1) Something weird is happening in #Kazerun.
2) Iran's security forces use their motorcycles like the cavalry of old, basically. A fast reaction force, which drives right into crowds of protesters swinging clubs, scattering and running down often unarmed protesters.
3) Basij militia, a paramilitary force, does too. '"They carry guns, batons and they are driving motorcycles," Khalaji said "With the motorcycles they go suddenly, they start to drive into the crowd with high speed. They beat people with electric batons."' foxnews.com/story/2009/06/…
4) But, they were BEATEN. Protesters actually beat the basij militia and security forces in a fight and torched their motorcycles.
5) #Kazerun is in south-central Iran, over 100 miles away from the Persian Gulf. Its' nowhere close to any of the land borders of neighboring countries.
6) Is it possible the Iranian militia and security forces were overwhelmed with sheer numbers? Yeah. The Green Revolution, security forces were able to bring their forces to beat in Iran's capital, as that was the only location of the protests.
7) This time around, the protests are nationwide, and aren't even confined to a single region. They're happening all over the country.
8) Is it possible the security forces are breaking easier because they are having trouble with their paychecks too? Entirely possible. The hyperinflation going on is fucking everyone in Iran, after all.
9) But.... color me confused. Not only did the protesters overwhelm the security forces, but they were smart enough to torch the motorcycles, one of the big advantages the militia and security forces have over the protesters. Something weird is happening. /end

1) This is the single dumbest take I have seen. EVER. You are literally defying fucking reality right now.
2) You are DEFYING the fact that Rosenstein got off of a plane right with Kelly and Trump laughing his ASS OFF. Publicly. No Lady Gaga poker face shit.
3) You’re straight up IGNORING anything Rosenstein has ever said in public explaining the stuff going on around him. Seriously. Go read some of the transcripts of hearings and watch some of the talks he’s given, @GodlessNZ has threads dedicated to the topic.

1) Aaaaaaand here we have the dumbest comment of the fucking year, folks! People learning how our government works means that the government is not in a good place. WOW that leap in fucking logic.
2) Really, people started learning how out government works the minute Trump got elected. Its how we found out the DAG, not the AG, is in charge of the FBI.
3) We learned how convoluted and twisted the system for turning bills into laws were. It involves a lot of fucking ping pong.

Did Infinity War get you down? Did you skip Ant-Man and Wasp because of that Marvel funk?

Go see Venom.

Seriously. Go see it.
The villain is basically a more affable version of Elon Musk. It is fantastic.

Not as much poop and needle piles in San Francisco as in real life, but I’m ok glossing over that bit of the setting.
The only connection to the MCU is the only connection it needs.

Stan Motherfucking Lee cameo.

Beyond that, its self-contained, which does itself credit.

QUESTION! I have a question!

Why should anyone kowtow to a mob who called them a woman drugging alcoholic gang rapist? What does that do besides giving into an angry mob that could be on your doorstep next? That HAS been on your doorstep since day 1 in @jordanbpeterson’s case?
@jordanbpeterson I mean, should Jordan Peterson stop writing books, step down from teaching, and completely withdraw from his social life and career because an angry mob is calling him a sexist racist homophobic transphobic superbigot?
@jordanbpeterson Seriously, I can’t understand the mindset.

And you know what? I’ll come out and say it.

Jordan Peterson is Canadian. He doesn’t understand the American mindset when set upon by adversity. He stood up and defended himsef because that was the natural reaction. But now?

1) There’s that word again. ‘Legitimacy.’ Mark my words: every ruling the Supreme Court makes the left doesn’t like from this point on will be declared illegitimate.
2) The left will use this as an excuse for further lawlessness as they proceed to act AGAINST the rulings of the SCOTUS.
3) Nationwide injunctions will continue until they’re labelled unconstitutional to some degree, at which point the SCOTUS will be ignored and liberal judges will continue to use them.

So, I’m going to try something. I’m going to attempt to dilute the unspoken rules of conservative Twitter into a few easy to follow guidelines.
Rule 1) Thomas Wictor did nothing wrong, much like every other conservative Twitter has ever banned.
Rule 2) If @Debradelai asks you to hold his beer, its because he wants to make sure your hands are occupied for when he punches you in the face with a block.
