31. Ah - Thats it! Iran picking up where SCOTUS punted
Fri Mar 27, 2026, 09:36 AM
Friday

My brain wasn't connecting the dots. Who ever imagined the world taking Iran's word over our own IC and government? Who ever imagined our allies leaning into working with Iran rather than joining US efforts abroad?

You nailed it. Iran is doing something our pinky-swear version of democracy is incapable of - holding him accountable. SCOTUS punted on that, so the only thing left was it coming internationally and his insatiable ego went after the worst target imaginable.

At least they are showcasing our status as rogue nation celebrating war crimes. That needs to be cemented into the global psyche before the war crime trials begin at The Hague.
