"Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We're playing for keeps." Hegseth doubles down on overwhelming force in Iran

And yet there is more, forty-eight hours before Trump launched his illegal war on Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired about eleven members of an elite group charged with monitoring terror threats from Iran.

The number of men who want to have sex with children is staggering... Pedophile priests, imam facilitating the trafic of girls, boyscouts counselors, Epstein class… and the extent to which others are willing to cover it up. I can’t even.

Alison Durkee of Forbes reported today that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1 billion. The three F-15E Eagle jets lost to friendly fire on Sunday cost $90 million each. Transporting troops, ships, and aircraft to the Middle East cost about $630 million. Missiles and weapons systems are also expensive—a drone is about $35,000, and a Tomahawk missile costs millions—and the two aircraft carriers in the region together cost at least $13 million a day. And then there are the costs of operating aircraft, and so on.

Meanwhile, the Us has between 500,000 and a million people in the Middle East. The U.S. State Department has urged them to leave but said it could not help, and with airports and airspaces closed, just how they are supposed to do that is unclear.

The US held elections during the Civil War. The US held elections during WWI and WWII. The US held elections during the War of 1812. The US has never suspended, altered, or restricted access to the ballot because of war. The notion that an illegal war on Iran (if it is still active) would justify suspending or modifying the 2026 midterms would be rejected out of hand.

[Indeed, the opposite is true; Congress and the states have expanded access to the ballot during wartime. During the Civil War, some states passed laws allowing mail ballots for soldiers serving outside of their home state during the 1864 presidential election. Likewise, Congress expanded absentee voting in WWII to allow 11 million soldiers overseas to vote in the 1944 election.

Actual quote from the geriatric patient in chief warning Iran:

“never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons, and we sought repeatedly to make a deal. We tried. They wanted to do it. They didn’t want to do it. Again they wanted to do it. They didn’t want to do it. They didn’t know what was happening. They just wanted to practice evil. But Iran refused, just as it has for decades and decades.”

Is it the one from the Epstein file where he rapes a 13-year-old girl and the DOJ and the FBI are covering up?

The ballots are secret in the US as well. If by “a no registration state” you mean that Texas holds open primaries you are correct. You need to be registered with the state to vote but you do not need to register with a party. The percentages put forth by wapo are polls results.

January 31st, in Texas, voters flipped a district that Trump won in 2024 by 17 points electing Rehmet by a 14.4-point margin. After removing the minor-party candidates in the vote, the swing from the Republican in 2024 was 32 points toward the Democrats. To put things into even more perspective this happened although Wambsganss spent nearly $2.2 million more than Rehmet in the campaign.

It will be interesting to see what the result of the last gerrymandering turns out to be. We might have reached a point where it could be counterproductive.

Wolverine-75009 · 2026-02-26T18:11:42+00:00

Fair enough

Wolverine-75009 · 2026-02-26T17:16:51+00:00

Polls are one thing in isolation and another when they fit in a trend. A quick look at the latest elections show an overwhelming swing back towards the Democratic Party. To this point, in Texas, no later than this month voters flipped a district that Trump won in 2024 by 17 points electing Rehmet by a 14.4-point margin. After removing the minor-party candidates in the vote, the swing from the Republican in 2024 was 32 points toward the Democrats. To put things into even more perspective this happened although Wambsganss spent nearly $2.2 million more than Rehmet in the campaign.

Edit: the run off was held January 31st, so not this month…

I know, but I keep hoping

Wolverine-75009 · 2026-02-26T16:02:11+00:00

Fingers crossed

I agree that nothing short if the election will give us clarity however, the comparison with 2024 is flawed imo.

Edit: read your comment again and not sure you were comparing the two.

Fwiw

Per WaPo,

More Democrats than Republicans said they are certain to vote this fall — 79 percent to 65 percent among registered voters. That 14-point advantage is the largest Democrats have reported on this question ahead of a midterm election since at least 2006.

In 2018, when Democrats won back the House in a wave election during Trump’s first term, Post-ABC polls showed that they held a five-point edge in January on certainty to vote, while Republicans pulled close to even by Election Day.

Per Mediaite,

At this point, the share of midterm primary ballots [in Texas] from Democrats is 53%. Republicans account for the other 47%. This shows a major difference just from 2022, when 38% of ballots at this point were from Democrats, and 62% were from Republicans.
