Adam H. Johnson is a thin-skinned little doofus who for some reason has a Greenwaldesque tendency to find himself supporting utterly reprehensible characters in the name of "anti-imperialism" so of course he's trying to play down the amount of morons who thought Maureen Dowd was a loving brain genius for her "Donald the Dove" thinkpiece.

I don’t think I’ve read or heard ‘impeachment’ in the last 24 hours. McConnell (R-Turtle) is expected to address the Senate today about how the trial will be run. Pelosi is waiting to forward the two articles of impeachment to the Senate, so there appears to be at least some ability to counter being steamrolled on both scope and timing.

Oil prices shot up on the news so, both a potential gently caress-all war AND we'll pay more at the pump. Thanks, Fuhrer!

colachute posted:Didn’t gas prices hitting like $4/gal plummet GWB’s approval nationally? Yeah. I think the smartest and lowest bodycount response Iran could do would be steps to increase fuel costs. It'll be tricky to not do something in the course of that that makes Trump start bombing though. Especially since Trump seems like he really wants an excuse to start bombing.

While they've been hosed up for decades, and there was certainly a lot of flag toting "Murica! gently caress Yeah!" post 9/11 poo poo going on, I can't really say it felt like Republicans were a death cult with GWB as their holy avatar. The political laws of physics seem to have changed since then and I just don't see super high gas prices today cracking the cult base. As long as those loving whack jobs get permission to be bigoted poo poo heads and make the out-group suffer they will never forsake their master.

As a reminder, a fellow goon has put up amazing effort post on Iran-US relations, and you should read it.quote:Here we get Rafsanjani really trying to make peace with the US and just cool everyone off, they gave a huge oil contract to a US company to develop an offshore oil field, the government and the CIA pushed for this to happen as they really wanted to try and break the ice. But then the republicans won Congress and the Israeli lobby and those who just plain hated Bill Clinton and they put up even harsher economic sanctions. This is the point that Newt Gingrich really starts yelling about overthrowing Iran. He pushed through a very public 18 million dollars for the CIA's budget for Iranian operations. This would accomplish bugger all, you can’t run a spy ring in a coffee shop for 18 million. It completely tanked any chance of the CIA really developing any meaningful Iranian intelligence network (Which they had lost in its entirety 6 years prior). What the CIA actually did was stuff like smuggling books into Iran. The one thing this really achieved was in convincing Iran that America was essentially declaring full scale covert war against them, so Iran countered by actually declaring covert war. They attempted to start a riot in Bahrain and then blew up Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia, a building that housed a bunch of USAF personnel of whom they killed 20 and injured a further 400. The revolutionary guard navy harassed boats in the gulf leading to concerns about suicide boat attacks against the USN.

The only way we could have gotten ahead on this is it were a decapitation strike part of a campaign to replace the parliamentarians and militia leaders with US allies. That sure didn't loving happen. So it looks like a bunch of people who should know better talked themselves into thinking that a nation that fought through chemical weapon attacks in living memory will back down and roll over if you just give them a good smack.
