The DUmpster / Re: I have been walking around with a deep sadness today
« Last post by SVPete on April 08, 2026, 08:10:34 AM »
A child of refugees who fled murderous oppression should understand that Trump is trying to take down Iran's "civilization"-of-oppression and free Iran's people. This grandson of refugees - my Dad's parents were Volga Germans who fled Russia before the Revolution - gets it. They did well in the US, no whining from me on that angle.

Unlike gopiscrap, I'm not self-blinded by Trump-Hatred. Had LIEden or OhBummer! done this instead of placating the Mullahcrats, trying to buy peace, and thereby giving them time to develop nuclear weapons*, I would give them credit for doing something very right.

BTW, in 2008-2009, there was a popular uprising in Iran. OhBummer! could have supported them, but instead betrayed them. Could the Mullahcrats have been deposed? Who knows, but OhBummer! did not even try.

* Remember when Israel hacked Iran's centrifuge network in 2009, causing them to spin out of control and self-destruct? Might that have set back Iran's timing enough that Iran didn't make nuclear weapons during LIEden's MalAdministration? :shrug: Or forced Israel to act preemptively against Iran without the support of LIEden's Israel-hating minions?

I have been walking around with a deep sadness today

I just can't shake it. As the child of a refugee and an immigrant myself, I have suffered first hand what war does to both the people fighting it and their families. We never should have gotten to this point. What the **** is wrong with the god damn republicans? As a citizen I apologize to the world. Most of us would love to sit at the table with you and bask in both our diversity and yet sameness.

We all long for shelter, to be clothed, nourishment , education, health care and most of all, community.

To my sisters and brothers in Iran, I do not support trump, in fact I abohor what he is doing. It weighs heavily that I am a citizen of a nation that will commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.

If word salad Harris was doing the same in Iran you would be cheering. Sit down and STFU.

Some DUmp money never saw the movie Bat-21 about how we rescued a downed Air Force Col. from the NVA after 11 days in the jungle and the amount of resources it took to do that. Or how about the story of Rescue Dawn where a Navy Skyraider pilot was shot down and what it took to get him back or maybe they should read the medal Of Homor award given to Maj Fisher for saving a wingman from capture while under intense enemy fire.  Who am I kidding. That would mean they would actually care about the military for them to do that.

I thought you were going to say that would require them to read. :-)

Illegal Alien Terrorist Weaponizes Vehicle on ICE, Gets Shot

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/04/07/illegal-alien-terrorist-weaponizes-vehicle-on-ice-gets-shot-n4951550

While local press initially reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “shot someone” in California, the real story is that officers stopped an illegal alien who was part of a foreign terrorist organization, and they had to defend themselves after he weaponized his vehicle in a potentially deadly attack.

The KTVU headline was “Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot someone in Patterson, Calif., leading to the partial closure of the I-5 freeway in Stanislaus County, the sheriff announced on Tuesday.” Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin quickly clarified that someone with a bullet in him did everything he could to deserve that bullet.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons shared a statement with Melugin to provide details on the traffic stop, which resulted in the partial freeway closure. “On April 7, 2026, ICE officers were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, CA to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder,” Lyons began.

He added, “As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over. Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public.” It is not clear if Hernandez received more than one bullet wound.

One moment of perfect clarity can be devastating.

Orla Minihane has just exposed a number that should end any pretence:

Seventy-nine.

Seventy-nine Labour MPs and councillors with convictions or formal findings for rape, sexual assault, grooming, child sexual exploitation, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other vile sexual misconduct.

Not a handful of bad apples.
Not unfortunate mistakes.

This is a pattern.
This is a culture.

While Labour lectures the nation about protecting women and girls, they have quietly built one of the most predator-friendly environments in British politics.

The question is no longer how these men kept slipping in.

The question is why Labour feels like home to them.

A rotten ecosystem, thriving in plain sight.

Britain First. No Surrender.

Labour currently holds 225 seats in the British parliament. That means this rot is 1 in 3.

When Kathy the Griffin torpedoed her own career, I had actually heard of her. Who is Michael Che, and does he have a career that could be torpedoed?

He's the black gentleman here:

The white dude is married to Scarlett Johansson...if you can believe it.

I actually like most of their joke swaps.

'COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT': Trump puts thumb on the scale in the race to replace Gavin Newsom

https://www.theblaze.com/news/complete-total-endorsement-trump-puts-thumb-on-the-scale-in-the-race-to-replace-gavin-newsom

Quote
With California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) nearing the end of his term, numerous candidates have stepped up to replace him in the upcoming gubernatorial primary race on June 2.

Sixty-one individuals appear on the official certified list of candidates competing for California's top office. While there is currently no clear front-runner, several notable candidates have emerged. These include former Rep. Katie Porter (D), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D), climate advocate and businessman Tom Steyer (D), Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco (R), and Fox News host and small-business owner Steve Hilton (R).

President Donald Trump released a post on social media on Sunday attempting to tip the scales in favor of his preferred candidate in the crowded race.

"I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years," Trump wrote. "He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to Hell."

Of the two R candidates, Hilton may have the greater visibility. This endorsement might reduce the chance of Hilton and Bianco so splitting the R vote that no R would make the November ballot.
