6ixStringJack: So you're just going to continue to spiral then, huh? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 19:59
second: The newest head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, has gone out of his way to point out how anti-Christian Trump is. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 19:21

second: “I don’t need international law,” Trump told The New York Times in January. Asked if there were any limits on his powers, he said, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” If governments of the Western World submit to the conscience of Donald Trump, then I would advise them to begin writing their obituary.

second: Trump voters would not have voted for him if they cared about what is illegal in life. If Trump carries out war crimes with impunity, the West will have lost whatever moral authority remains in its grasp. The Geneva conventions, the laws of armed conflict, and the architecture of rules designed to spare civilians from the worst of war are symbolic of all that we stand for in the West — of how democracy restrains our inner demons. But those principles are not self-enforcing. They’ve endured because Western nations, led by the United States, treated them as binding on themselves first. The moment America becomes the country that bombs desalination plants and calls it diplomacy, we have not merely broken a rule, we have announced the rules are dead.

6ixStringJack: Why do you insist on clogging the tags up with your TDS and making your mental problems everyone else's problems? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 11:33
6ixStringJack: "War crime" according to who? The people who want America dead, or the people who just fuck us over after we bleed for them? Did you not get the memo yet? The world you thought you were living in 2 years ago is dead and never coming back. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 11:31
6ixStringJack: "6ixStringJack wrote about splitting hairs." Oh yeah? How so? Trump said something which you don't approve of, and I said I VERY MUCH APPROVE OF IT. How is this splitting hairs? Do you even know what splitting hairs means? - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 11:30
second: "6ixStringJack wrote about splitting hairs." It should come as a surprise to no one that the leader of the free world might be actively considering — and perhaps eager to carry out — direct attacks on civilians or civilian infrastructure in Iran. This is how he thinks. This is what he does. And these days, he’s got an obliging coterie of staff willing to indulge those brutish impulses. You needn’t be a law of war expert to render judgement on Trump’s threat this week. If he wants to bomb power plants and clean-water facilities, seemingly to punish the Iranians as a way to get leverage over the regime, it’s obviously immoral. But there’s also a term in international law for deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure to inflict suffering on a population. That word is “war crime”.

6ixStringJack: It's not as if this would happen en masse. Once word got out that it happened to a few people, we'll never have an illegal trying to enter our borders again as long as we don't revert to being pussies like you. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 09:41
6ixStringJack: I agree. Shoot them in the kneecaps. It's what John Conner would have wanted. Just make sure we don't take them in and put them in our hospitals after the fact. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 09:40
second: "6ixStringJack wrote: Shut up, loser." We were in the Oval Office for what was supposed to be a short chat about opioids getting smuggled across the border, and Trump unspooled again. Red-faced and clearly frustrated, he complained that the troops at the border were ineffective because they couldn’t use deadly force. Reminded that he couldn’t kill unarmed civilians, Trump pitched another approach.
“Then shoot them in the legs if you have to!”
His outburst silenced the room.
By the look on his face — and the looks on ours — Trump hardly needed to be told what we thought. It wasn’t the last time the topic came up, and the President seemed aware he was playing with fire. At one point, he eyed me on the couch, jotting down a meeting summary.
“I don’t want any f**king notes,” he snapped. “Stop taking notes.”
I dutifully obliged and closed my notebook. Of course he didn’t want any documentation. He didn’t want essays like this to be written in the future. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 09:35
6ixStringJack: Shut up, loser. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 09:30
6ixStringJack: Shut up, loser. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 09:30
second: "6ixStringJack wrote: You're such a loser, dude." 6ix knows not what is legal, but neither does Trump. Trump proposed, on more than one occasion, having authorities fire upon the migrants. What better way to deter them than to kill some of them? When told that using deadly force against unarmed civilians was illegal, Trump bristled, as if we were weak-willed. We scrambled to get in touch with the Pentagon to have them remind Trump about the rules of engagement and that shooting civilians, whether they were clutching stones in their hands or not, would be unlawful.

6ixStringJack: You're such a loser, dude. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 07:57
second: In private, Trump has plans for unspeakable violence. I know because he told me.
There’s a particular kind of horror that comes from watching a powerful man describe — in clinical detail — how he wants to hurt innocent people. - Miles Taylor, Former chief of staff of the US Department of Homeland Security, April 03, 2026 The only thing standing between his fantasy and its execution is a room full of aides, scrambling to remind him what is illegal and what is not. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 06:35
second: Contrary to what President Trump has said to justify his decision, the intelligence showed that the Iranian regime was not preparing to use a nuclear weapon; it did not have ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States; and in response to a U.S. military attack, Iran was likely to strike at neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf and try to close the Strait of Hormuz, precipitating a global economic crisis. All of this was known before the war and presented to President Trump. The U.S. intelligence community is neither designed nor equipped to restrain a president who is moved by impulse, emotion, and his own feelings. It can only provide him with information. When the president disregards what he’s told, or distorts it, that failure is his alone. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 05:52
6ixStringJack: If you think for one second Iran wouldn't be knocking out every power station in America if they had the means to do it, you're a goddamned idiot. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 05:38
6ixStringJack: Oh shut the fuck up. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 05:37
second: Trump’s aides have been telling him Iran’s civilian infrastructure is a legitimate wartime target, despite the understanding among experts that such attacks are illegal. A White House official added that destroying electric plants could foment civil unrest, which would in turn make it more difficult to produce a nuclear weapon.

Ryan Goodman of Just Security commented: “That would be an F on a bar exam.” He observed, “This isn’t legal analysis. It’s idiocy.” [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.06 02:05
6ixStringJack: Love it! - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 21:34
second: Trump to Iran: "Open the Fuckin' Strait" or face bombing Tuesday

[go to link] Are you getting the feeling that Trump is mentally unraveling? Maybe this Trump quote on Sunday will convince you: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 21:01
second: Trump requests an additional $500 billion dollars for the Pentagon's annual budget and 6ixStringJoker's flippancy is "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." I believe 6ixStringJoker might not be aware of how much money half trillion dollars per year is nor is he aware of how to win a war with Iran. Winning in Iran is NOT about destroying maternity hospitals, kindergartens, and power plants. The USA did that in Vietnam but it didn't work for Nixon and won't for Trump. By the way, 6ix, Vietnam is still around and very much Communist, the very reason the USA attacked in the 1960's. If Trump wants to change Vietnam's government like he is trying to change Iran's, bombing it back to the Stone Age is NOT the tactic to use. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 20:24
6ixStringJack: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 19:46
second: President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are stuck in the logic of escalation, according to which the feeling of defeat today can be reversed by doing the first thing that comes to mind tomorrow. Trump is surrounded by people who are making money from the war; each day of war strengthens a warmongering lobby with personal access to the president. Trump wants to increase the defense budget by nearly 50% without any review of what the money is for; this is strategic nonsense, and has to be understood as a payoff [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 18:10
6ixStringJack: Go donate some money and save some kids then if you give a shit, Ted. You don't really give a shit, so you won't. So you might as well not say anything at all. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.05 05:22

second: Trump Is Robbing You to Pay for His Dumb War. Not content with launching a costly and disastrous war on Iran, Trump has unveiled a new plan to pay for it by further slashing domestic programs that keep Americans economically afloat. His new 2027 budget document is effectively a political suicide note. With his war on Iran, Donald Trump has already landed a quadruple axel of political self-destruction: notching the most unpopular US war effort in modern history, splitting his own political coalition, seeing his approval rating dip below Joe Biden’s, and, for the first time, falling underwater with white working-class voters. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 22:04
second: Someone in the White House seems to have put the word out: Stop talking about a free and prosperous Iran, and start talking about pulverizing Iran until you can sift the rubble through a tennis racket. On Wednesday, Donald Trump vowed to bomb Iranian targets hard enough to send them “back to the Stone Ages where they belong.” Pete Hegseth also tweeted “back to the stone age.” The messaging shift over the past couple of weeks reflects a change in plans, after Iran’s resistance proved more vigorous than expected. This mismatch—with America measuring its success by its destruction of Iran’s capabilities, and Iran measuring its success by its stubborn will to fight—has left Trump sounding frustrated. How badly must he devastate the Iranian military before he is allowed to declare victory? [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 21:00
THG: Doesn't add up—diesel surged 45% and crushed 900,000 American truckers - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 16:08
6ixStringJack: That's a good one. I like that. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 10:47
second: 6ixStringJoker, if you stand in front of a mirror and whisper “Dumb-ass” 3 times you will see yourself. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 09:07
6ixStringJack: No. I mean you. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 04:40
THG: Thank Trump - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 03:59

THG: 'Sends shivers down your spine': Farmers sound alarm as fertilizer prices surge 30%, and it could hit wallets far beyond the fields next. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 02:45
second: White House budget chief Russell Vought requested $1.5 trillion in defense spending, a roughly 42 percent increase from 2026 funding levels. It comes as the U.S. war with Iran stretches to five weeks with no clear end in sight. Republicans have swiftly embraced Trump’s proposal, framing it as a fulfillment of key campaign promises. To pay for the spending increase, they propose cutting non-defense spending, stuff like Medicaid. And why not? Medicaid recipients do not control the Strait of Hormuz. Yes, deluded Trumptards are certain of their convictions and evil ones are convinced of their rectitude. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.04 00:50
THG: The government isn't funding these programs, the taxpayers are. And we want them. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 20:05
THG: Trump and the republicans have been saying forever, as they tried to repeal the ACA that they would offer something much better. The country cried bullshit. Trump just said Medicare, Medicaid childcare and the rest are a scam and the government should not be footing the bill for any of them. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 20:04

second: BREAKING: Marco Rubio: “Just because you're born on US soil doesn't make you a citizen.
Your parents must be US citizens."
Marco Rubio was born to Cuban immigrants. His parents were not US citizens at the time of his birth.
Pack your bags, Marco. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 16:07
second: The Pentagon is ordering prefab bunkers shipped to the Gulf of Arabia because multiple American bases are all but uninhabitable: [go to link] Meanwhile, the troops have been relocated to hotels and office buildings, mixing military personnel with civilians in ways that may violate the Pentagon's own Law of War Manual and the Geneva Conventions. Iran is already targeting those hotels. That is what winning looks like to this commander in chief. [go to link] - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 09:33

Read what Trump said about paying for war and NOT paying for healthcare: [go to link] Ask yourself if Trump would lie to you in order to lower his income taxes. I know he would. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 09:28
6ixStringJack: Trump never said people can't have healthcare or child care. - http://www.fireflyfans.net 04.03 06:15
second: President Donald Trump on Wednesday said it’s “not possible” for the federal government to fund Medicare, Medicaid and child care costs, arguing that it should be up to the states to “take care” of those programs while the federal government focuses on military spending.
