DharmaBum50 comments on Jan 6, 2020:

Yes, I remember the outrage from this nation about the Taliban destroying the Bamiyan Buddha statues in 2001. It sounds a tad hypocritical now. If we destroy, say, the Soltaniyeh Mausoleum, how are we any different from the Taliban--or from Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, the jihadist who destroyed cultural artifacts in Mali? The latter, however, set a precedent for legal action from the ICC, and the terrorist is now serving nine years in prison for his war crimes. Perhaps some hope for justice if tRump goes down that road? https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/05/world/trump-iran-cultural-sites-war-crime/index.html

Trump’s speech in Hershey revealed a presidency off the rails [vox.

DharmaBum50 comments on Dec 12, 2019:

Well put all around, but the "firehose of nonsense" metaphor was brilliant. But these increasingly incendiary rallies are scary as hell and point to the importance of getting out the damn vote next year--and the possible use of force if tRump refuses to end his squattership in the White House if he loses. "The dark spectacle doesn’t necessarily bolster Democrats’ impeachment case, but it does illustrate what the stakes are — not only of a possible impeachment trial, but of the 2020 campaign. But watching Trump deliver such a nakedly authoritarian speech behind the presidential seal made it hard to shake the thought that the election that really mattered was 2016."
