Rubio about Iran: "This is a country whose economy is in shambles. This is a country whose people have been protesting on the streets… They have taken all of their money and have invested it in building missiles."

“We can’t take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection.” -DJT

"Military protection" is the **entire reason the second amendment exists.** I'm flabbergasted. My jimmies are, in fact, rustled. We should not need a large standing army.

"No no no, you don't understand. The problem with Iran's repression is they worship the wrong god. We worship the right god, so what we do is justified."

They worship the same god they are just too stupid to understand.

Marco is deep in the closet, snorting coke, calling everyone else a sinner. Not too off-brand for right weirdos

It’s willful, they become livid at the use of the term Judeo-Christian.

Always found this hilarious about monotheistic religions. If they truly believe there is only one God, then they worship the exact same God. The SAME God, told them to worship in different ways. Then it becomes “God wasn’t being serious when you told you how to live, he was being serious when he told me though. How do I know? Because f*** you that’s why”

No, no, see everyone else is either an agent of the devil, trying to destroy the good people, a dumb fool conned into following a false religion for some manipulative a******'s benefit, or a poor ignorant who needs to be taught about Jesus, depending on how much hatred towards them is convenient for them at the moment. Or in simpler terms, their beliefs about the other religions are predicated on what makes them feel good at the time, and will change on a whim.

Sorry for explaining the joke, but... >“Understand this, Iran — this is a country that has trouble coming up with drinking water. This is a country whose economy is in shambles. It’s going to be even worse off after this operation,” Rubio told Fox News host Sean Hannity. So like ~~Flint Michigan...even today?~~ (^(looks like that's been fixed finally. Yay!)) Or the continued theft of spring water by companies like Nestle that destroy the town's local source? Or data centers and AI sucking up the supply from their neighbors? >“This is a country whose people have been protesting in the streets because not just the lack of freedom, but the lack of economic opportunity, because they’ve taken all of their money, all the money they have, the little money they have because of sanctions.” Like stagnating minimum wages? Rising inflation? Tariffs that the end user ultimately pays? The oppressing thumb of capitalist tech bros slowly creating apps that are eliminating third spaces? Like the ever-increasing wage disparity between the 0.01% and the 99.99%? >“And they’ve invested all of it in sponsoring terrorism and building long-range missiles, increasing the range of their missiles every year and building thousands of ’em and building these, these one-way attack drones that they’re using against their neighbors. This is what they put their money towards, and this is what they were going to continue to do.” Like Boeing, Lockheed Martin? Like Geopolitical bullying? Like the $2 trillion a year (edit: projected...only almost 1T now) spent on the Department of Defense and their activities that could be spent on healthcare, education, public transportation services adapted to suit the vast geographical challenges we face, renewable energy, ensuring housing for all Americans, and nationalizing utility services like electricity water and communications? Like those, Marco? LIKE THOSE?!

The hypocrisy is the point, these people act like this on purpose, it frustrates anyone that questions them which makes them feel like they are winning. It works on vast swaths of the population. It's the same psychological concept that keeps victims in relationships with their abusers.

>Or data centers and AI sucking up the supply from their neighbors? I live in Shreveport. Our city council unanimou$$$ly voted to let a data center in, despite massive opposition from residents. We also just had a massive water main break that affected most of the city. We're talking 100,000 people with no water or extremely low pressure for nearly a week. Businesses and schools closed. How much worse is it going to be when the data centers are sucking up all that water, too? I do not see them prioritizing residents over that sweet, sweet revenue. I hope to be out of here soon.

The truth is the future Y'll Qaeda (the Christian Nationalists and Endtime Evangelicals) wants for America doesn't differ substantially from what Al Qaeda and similar religious fanatics want in other countries.

In Iran, if a 12 year old is forcefully impregnated by her father then she must carry the baby to term or face life imprisonment. Sorry, actually that isn’t Iran. It’s Texas, Alabama and Mississippi.

MAGA is straight projection. They're just Y'All Qaeda wrapped in western business fashion.

Projection is all these shitbags do. They are so insecure and weak that even their subconcious knows about it.

These toads have nothing but ego. They are as psychologically shallow as hateful children. They project and confess with every blurt of their shit covered mouths. The shame of putting these people in power will haunt americans for generations and generations far into whatever future we have on this earth.

This is the guy that leads the USA, the puppeteer behind the curtain, the power behind the money, the small organism pulling levers and pushing buttons inside Trump's brain.

Yeah, right-wing theocracies suck wherever they are. But we should have let the Iranian people choose when they’re ready to overthrow theirs.

Everything about the right is projection. Baffling how that holds true every single time, isn't it?
