would cause massive civilian casualties of the kind Putin can only dream about. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 22:03 |
| second: When the US and Israel are killing Iranian civilians at a higher rate that Vladimir Putin was killing Ukrainian civilians in 2025, that requires some serious acknowledgement and reflection. This casualty toll has hurt the one actual thing that might have made the campaign worthwhile—regime change. It must be hard for the Iranians to believe that the US actually wants to help them free themselves when civilians are being killed like this. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 21:54 |
| second: At a minimum the US and Israel in six weeks have killed almost three times as many Iranian civilians in their long-range strike campaign as Russia has killed Ukrainian civilians in their long-range strike campaign in all of 2025. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 20:40 |
| second: 6ixStringJack wrote: "Speaking of political theater, look at how Second is pretending that he's all religious." The Pope knows how a person's life is weighed. Pope Leo XIV said that Trump is unchristian. Standing on the official scales, Trump is obese and evil while JD Vance is both a lightweight and a fool to be claiming he is more Catholic than the Pope. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 17:51 |

second: Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted.… The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. —Frederick Douglass, 1857 - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 17:26 |
| second: The self-dealing during Trump I was, in fact, unprecedented in American history. Recall how lobbyists and foreign potentates booked pricey rooms in Trump’s Washington hotel? But under Trump II blatant corruption has run wild at the highest levels of government, on a scale like nobody has ever seen before. Trump and his family have used his office to extract billions in de facto graft, through crypto deals with petro-state autocrats, investments in prediction markets and defense contractors, making sweetheart foreign real estate deals that line up with favorable tariff treatment, soliciting hundreds of millions for Trump vanity projects. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 16:51 |
| second: Want to shift America towards safe, clean renewable energy? Think again, because petrostate oligarchs have poured $500 million into Trump’s World Liberty coin. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 16:48 |
| second: Want to rein in the pernicious effects of prediction markets. I don’t think so, because the Trump family invests in Polymarket. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 16:48 |
| second: Want to regulate crypto and stop its use as a vehicle for crime? Well, um, no, because the Trump family has amassed billions from their crypto holdings. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 16:47 |
| second: Want to stop a data center in your community and impose common-sense controls on AI? Well, that’s a non-starter because the Trump family has invested in data centers and in AI firms. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 16:46 |
| 6ixStringJack: Just another thing for lemmings to post TDS rage-bait in lieu of actually doing anything to make the country or even their own lives better. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 12:56 |
| 6ixStringJack: Nothing but a bunch of disingenuousity by all parties concerned and nobody with a 3 digit IQ is taking any of it seriously. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 12:53 |
|
6ixStringJack: Yeah... Trump was sarcastically saying "Praise be Allah!" in several of his Truth Social posts and may have even said it IRL too (I don't know because I don't listen to clips of him talking everyday like those two do). The leader of Iran would sooner see all Christians dead than befriend the Pope. But our media is running defense for Iranian leaders and the Pope came out and did the same, so the Iranian leaders knew it would be good business for them to say something in support of the Pope that they'd love to see dead, knowing that our media would print it and then Ted and Second would go around posting it everywhere.

| Brenda: Even an innocent question can be twisted. Answer what someone said about your question with facts and they ignore what you said. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 12:03 |
| Brenda: Ah, yes. Political theater. That I can ignore because there is too much of it around and the nastiness that comes with it. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 12:02 |
| Brenda: Oh, okay. I don't remember when the smart phones came out. I've said for the last few years I hate cell phones. I've had people trying to get me to get one but I won't. I think they are stupid. Humans have done quite well for thousands of years without being contact 24/7. Though I am sure that people thought that originally about the telephone. But then they didn't have screens and could connect you with everything. Cells are useful for the blind and for the deaf. But other than that no. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 11:59 |
| 6ixStringJack: Speaking of political theater, look at how Second is pretending that he's all religious. It appears that religion is the basis of every post he makes right now. He doesn't mean any of that either since he's a godless monster. He just loves anything that gives him another excuse to lay judgement on everybody else but himself. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 09:55 |
| 6ixStringJack: The proliferation of the "Smart" phone happened in 2012, Brenda. Some say that the world didn't end in 2012, but we changed timelines instead. That's what all the Mandella Effect crazies say, anyway. I don't believe them about that, but I think the world started to go to shit right around that time. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 09:52 |
| 6ixStringJack: Neither of them meant it, Brenda. Trump wasn't praising Allah. The leader of Iran wasn't defending the pope. It's all just political theater, because in the 2020's that is all anything is anymore. Eventually everyone will tune out and we'll go back to how things were in the 90's. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 09:50 |
| Brenda: Something THG posted about the Iranian president defending the pope. That just hit me as weird. What happened in 2012? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 09:46 |
| second: It’s hard to believe that Iran is going to keep negotiating with Trump if two other times Iran was attacked in the midst of negotiations. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 09:11 |
| second: Catholic Convert JD Vance Mansplains Theology to the Pope. The vice president appears to have a case of Pope Derangement Syndrome. JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism at the age of 35, has taken it upon himself to school the Vicar of Christ on Catholic theology. “I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 08:24 |
| 6ixStringJack: Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating is just fine. Just like it always is. You lose because you cherry pick polls. It's why you can't believe the results when reality comes knocking and you disappear for 3 weeks instead of coming here and taking your lumps. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 07:50 |
| 6ixStringJack: Democrats threw him under the bus, then they gave you Harris without making her primary. Something even Black Lives Matter made a huge stink about after the fact. How'd that work out for you? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 07:49 |
| THG: Let me remind you Gilligan; Biden was going to lose so he pulled out. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 07:28 |

6ixStringJack: I think we've been living in the Twilight Zone since around 2012, Brenda. What makes you say this today?

| second: Trump’s Iran Blockade Not Working as Multiple Ships Pass Through [go to link] Ignoring Trump's more and more unhinged orders, did the US Navy refuse to sink fully load Ultra Large Crude Carriers because that is an international crime? Possibly the Admiral told some little white lies to Trump who will not understand what is going on for days, but when he does figure it out, Trump will be really, really mad. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 05:10 |

| Brenda: Stupid question. Has the world entered the Twilight Zone? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 03:15 |
| second: The US President is praising Allah and the President of Iran is defending the Pope. Welcome to 2026. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.15 01:10 |
| 6ixStringJack: Cool. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 22:57 |
| THG: Because of cuts to USAID, about 780 thousand people have needlessly died; mostly children. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 19:49 |
| THG: If only we still had the Obama Iran agreement. The one where we had inspectors in country monitoring what the Iranians were doing. Too bad Trump tore it up as soon as he started his frist term; aye? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 19:15 |
|
second: Trump’s decision to counter Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by blockading the Strait of Hormuz surely adds to the perception that relying on U.S. oil and LNG isn’t safe. Who can guarantee that an erratic America won’t try to weaponize other countries’ dependence on U.S. energy? [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 17:50 |
| 6ixStringJack: And definitely fuck Sean Hannity. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 05:46 |
| 6ixStringJack: What now? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 05:46 |
| 6ixStringJack: Fuck Catholicism. Fuck Religion. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 05:46 |
| 6ixStringJack: Fuck the pope. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 05:45 |
| second: It is silly how Trump supporters can misunderstand simple ideas. Sean Hannity questions the Pope’s knowledge of the Bible. The same Sean Hannity who thinks that Trump is a devout Christian and a Bible scholar questions whether or not Pope Leo has read the Bible. Hannity: “He [Pope Leo] doesn't want any conflict anywhere, and he was talking about violence. And I'm like, have you even read the Bible?” For 6ixStringJoker: Hannity seeks a Biblical justification for Trump's war-making. But there is none. Not to worry! Hannity makes one for Trump from hot air, his rhetorical sophistry beating the Pope to death, metaphorically speaking. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 04:34 |
|
second: The Parable of the President - Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV reveals that to him, religion is about power, not morality. Since surviving an assassination attempt in 2024, Trump has sounded more overtly religious, and has publicly mused about his chances to get into heaven. But his rhetoric has not been matched by any clear change in behavior, quest for absolution for past sins, or increased attendance at church. Matters of peace, poverty, and privilege do not seem front of mind: After briefly portraying himself as a peacemaker in pursuit of the Nobel Prize, Trump has now embraced military adventure; he has shrugged at economic tumult; and he has brushed aside faith leaders’ concerns about his immigration enforcement. Trump well understands the iconographic and organizational power of Christianity, but he seems to reject the idea that it should create any constraints on him.

| 6ixStringJack: Trump basically is still Democrat. You went so far to the looney fucking left, Theodore that everybody looks right wing to you. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 02:51 |
| 6ixStringJack: Hard to recover drugs when you blew up the boats. Whoops! - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 02:50 |
| second: Viktor Orbán’s loss in yesterday’s election is just as much a defeat for Donald Trump and his vice president, J. D. Vance, as it is for the now-toppled Hungarian strongman. Seldom have American leaders intervened so overtly in a foreign election, and seldom has their preferred candidate fared so badly. Trump has a way of distancing himself from people who disappoint him. Last night, when reporters asked him about the outcome in Hungary, he turned and walked away. But having tied himself so tightly to Orbán, he may find it unusually difficult to dissociate himself from the prime minister’s downfall. Orbán turned Hungary into a testing ground for practices that Trump is now implementing in America, including the expansion of executive power and the assault on universities and other elements of civil society.

| second: U.S. military has killed at least 168 people in 50 boat attacks targeting alleged drug traffickers, with no public evidence of narcotics recovered. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 00:35 |
| second: Trump post appearing to depict himself as Jesus Christ sparks backlash from religious right. Evangelical and Catholic allies call the post blasphemous and urge its removal in a rare public break from a base that has largely stood by Trump. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.14 00:06 |
| THG: And now Ukraine gets it's 90 billion dollar loan. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.13 19:48 |
| THG: Because Jack is ignorant, he doesn't know that Orban started out left of center. Even Trump was a democrat before he went republican. Before he went dictator. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.13 19:43 |
