“Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson’s last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department’s Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).

Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs at the George Washington University.”

“In a devastating blow to LGBT rights, Iraq’s parliament has passed a law making same-sex relations punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The amendments to the 1988 anti-prostitution law, approved by 170 of 329 lawmakers, also enable courts to sentence transgender people to three years in jail, codifying discrimination that had previously been carried out through vague morality laws. While an earlier draft had proposed the death penalty for homosexuality, the new provisions still represent a “horrific development and an attack on human rights,” according to Human Rights Watch’s Sarah Sanbar. The law sets a minimum 7-year sentences for “promoting” same-sex relations and 1-3-year terms for men who “intentionally” act like women. “Iraq has effectively codified in law the discrimination and violence members of the LGBT community have been subjected to with absolute impunity for years,” lamented Amnesty’s Razaw Salihy. The draconian crackdown, which postponed the vote until after the prime minister’s U.S. visit to avoid impacting investment, stokes fears that “kidnappings, rapes, torture and murders” of LGBT Iraqis will further escalate with impunity.”

So…in other words…Iraq is back to its old, barbaric bullshit…What the hell were we carrying this country for decades for?

“Today, we’re talking about fundamentalist/evangelical YouTuber Big Nik and (supposedly) Muslim redpill guy Andrew Tate. It seems our boy Large Nicholas is quite offended at Tate’s remarks on Christians being soyboys. At the end, Large Nicholas shows us a beautifully touching response to the whole saga by Mar Mari Emmanuel himself. Naturally, I have some comments. #skeptic #religion #orthodox #australia #politics #liberal #lgbt #gay #trans #queer #catholic #mormon #islam #allah #god #jesus”

Andrew Tate is a really, really painfully low bar…But it’s always amusing to see this sort of takedown.
