The People Say 'Stop The War', The Democrats Say 'Hold My Beer'

“…Under conditions of mass popular opposition to the war, which is being used by the Trump administration as a pretext to cut food stamps and other social services, the position of the Democratic Party is not ‘Stop the war’, but ‘Win the war!'”
–Andre Damon reporting at the WSWS, 07.22.2026

Here, Gomer, let a pro show you how we did it in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza and Ukraine. We’ve been a war party since the Lord was a corporal.

Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall

(Full title: “Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall With Off-Ramp Bouquet”)

There’s something stiffening out there right now, but it sure as hell isn’t Pete’s “resolve”, if you know what I’m sayin’.

Along with this particular concept, I’m thinking of something a bit broader in scope, perhaps with the Wall as the centerpiece of a Donald J. Trump Iran War Memorial Park, with the Wall as a centerpiece overlooking a large Reflecting Pool in the shape of the Strait Of Hormuz and, in the Pool – in the spirit of JFK’s Eternal Flame – an Eternal Algae Bloom in loving memory of the 18 (at the moment) brave troops who laid down their lives for Democracy™ or affordability or some shit.

Then, maybe, on the other side of the Reflecting Pool, a small marble amphitheater with a UFC cage for celebratory matches on Veterans’ Day, Fourth Of July, Memorial Day…?

All I Want For Christmas

 

…history also remembers those who refused resignation. Those who spoke in the cadence of resistance, who dared to describe the world not as the powerful narrated it, but as the oppressed lived it.

What really amuses me about all this – besides the fact that the Defense Secretary sounds as if he got lost on the way to ComicCon – is that all the imperialist Liberals out there are strangely silent. I mean, c’mon, peeps – isn’t this what you wanted? Wreck and occupy the place and nab all of our oil that Venezuela had under their country? I mean, that has to be the real mission, after watching the Donster pardon some crooked-ass coke-dealing Honduran politician who was said to have claimed he would shove the cocaine up Americans’ noses personally, or some whacked shit.

Perhaps I don’t watch enough MSNBC – oh, sorry, MSNOW – but all the imperialist Liberals in my life have been real, real, real goddamn quiet. I mean, y’all wanted to get rid of that popularly-elected socialist government which has actually been working to give the People what they want and refuses to suck Uncle Sam’s dick – oh, I’m sorry; that corrupt, brutal dictator, huh? They’re always “brutal dictators” with these Liberals …and you just know the People love Maduro when a rank, fashy rag like the New York Times says that he’s “clinging to power”.

Sometimes, I think it might almost be worth the risk of annihilation to watch Amerika get its ass sucked into another quagmire in Latin America against Russia and China. A ringside seat for the collapse of the Empire would be really sweet.

Hooray for Santy Claus.
