okay everyone, here's Khameni's response after the bombings, with english subtitles. bc everyone is out here acting stupid.
note that after the attack he still uses the hypothetical "IF" the united states chooses to enter this conflict.
hours after the fact, i am still convinced that everyone (except netanyhu i guess?) knows this shit's for shows, the iranians suffered a bruise and said they will seek "legal action".
the only question here is whether or not israel keeps hitting. if they do, iran will keep hitting back and i guess over the last week we learned that israel ain't shit. they can massacre a couple hundred more iranians, but it seems even with 3-4 western navies in the mediterranean helping with missile defense, they're taking too many hits. israel is a speck of a country people. you can't just be losing a couple buildings every night.
and then IF israel hits back we'll see something interesting. whether trump will go in or not. after tonight, i'm genuinely convinced he doesn't *want* to go in. he's willing to put on a show for the neo-cons but he really doesn't *want* to sully his name. he won't *want* to do anything that'll make the iranians hit u.s. assets (except israel bc they started it). it doesn't mean he won't be pressured. but that's what trump signaled tonight.

"If Congress can employ money indefinitely, for the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, the establishing in like manner schools throughout the union ..it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America."

> only a retard want a committee to run the military.

That's why they made the President Commander in Chief.

But they were too wise to leave the power to start war with one man.

“The Constitution vests the power of declaring war with Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they have deliberated on the subject and authorized such a measure.”

- George Washington

“In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department. Beside the objection to such a mixture of heterogeneous powers: the trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man"

I'm against getting involved between Israel and Iran just like I was against getting involved between Ukraine and Russia. And of course when you really look at the full history, we were already part of both of these conflicts. And the UNSC had already tried to address both of these brewing conflicts years ago, with us working to make sure those efforts failed. #uspol

Statement from the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Following the brutal attacks launched by the Zionist enemy over the past few days, this morning, Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked by the enemies of Islamic Iran, in a brutal act that contravenes international laws, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

This action, which violates international law, was unfortunately carried out with indifference and even with the cooperation of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The American enemy, through the President of this country, has claimed responsibility for the attack on the aforementioned sites, which are under the continuous supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, based on the Safeguards Agreement and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The international community is expected to condemn the law-of-the-jungle chaos and support Iran in achieving its legitimate rights.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil plots of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its revolutionary and enthusiastic scientists and experts, it will not allow the development of this national industry, the fruit of the blood of nuclear martyrs, to be halted.

This organization has put on its agenda the necessary measures, including legal measures, to defend the rights of the noble Iranian people.

Quoting Jean-Pierre Filiu (Historian and professor at Sciences Po Paris) on Trump’s Christian Zionist allies who drive anti-Palestinian policy in Gaza

[…] “These messianic evangelicals are convinced that their salvation depends on the fulfillment of prophecies, which in their view means the establishment of a single Jewish state over what they consider to be the ‘Holy Land.’”

Trump has assembled the most anti-Palestinian administration in US history, dominated by Christian Zionists who view Israeli control over Palestinian territories through a messianic lens. Key figures include Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who supports destroying Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem for a Third Temple, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who denies Palestinian existence and supports West Bank annexation. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, meant to replace UN aid operations, has failed spectacularly with killings and chaos during distributions. These officials openly support Israeli recolonization of Gaza after expelling Palestinians, exposing the administration’s complete rejection of a two-state solution.

Bee Gees - Night Fever

"Night Fever" by the Bee Gees is an iconic disco anthem that defined the late 1970s music scene. Featured in the film "Saturday Night Fever", this track showcases the group's signature harmonies and infectious rhythm. Its upbeat tempo and catchy melody make it a timeless classic that continues to inspire dance floors around the world.

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
Listen to the ground
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it

On the waves of the air
There is dancin' out there
If it's somethin' we can share
We can steal it

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

In the heat of our love
Don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind
I get higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
I give you warnin'

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the night
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever

Michael Jackson - Thriller (Official 4K Video)

Michael Jackson's official 4K music video for "Thriller"

Michael Jackson's 14-minute short film "Thriller" revolutionised the music video genre forever. Hailed as the greatest music video of all time by MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone and others, "Thriller," directed by John Landis, is also the only music video selected to be included in the Library of Congress' prestigious National Film Registry.

Michael Jackson's short film for "Thriller" was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The "Thriller" single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Thriller" Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989.

The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with "Billie Jean," following up with "Beat It" and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute "Thriller," truly expanded the possibilities of "music video" as art form. "I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something you'd want to watch over and over," Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make."

In the short film's extended prologue, Michael's moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the "real" Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theatre, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of "Thriller."

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it
And you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralysed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
And you feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
And you close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination (girl)
But all the while, you hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl
Thriller (ooh), thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide) this is the end of your life
Ooh

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side (ooh)
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night, I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, thriller
Here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ow!)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of Hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)
Ooh, baby (thriller), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night, killer)
Oh, darling (oh, baby), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)
Ooh-ooh, baby (thriller night), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)
Oh, darling (oh, baby), thriller night, baby (thriller night, baby)
Ooh

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years (thriller, thriller night)
And grisly ghouls from every tomb (I'm gonna thrill you tonight, thriller)
Are closing in to seal your doom (ooh, baby, oh yeah)

And though you fight to stay alive (ooh, I'm gonna thrill you tonight)
Your body starts to shiver (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)
For no mere mortal can resist (thriller, thriller tonight)
The evil of the thriller

Suspicious minds are talkin'
They're tryin' to tear us apart
They don't believe in this love of mine
But they don't know what love is

They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
But I know what love is!

There ain't no way

USA AIRSTRIKES AGAINST IRAN!

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.

All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this.

@ml@mitexleo.one > The true meaning behind Iran's "Death to America" slogan is not a literal call for violence against American citizens, but rather a political statement expressing opposition to U.S. government policies and leadership. Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, have repeatedly clarified that the chant targets the actions and policies of U.S. leaders—such as presidents and top officials—not the American people themselves[1][2][3][4]. > > The slogan, which in Persian is "Marg bar Âmrikâ," is often officially translated as "Down with America" to soften its literal message[1]. It originated out of anger toward U.S. government actions, particularly historical events like the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and ongoing U.S. foreign policy in the region[5][6]. Many Iranians and scholars explain that the chant symbolizes resistance to perceived U.S. arrogance, interventionism, and hostility, rather than a desire for harm to ordinary Americans[1][6]. > > In summary, "Death to America" is a protest against U.S. foreign policy and leadership, not a threat against American citizens[1][2][5][6][3][4].

Has it ever crossed anyone's mind, that those of that didn't vote, was usually because we didn't approve of either candidate?

I never approved of orange baby, plain and simple.

Kamala was cool though, looking to help people and not deceive them, and I just might have voted for her.

But even though I have no problem with a female president, she would have too many world stage problems with countries and groups that don't respect women at all.

So, seeing both as a risk, why would I have voted for either? Like, why did Pete Buttiguieg drop out?

That's the real question, what forces in play made my dude Pete drop out? I sure as hell would have voted for him!

Well riddle me this..

Since I haven't had an opportunity to even go through the process of voting, despite trying, waiting for ~2 hours, only to close at 8pm and officers ordered everyone still waiting to leave, I have no experience with the actual process of voting.

So how does the process actually work? From my understanding, unless I'm mistaken, don't people get to vote on numerous positions at once, not just the president?

Like, I'd be looking at the options and be wondering who half or more of the candidates even are, and also not even being sure exactly what the nature of their job is in the bigger picture, not knowing a damn thing about them to make any educated decision.

Also, from my understanding, in my state, if you vote Democrat, you have to vote all Democrats, and if you vote Republican, you have to vote all Republicans. Like what the hell do names and campaign goals even mean if you don't have the option to vote Democrat for one office, but might actually like the campaign goals of a Republican for another office?

It's like what the hell do names even matter, if I'm a registered Democrat voter (which I am), then shouldn't they already know how I'd vote anyways?

If I'm mistaken on any of this, by all means please let me know. Please be willing to educate inexperienced people as to how the voting process even works before giving them shit for not voting after trying, only for everyone still waiting to get sent home.

You gotta get in the building first. Back in 2016, me and a friend went to vote. I would have voted Vermin Supreme (legit candidate no less), and my buddy planned on writing in Batman.

We stood in line for around 2 hours. For about the last half hour of waiting it was raining. Around half of everyone knew the weather forecast and had an umbrella, including us.

They closed the voting place (library) down at 8pm sharp, and the cops told everyone in line to go home. We were probably 150~200 people back in line.

We all waited that long, even in the fucking rain, only to be ordered to leave?!

If it matters (which it probably does), our state doesn't have early voting, you get one day to do it and that's it.

Wait 2 goddamn hours, partly in the rain, only to get shut down with around 200 people or so waiting to vote?!

Sooo.. I've never had a chance to see the inside of a voting facility. Not for lack of trying though.

"I didn't like either, so I did nothing" is such a bullshit excuse...

Like it or not, we have a two party system and this was the worst possible time for anyone to decide to do nothing. Non-voters are just as complicit in what's going on now because they chose to do fuck all when it actually mattered... I hope the righteous objection through inaction was worth it, because people are dying as a result now.

Read my other comment, I tried in 2016, definitely wasn't going to vote for orange. I never got to see the inside of the voting place.

After waiting around 2 hours, they shut down and cops ordered everyone remaining in line to leave at 8pm. There were probably around 200 people outside still waiting to vote..

You gotta get in the building first. Back in 2016, me and a friend went to vote. I would have voted Vermin Supreme (legit candidate no less), and my buddy planned on writing in Batman.

We stood in line for around 2 hours. For about the last half hour of waiting it was raining. Around half of everyone knew the weather forecast and had an umbrella, including us.

They closed the voting place (library) down at 8pm sharp, and the cops told everyone in line to go home. We were probably 150~200 people back in line.

We all waited that long, even in the fucking rain, only to be ordered to leave?!

You tried once, so you said fuck it this time...

You know mail-in, absentee, and provisional ballots are a thing, right?

Also, if you're in line to vote and the polling place is set to close, you still have the right to cast your ballot, no matter how long it takes. They can turn new people away, but they can't just close up and send people home if they've been waiting. If you were told to leave, those cops violated the law. And if they absolutely had to close, they're required to give out provisional ballots. Know your rights dude.

Okay, good to know. Maybe I can sue the library and the cops and get to cast my 2016 vote, wouldn't that be fucking nice if there was a time machine?

Like I said, we were in a line of probably around 200 people, and we were probably in place about 150 back towards the end of the line.

Everyone else ahead of us followed the orders first and left for their vehicles, we were towards the back of the line and were amongst the last to find out they closed as the cops ordered everyone to leave.

What the fuck you expect me to do, run around the block to get to the library door and beat on it? Get tackled and shot by cops?

You think I'm fucking stupid? If the 150 people ahead of me are complying with the cops, you think I'm gonna be the idiot to catch a bullet?

I don't care. You did this.

Drag every dumb American leftist that was here during the election claiming this exact thing, or that Harris' support of Israel was too much and Trump wouldn't do the same. Collaborationists one and all. May as well have given the order today.

You live with that now. And as it continues to get worse I sure hope someone in your life slaps the self-serving excuses right out of you so it dawns on you, because you will have to stew in this the rest of your life.

You are the enemy, just as much as the average noncommital fascist was in the mid-20th century. You are a cautionary tale for some kid studying history in a century, assuming we get to have kids studying history in a century despite your best attempts.

Oh, no, you're not.

You're a speck of the nameless hordes in a rogue superpower. A collaborationist in a fascist nuclear state.

You have zero relevance as an individual. You are, fundamentally, just a small part of a big problem.

I have no obligation to care about your "individuality". I care about your victims. Which exist. You have real, human victims now. And I really hope if you're being honest about your self-righteous denials throughout this thread, that it at least triggers some self-awareness about that.

Has it ever crossed anyone's mind, that those of that didn't vote, was usually because we didn't approve of either candidate?


Christ, do they not teach the trolley problem anymore?

"Has it ever crossed anyone's mind that I didn't want the 5 guys on the main track or the 1 guy on the side track to die?"

Duh. That's the point. You act and feel guilty about a small bad thing, or do nothing and feel guilty and a big bad thing. We got the big bad ending, feel guilty.

That theory works great in hindsight, but before the election the orange turd was promising to stop wars, not start them.

Sure we all know he's a liar now, but before the election, going on their campaigns, how could anyone be sure which track would actually have more bodies in the future in that Trolley Problem.

You can't predict the future, so that's like presenting the Trolley Problem as if the switch is 10 miles before the tracks split.
