Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 09:17:45 PMQuote from: Pergamos on Yesterday at 03:55:39 PMIs that like the conservative equivalent of gender studies?Well ... I hadn't given it any thought until you brought it up. But, taking into account how opposed the typical conservative is to critical thinking, I'd have to say, yes. Yes, it is. Final answer.

And, it's in West Virginia no less. What's a cult to do?

It wasnt just that its a stupid course, it also got kicked in the teeth by capitalism.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - July 04, 2026, 07:30:11 AMIt looks like the POSOTUS is giving a gift to the Democratic Party:
As per this article:
"President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of November's midterm elections, an unusual event aimed at boosting turnout in races that will decide whether the party maintains control of Congress."
And, further along in this same article:
"Democrats have said the GOP convention will be a chance for them to tie Republican House and Senate candidates to Trump, whose approval rating is underwater."
And so, it appears that the Democrats know they're being given a gift. Now, we'll see if they actually know how to utilize this gift.

I am watching them with interest.

And then they will say "We have to put all of this behind us."
And no bad actors will be punished.
You're almost certainly right, and as a consequence, the next Republican president will make us all wish for a return to good old Trumpy.

And, they know they are now stronger than they've ever been. And so, it's now just a matter of them extracting the reparations they want from us, and they also know time is on their side.The original interview this article is based upon is behind a WSJ paywall. But, this is a short summary:
The POSOTUS believed he had the military capability to force a regime change in Iran simply by ordering a short bombing campaign. But, the result of his failed bombing campaign is that the Iranian theocracy now has the capability to severely weaken the Turd Reich. And, although the Iranian theocracy can not actually destroy the Turd Reich outright, they can easily weaken it by occasionally restricting the flow of oil through the Straits of Hormuz.
Therefore, I see no reason for the Iranian theocracy to come to any kind of a final agreement with the Turd Reich prior to the U.S. Midterm elections.
As per this article:
"Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove predicted the Iranians would try to hurt President Donald Trump in this fall's midterm elections by creating problems during a Fox News hit over the weekend.
Rove made the point shortly after anchor Paul Gigot observed that Trump "has some persuading to do to convince the public" that the United States' war with Iran has been successful."
And, as per further along in this article:
""Well, even if it happens, I'm not convinced that it's going to be that dispositive, that that's going to determine the outcome, the election, [it] will help, obviously. But look, we're not the only ones who know this. We're not the only ones paying attention to oil prices," replied Rove. "Remember, all of these negotiations with Iran need to be completed by the middle of August. The Iranians are not dumb. They know that the fall campaign starts in earnest on Labor Day. I would not be surprised to see them attempt to have an influence on the outcome by creating problems in mid-August, and causing oil prices to rise and uncertainty to grow.""
And so, I'm obviously not the only one who suspects the Iranians are going to continue to toy with the POSOTUS and his Turd Reich.
That probably means extremely high gas prices, and nasty price shocks on everything that needs to be transported. I hope, along with the Iranians, that the Democrats sweep the midterms, but I don't want everything to cost obscene amounts to get there, and I also really hope the Democrats take things far more seriously than they have been. Momdani style action is pretty desparately needed.
The dems will get in.
And then they will say "We have to put all of this behind us."
And no bad actors will be punished.
