Anti-Trump Revolt – Tucker Calls Iran Decision ‘Disgusting and Evil’

Anti-Trump Revolt – Tucker Calls Iran Decision ‘Disgusting and Evil’

MTG: ‘Us younger generations … hate this f***ing bulls***’

While most Republicans were delighted that the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive against the repressive, theocratic, authoritarian Iranian regime had finally begun, there were a few who condemned the strikes in the most hyperbolic terms.

Asked for comment by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Tucker Carlson, who visited President Donald Trump at the White House just last week to advise him against taking action against Iran, denounced Operation Epic Fury as “disgusting and evil.” He reportedly argued that the strikes will “re-shuffle the deck” in a big way.

Well, wasn’t that the whole point?

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), once among Trump’s most loyal allies and now one of his fiercest enemies, also took aim at the president.

In a Saturday post on X, Greene attacked Trump and his “baby boomer friends and supporters” for prioritizing the strikes over the affordability crisis he had been elected to fix. After rattling off a list of economic problems Gen Xers, millennials and Gen Zers are currently facing, she claimed that, “Us younger generations … hate this f***ing bulls***.”

She added:

Because we all know that in 10 years when the baby boomers that have been in charge of ALL of America’s disastrous decisions are retired or passed away, us younger generations will be left with no social security checks because it will have gone bankrupt, over $50 Trillion in debt, and a dollar that won’t be worth sh**.

Questioned by CNN about Greene’s remark that the Iran strikes are an example of putting “America last,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) reminded the host that Greene once pushed “Jewish space lasers” and called her “one of the dumbest people ever in Congress.”

Carlson and Greene weren’t alone in their opposition to the war. They were joined by all of the usual suspects, which, of course, included Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)  and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). What’s wrong with Republicans from Kentucky anyway?

But these individuals appear to be missing something. Since 1979, Iran’s evil regime and its determination to acquire nuclear weapons have destabilized the region — and the world. Designated the world’s top sponsor of terrorism, Iran and its network of proxy militias are responsible for killing and wounding thousands of U.S. service members throughout the Middle East.

As for the Iranian people, most of them welcomed the strikes. After 47 years of life under a hardline regime, Iranians — both inside the country and across the diaspora — celebrated when the death of Ayatollah Khamenei was confirmed Saturday afternoon.

In a January 13 post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump urged Iranian citizens to continue protesting, promising that “help is on the way.” At that time, roughly 2,000 protesters had been killed in the government’s crackdown on dissent.

As the Trump administration moved to coordinate a military response, tens of thousands more protesters were slaughtered. While an exact death toll is impossible to verify, estimates range from 30,000 to 40,000.

The true number may be even higher. On January 27, The Guardian published an article titled, “Disappeared bodies, mass burials and ‘30,000 dead’: what is the truth of Iran’s death toll?” According to the report, “Testimony from medics, morgue and graveyard staff reveal[ed] a vast state effort to conceal the systematic killing of protesters.”

That was five weeks ago. And even with the regime-enforced internet blackout that has limited reporting, we know that February was an especially bloody month in Iran.

Those figures are comparable to the number of Palestinians the Left claims were killed in Gaza since the start of the Israel–Hamas war, yet I don’t hear liberals calling it a genocide. In fact, most of those who so aggressively denounced Israel’s efforts to defend itself against Hamas’ stated aim of wiping the country off the map have remained conspicuously silent as the Iranian regime has carried out mass murders to crush the growing rebellion.

The New York Times reported that Iranians took to the streets to celebrate when Khamenei’s death was announced: “displays of exuberance broke out in cities across the country.”

In video calls with The New York Times, three residents of Tehran showed the scenes unfolding in their neighborhoods: Large crowds of men and women dancing and cheering, shouting, “Woohoo, hurrah.” Drivers passing by honked their car horns. Fireworks lit up the sky and loud Persian dance music filled the streets. Many residents, from their windows and balconies, joined in a chant of “freedom, freedom.”

In Los Angeles, which has a large Iranian American population, jubilant crowds rejoiced over the news. CNN reported:

Crowds in Los Angeles erupted in celebration following the news of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death. Among the voices echoing through the crowd was the call for Reza Pahlavi, the son of the shah, to return and lead a temporary government, with hopes of holding a referendum to reshape Iran’s future.

Videos of celebrations throughout the U.S. have flooded social media since the bombs began to fall.

I’ll leave you with The Wall Street Journal’s troubling obituary for Ayatollah Khamenei, a man who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. Borrowing from The Washington Post’s 2019 obituary of terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Journal described Khamenei as “an austere cleric.”

It began:

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the austere cleric who ruled Iran for more than three decades and reshaped the balance of power across the Middle East through confrontation with the West, has died during U.S. and Israeli strikes against his country. He was 86.

What were they thinking?

The Washington Post’s obituary for Khamenei was even worse:

    Don’t be f’in stupid, naive and gullible.

    Iran has never seriously negotiated in earnestness, good faith and with peaceful intent, since the 1979 revolution.

    You’re so pitifully stupid, you don’t understand what the nature of Islamic “holy war” jihad is or means, as practiced by the evil Islamofascist Iranian regime. Deceit and insincerity in dealing with non-Muslim “infidels” are cornerstones of the jihadists’ tactical repertoire.

    Iran has been sponsoring global terrorism, in innumerable attacks against U.S. and allied interests, since 1979, including the attack on U.S. Marine barracks in Lebaon, in 1983. An ass-kicking reckoning was decades overdue.

    You’d be happy to see these goose-stepping, genocidal religious fanatics achieve their nuclear weapons ambitions, which they’ve never ceased pursuing, despite all of their transparent diplomatic charades and chicanery.

    Idiot.

        Because we’re the good guys. We don’t slaughter innocent protestors and we haven’t promoted a world wide terror campaign that has targeted and murdered even more. We tried negotiations. That failed. And President Trump has chosen to take decisive action that does not include gifting pallets of cash and green lighting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

        You must have missed the part of the story where Iran had enough Uranium to build 11 nuclear weapons. All they needed was more time to refine it, they already had the missiles to deliver it.

    People that raise Epstein are projecting. How pathetic that they would go to war as a diversion. Sick! Congrats for showing yet again the sickness of TDS.

          You must not know much about what’s in the Files if you think that the Epstein class (including its Mossad connections) don’t have the power to compel Trump to do this. Recall, too, how hard he fought to prevent release of the files in the first place, and how the DOJ is illegally withholding half of the files, taking others down, and redacting names of powerful people.

          Of course, LI wants you not to see any of that.

          Speaking out of your butt. You have no clue, yet act like YOU have seen everything. The fact that you raise Epstein as why Trump acted is the most idiotic thing of all. Pure TDS. Just because you would do that does not mean others would. Again, sick!

    It might be, but that’s not exactly what happened here. The strikes surprised no one. Trump repeatedly warned that unseriousness at the bargaining table would result in military action. This was accompanied by weeks of military buildup in the region. The negotiations weren’t a ruse conducted by the US, they were used as a ruse by which the Iranians hoped to convince the world that their nuclear program is “peaceful.”

    Also, Iran has been waging a low-intensity war against the US for 47 years. The US (which didn’t start the war (it allowed the mullahs to take power and seize American hostage with no military response) would have obviously reserved the right to respond military at a time and place of its choosing. The US didn’t ask for this war, the Iranian mullahs did.

    Unfortunately, Iran’s (former) leadership was composed of the type of people who couldn’t just hear “the stove is hot.” They had to touch it.

      Everything he has said is garbage.
      1) The negotiations weren’t sham on our part. On Iran not so much,
      2) This was not a sneak attack. Movements of US forces into the area were well publicized
      in the media and Trump warned what would happen in the negotiations failed.
      3) There is no evidence that Epstein is an Israel intelligence asset. Such claims are put
      forward by antisemites. They’ve been debunked by both Israel and US. It is true that
      Epstein had connections with Israel political figures. That isn’t the same. It’s like saying
      Epstein was a US intelligence asset because he had connections with US politicians.

        Pretty hard to sneak a couple of carrier groups anywhere. It’s a very blatant “play ball or SHTF” moment for anyone that will listen. Trump isn’t Obama/Biden. He will negotiate as long as he thinks a deal is on the table and then walk. Iran didn’t listen because even after last year they still think Obama and Biden are in the WH ready to bend over and take it at every opportunity sending pallets of cash while doing it. Maybe they thought Trump wouldn’t do anything even after last year and Venezuela which was, like, last week. Who knows.

        Guess what? Trump hit them last year and gave them a stark warning on their nuclear ambitions not to mention their funding terrorists throughout the mid east and across the world. They decided to ignore the warning, our top of the line fighter jets entering the Mid East airspace, two carrier groups and went flying past the FA straight into the FO.

        Iran struck Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Israel, Cyprus and tried to hit Australia. Imagine if those were nuclear tipped missiles.

        I might agree with that IF you applied the same criteria to Trump who has refused to distance himself as well since he IS POTUS right now. I personally don’t understand the desire for person A to denounce the statements of person B. That’s something the d/prog do;
        ‘oh Mr Candidate this other person said X or did Y (which we have decided is bad) do you wanna take this opportunity to denounce the things this other person said or did despite the fact we know you didn’t say it/do it and by implication you’re a bad person if you refuse’? Bump that and doubly so for extortion of withholding votes over it which may just tip the balance of power to the d/prog who by any reasonable analysis will be far worse for not just the USA but for Israel and might place luminaries like Rep Omar and Rep Talib into key Committee assignments or Lord forbid, A cabinet position.

        Vance is gonna place the interests of the USA before any other Nation, to include ‘allies’ even more so than Trump. That’s a shift demanded by the center/right populists which form the basis for MAGA, Tea Party back to Perot. It puts every other Nation on the same footing for constant reevaluation of whether they are demonstrating they remain a key ally or whether they are coasting on outdated reputation while undermining the USA as Britain is doing now.

          Well I’m not a Trump enthusiast so it is easy for me to apply it to Trump. As I said before all anyone of those people need to do is say TC is my friend but I disagree with what he has said about Israel and I’m actually appalled by it. All I’m looking for is some acknowledgement and some disagreement. He doesn’t need to throw him completely under the bus although he should frankly.

          I was thinking of the question today whether I would choose Israel or the Muslim countries as a primary ally. Israel offers values that our close to ours and high technology in a variety of spheres. The Muslim countries offer what? Oil/Gas which
          we need less of? And? They aren’t democracies. Their values aren’t ours. What Turkey Pakistan Egypt Saudia Arabia etc… offer us other than headaches and subversion? As long as we can get our fossil fuels from elsewhere who needs them? I’d choose Israel.

          ztakddot,

          You say it is easy to apply to Trump but this is at least the third time you’ve posted specifically about Vance needing to make some sort of distancing/denounce TC statement or risk losing your vote and the votes of others. You’ve not once led with Trump as the sitting President who’s refused on several occasions when directly asked by legacy media to distance himself from TC.

          I am likewise not a Trump loyalist captured by the ‘Orange Man Good’ version of TDS. I do believe he is the best President of the post Cold War era, probably ends up as the best in post WWII era. He ain’t perfect but dang he’s really good. His 2A policies leave much to be desired. His overly permissive stance on work/student visa is not good. Lack of commitment to cutting current year spending is an issue. Pretty much every other major issue he’s B+ or above.

          Th current political climate has the center/right populists ascendant. They place the well being of the middle 70% of the Nation the portion between the top 15% and bottom 15% as the priority. Every policy, domestic, foreign to include existing alliances is viewed through the prism of ‘does X policy or Y action directly benefit the broad middle-class’. Not in an amorphous way but in a concrete direct way. Its a big change from the past decades of corporatism where it was more a question of does it benefit the corporate ownership class and the underlying globalist rules based order created in the post WWII era. Every alliance and every ally should be reevaluated on the basis of what are they doing today not yesterday and whether we have a true need for an alliance with them v force of habit b/c ‘its always been this way’.

          I never see stories about Trump and TC so I don’t comment on any relationship.
          Look I was a never Trumper until the democrats pissed me off after unfairly targeting Trump and friends during Biden regime. Most unfair most ridiculous most undemocratic actions I’ve ever seen. So I voted for him. I’ve been satisfied with some things he’s done and puzzled/unsatisfied with others. If he plays footsie with antisemites or borderline antisemites I’m not going to be happy but there isn’t much I can do about it. Almost everyone is impotent when it comes to the words and actions of politicians and being impotent never sits well with me.

          TC’s descent into madness has had stories and comments written about it and his relationships to Vance and Kelley are well known so I commented about them primarily because that’s the future. Too much has already been ceded to the antisemites in the present without pushback and that needs to stop.

          Tell you what, the first time Vance himself does something truly antisemitic I’ll join shoulder to shoulder with you in opposition to him. I doubt that happens b/c he, like most of us in the center/right populist movement put the tribal affiliation far below the merit of the individual b/c tribe really doesn’t matter execpt to those who insist on viewing everything through a tribalist prism. America First isn’t antisemitic, arguing that we should spend less $ on foreign Nations isn’t antisemitic, advocating that any Nation which wishes to be an ally of the USA should be a net positive for the USA across military, diplomatic and economic domains isn’t antisemitic. Returning to Washington’s admonition about avoiding ‘entangling alliances’ and reviewing ALL our alliances on this basis isn’t antisemitic or anti British for that matter and the current UK govt seems hell bent on poisoning the long standing ‘special relationship’. No Nation should be beyond review under a universal criteria.

Nobody ever mentions that Trump was heavily critical of his political opposition, insinuating for years that the Democrats would drag us into conflict with Iran. Stephen Miller said as much as recently as 2024. Now they beat the drums of war and we conveniently forget that particular promise.

You can delight all you want in, let’s be honest, Israeli victories, but Trump won a lot of independents over on the promise of a focus on domestic policy and no foreign wars. It turned out to be a trojan horse to rally warhawks and neocons to a cause that will kill more Americans, spend more money, and line more pockets. It’s stupid to act surprised when the people you lied to don’t want to trust you with anything. That’s been the story of this second term.

    This will save money and lives in the long run. Iran having a nuclear weapon is a non starter for peace. It was past due to make it clear that no Iranian leader will survive with one in hand or an attempt to acquire/develop one.

    First, this is not Trump’s war. This is Carter’s war, for allowing the Shah to fall and the mullahs to take charge. Since then, Iran has been engaged in a low-intensity war with western powers generally, and with the US and Israel specifically that no president before now (including Reagan) saw fit to end. Trump is doing what should have been done earlier, and that someone would have had to do later.

    Second, because of the realities cited above, preventing an aggressive, terror-exporting country run by mullahs with a martyr complex seeking to arm themselves with nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, is American first, if for no other reason than allow those mullahs go attain the ability to strike American with nuclear weapons is decidedly “America last.” (And for Trump not giving a shit what the rest of the world thinks, and just doing what he thought right without consulting with the useless UN nor the feckless Congress.)

    “America first” doesn’t mean isolationism or non-interventionism. It means both refraining from doing that which isn’t in American interests and doing what is in American interests. Regime change in Iran falls into the latter category and is therefore consistent with “America first.”

    Trojan horse? How flippant the critics are. How easily they disregard history. No solutions of their own. A lot like the Autopen crowd. Let’s wait another 47 years and hope it works out. No clue that there are other players in the game.

    I’m sorry
    Here’s the translation

    Translated: “Atefah Sahaaleh, 16 years old, was hanged by the Iranian regime. Her crime? She was raped.”

Iran has been conducting a proxy-war against the United States for half a century. They’ve directly and indirectly killed and maimed thousands of US soldiers and dozens (if not hundreds) of US civilians. They repeatedly state they will wipe us off the map, and against all international pressure they continue to pursue nuclear weapons. Given their track record of arming islamic fundamentalist nutjob terror groups, does anyone seriously think they wouldn’t try to nuke us if they had the bomb?

Given that background, how could anyone who isn’t either a gaslighting c*nt or a fu*king moron, or perhaps a moronic gaslighting c*nt, argue that decapitating the mullah regime is not “America first?” The real quest is “what the f*ck have the prior administrations been up to vis-a-vis Iran, and why?”

    One of Trump’s greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists — as many as you can, whenever you can.

    There are entire university departments, think tanks, media outlets, NGOs, foundations, and political parties devoted to promoting self-defeating, enervating fictions about terrorism designed to tie the hands of the West. We just have to live with it, deal with it, accommodate it, accept the barbarism. Terrorists have grievances. It’s partly our fault, after all, because reasons. There are no military solutions. If we’re nice to the terrorists they will actually help us stabilize the region. The tropes go on forever and they are invented by people who want the west to lose, and who would rather be wrong but appear sophisticated than be right and appear crude.

    Trump wants our side to win. The winning approach to terrorism is very simple. Bomb them to smithereens. Kill them off. Decapitate the regimes. Sanction them until they have no more money for jihad. Trump gets it, because unlike so many people in politics, he doesn’t care whether Harvard likes him.

    Winning is going to generate a real peace dividend for America. Finally dealing with Iran — the head of the snake — will enable the US to step away from the Middle East. It will send a message to our adversaries that the big dog is still in charge. And very enjoyably, it will sweep aside decades of dumb elite groupthink about how we have no alternative but to cut deals with terrorists. Thank you President Trump.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) reminded the host that Greene once pushed “Jewish space lasers”

She didn’t, really. That was a Democrat parody of what admittedly was a stupid message that she stupidly retweeted, much like Tina Fey’s infamous parody of Sarah Palin, portraying her as having said she could see Russia from her house. The original message was incredibly stupid, but not antisemitic, unless you think that every reference to the Rothschilds is antisemitic just because many are.

    You can split hairs on what constitutes War, military actions etc and what our Founding Fathers intent was when writing The Constitution but at least Massie is honest in his interpretation of the Constitution and where he stands. Others, just riding whatever wave they think is popular at the moment.
    This pull and push between the Executive Branch goes back to the Tripoli pirates. President Jefferson took quite a bit of unilateral action but reported to Congress and specifically requested permission to go further. Where that line between acting and then informing Congress asking for further permission on future actions has not been settled. Congress has attempted to pass legislation clarifying it but we are where we are today.

TC has lost the plot on this. Iran has long been an enemy of the USA. This is (I hope) the USA resetting the board in the middle east by obliterating the largest state sponsor of terrorism and setting the conditions for the Iranian people to regain control from the regime. Stability, real not temporary, is a genuine possibility. That ultimately means LESS US military assets in the region are required b/c the prior conditions which made them necessary have been mooted…and that means more resources available in our own hemisphere to reestablish hegemony and secure the homeland v deployments half a world away. That is absolutely ‘America First’.

Massie deserves a pass on whacky claims about his motives b/c he’s very consistent in his opposition to the use of military without specific Congressional approval. I disagree with him about the use here, it’s totally justified as a matter of policy and doesn’t run afoul of the Constitution b/c the Executive can act on a limited basis without Congressional approval.

      Massie is consistent on the principles he holds. I personally respect that he does so even when I may disagree. It’s a nice change from many others in DC who view everything as ‘my team good, other team bad’. That’s how the establishment keeps putting off tough decisions and selling themselves to various lobbyists. It’s a similar dynamic to the d/prog reflexively jumping feet first in opposition to Trump policies just b/c ‘Orange Man bad’.

      As for cooperation… that’s how the sausage gets made. Politics is the art of the possible and achieved by negotiation, compromise and ‘art of the deal’. We don’t have a parliamentary system we have a representative democracy and each Rep and each Senator is supposed to be thinking for themselves and their constituents not simply handing over blind loyalty to the party bosses.

“But these individuals appear to be missing something. Since 1979, Iran’s evil regime and its determination to acquire nuclear weapons have destabilized the region — and the world. Designated the world’s top sponsor of terrorism, Iran and its network of proxy militias are responsible for killing and wounding thousands of U.S. service members throughout the Middle East.”

They’re not missing anything.

The ones purely in it for the money don’t care.

The real radicals approve because they are certain the USA is evil and consider any entity trying to destroy the USA to be their ally. They are the disciples of the Leftists who at “anti (Vietnam) war” rallies in the 1960s applauded speakers announcing how many US casualties there had been so far. Those evil people weren’t “anti-war.” They were communists who hated Western Civilization. (Don’t believe anyone who claims that never happened. I saw it myself on Lower Sproul Plaza in Berkeley.)

The rest may not hate so strongly, they may well look forward to a nice life battening off the civilization they intend to help, in Obama’s words, totally transform. (English translation: destroy and replace. Just like their jihadi allies.)

But they devoutly believe No Enemies To The Left.

Talk about self-destructive egos. Tucker and the other self-aggrandizing idiots just bet their careers on President Trump failing. While it’s possible the Iran attack will backfire on the President, the odds are against it. His opponents to the right, however, are so addicted to the attention they crave that they placed a bet which will likely remove them from the public awareness altogether. I know that they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, but didn’t think them to be too stupid to drool without a spotter. My bad. . It just shows that you can’t ever underestimate a political careerist.
