    What could go wrong is exactly what I've been thinking for 24 hours. The Ayatollah is still Supreme Leader (always a good choice in titles for a human).

    "Elections" are to be held in seven weeks- So does the guy who screams Death to America and Death to the Jews win in a landslide, or the does a person who says maybe we've gone hardline long enough get the nod.

    I know where my money is.

    But which loon do they install next? It's not like there is a pool of sanity to choose from.

    According to our dementia patient and his State Department and our Hamas lovers, Netanyahu isn't moral enough to be President of Israel and the Euro International Criminal Court sought arrests warrants for Netanyahu but when the Butcher of Tehran has a hard landing, time for Ts & Ps for another fine follower of Islam.

    GREAT MOMENTS IN RADICAL CHIC: The U.S. Response to Iranian President’s Death Is Disgraceful.

    A condensed listing of Raisi’s bloody track record — even before becoming president of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) recaps his barbarism:

    Raisi — the deputy prosecutor general of Tehran from 1985 to 1988 — facilitated the regime’s 1988 slaughter of thousands of jailed political dissidents by serving on a four-member panel known as a Death Commission, which decided who would live and who would die. The commission would conduct interviews of prisoners — often just a few minutes long — aimed at determining their loyalty to the Islamic Republic. Questions could include: “What is your political affiliation?” “Do you pray?” “Are you willing to clear minefields for the Islamic Republic?” The wrong answer meant death.

    The executions were usually by hanging or by firing squad, and typically took place the same day as the interrogations. The commissions allowed neither lawyers nor appeals. Burials occurred in unmarked mass graves. The regime waited months before notifying the relatives of the victims, refused to tell them the locations of the bodies, and told them not to mourn in public. The victims included women and children as young as 13. Raisi has defended the killings, saying in 2018 that they were “one of the proud achievements of the system.”

    What a guy, proud of murdering thousands of innocent Iranians, to mourn. FDD also noted that Raisi’s subsequent posts as deputy chief justice, attorney general, and chief justice allowed him to preside “over the prosecution, imprisonment, torture, and execution of countless detainees.”

    Biden’s State Department formally expressed its “official condolences” in a statement Monday afternoon:

    The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran.  As Iran selects a new president, we reaffirm our support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

    It wasn’t just the State Department that was issuing its condolences to a mass-murderer, of course:

    Raisi was a family man known for upholding the tenants of Islam with what some consider to be harsh measures

    Thoughts and prayers for the Butcher of Tehran who only killed around 50,000 Iranians

    Just don't call it genocide. That's only for Jews offing Hamas murderers and some civilians that elected Hamas and returned the favor by using them as human shields.

    Somehow I don’t think Putin is gonna get the mixed legacy treatment. Nor should he.

    Take a guided tour of the US Capitol after police unluck the doors from the inside and escort people into the building and you get 3-10 years.

    Of course Democrats mourn this death. They wish they could rule like that here.
