Iranian schoolgirls are ‘better dead than in a burqa’ - is dehumanisation in action, right? What an utterly vile, misogynistic and ignorant statement to make about hundreds of innocent, civilian school girls murdered and maimed by the American military under dictator Trump’s orders. Conservative leaders that talk like that aren’t just insulated; their cruel twisted minds are divorced from the feelings that make the rest of us caring, moral, human beings. They are revelling in the pain they cause others while calling it ‘in the interests of national security’. What possible hope is there with sadists like this in charge? One thing is certain - voting against them will not be enough to get rid of them.
Don't forget, this is supported by the "good Christian" Dictator Dump and his "good Christian" republiCRAP allies..........thought they were opposed to killing.
Your comparisons to Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad seem apt, especially the dehumanizing of perceived enemies. Just when I think I cannot be shocked further, Trump says something like “people will die”. Right. But clearly neither he nor his Republican minions feel personally responsible for or related to those who suffer unnecessarily, either here or abroad. I suspect that the deaths of others will only feel “real” to them when those deaths involve their own children or other family members. That is terrifying.
He was so disrespectful yesterday at the repatriation of the fallen wearing his stupid baseball hat. Neither he nor Vance bowed their heads during the ceremony. And apparently Fox News showed a previous repatriation where he wasn’t wearing the cap.
OMG! Glad I missed that. HOW DISGUSTING AND DISRESPECTFUL. Wearing his baseball cap??????????????????? What an a**h***. Then again.....don't know why I'm surprised. It fits in well with his disgusting manners, ethics, etc. It really is appalling. Leave it to him to make sure he gets as much attention as possible--at this sad event as well as many others.

“Trump Wants to ‘Take Over’ Elections. These States Are Prime Targets.
President Trump thinks Republicans should control voting procedures in parts of the United States. But where? Here are some possibilities.
Facing the possibility of big losses for Republicans in the midterm elections, President Trump has reiterated his unfounded assertions of electoral fraud. He has also begun speaking of the need to “nationalize” elections, and for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in parts of the country.
This rhetoric is often vague, coming across as a hint of plan, rather than an actual one.
But a map of potential targets may be coming into focus and includes the swing states Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona. Voting experts, government officials and others have identified a host of conditions that could make those places ripe for meddling from the Trump administration or its allies.
In Michigan, a coalition of right-wing activists has obtained copies of about 150,000 absentee ballots and envelopes from the 2020 election, and is organizing to investigate them for errors, anomalies or fraud.
In North Carolina and Arizona, several Republican legislators and local election officials continue to embrace electoral conspiracy theories and have pushed for more control over voting processes.
The fear is that pro-Trump forces in these states could begin pushing dubious pretexts to try to change election rules, take over local voting systems or otherwise find ways to give Republicans unfair advantages as they seek to ride out a wave of discontent over Mr. Trump’s second presidential term.
Democratic officials in other states have also begun to wonder whether their jurisdictions will be the next target of the administration’s scrutiny, or worse.
Alisha Bell, the commission chair in Wayne County, Mich., which includes Detroit, said that she has been in contact with officials in Fulton County, Ga., which includes Atlanta. They have discussed, she said, how similar actions “could happen across the country.”
With control of Congress at stake, many Democratic state politicians and election officials are expecting, and preparing for, a fight with the Trump administration.
“This is really about trying to create that predicate for actions that will put more control in the hands of his administration and the federal government,” said Joanna Lydgate, chief executive of the States United Democracy Center, a nonprofit dedicated to fair elections.
A White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, dismissed those concerns and pointed to the president’s desire to pass election legislation like the SAVE Act, which among other measures would require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
“President Trump is committed to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections, and that includes totally accurate and up-to-date voter rolls free of errors and unlawfully registered noncitizen voters,” she said in a statement…..”

He's getting worse every day.
Things won’t change in the Trump regime until it starts hitting our politicians at home.

"Epic Fury" is something I experience on a daily basis when confronted with news about trmp and his entire mis-administration!
Hegseth is sounding more and more like a Jihadist. This is most assuredly NOT a HOLY war - which, in and of itself, is an oxymoron.
This war with Iran will only ensure the genesis of a future 9/11!

After what he did with the Obamas nothing shocks me.
You got it!!!!!!!!!!! Amen!
Thanks for your reply.
He was only there because he had to be. He does not care. If he did, he would have shown some respect and not worn his baseball cap.
I would like to know the name of the individual that stated ‘better dead than in a burqa’. That is a very disturbing comment. Terrifying.

I think this uber aggression and psychopathy is related to a hormonal imbalance of testosterone.
An easy fix would be to have the US Surgeon do a little snip snip on DJT and some of his cabinet members.

Facing the possibility of big losses for Republicans in the midterm elections, President Trump has reiterated his unfounded assertions of electoral fraud. He has also begun speaking of the need to “nationalize” elections, and for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in parts of the country.
This rhetoric is often vague, coming across as a hint of plan, rather than an actual one.
But a map of potential targets may be coming into focus and includes the swing states Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona. Voting experts, government officials and others have identified a host of conditions that could make those places ripe for meddling from the Trump administration or its allies.
In Michigan, a coalition of right-wing activists has obtained copies of about 150,000 absentee ballots and envelopes from the 2020 election, and is organizing to investigate them for errors, anomalies or fraud.
In North Carolina and Arizona, several Republican legislators and local election officials continue to embrace electoral conspiracy theories and have pushed for more control over voting processes.
Most significant, in Georgia, the F.B.I., acting on a search warrant that https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/02/11/us/election-ballots-fulton-county-fbi-affadavit.html about the 2020 race, seized hundreds of boxes of ballots from a government warehouse in late January, an extraordinary intrusion into the American electoral process.
The fear is that pro-Trump forces in these states could begin pushing dubious pretexts to try to change election rules, take over local voting systems or otherwise find ways to give Republicans unfair advantages as they seek to ride out a wave of discontent over Mr. Trump’s second presidential term.
Democratic officials in other states have also begun to wonder whether their jurisdictions will be the next target of the administration’s scrutiny, or worse.
