[He was the legitimate head of state]

I know there will be champagne corks going off in Washington and Tel Aviv, but this is very sad. He was the legitimate head of state on a diplomatic mission. And the world has only Iran's restraint to thank for the fact that WWIII didn't break out after the wanton attack on its embassy last month.

Let’s not pretend that the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the head of anything really.

Don't nitpick. That's just his title. Head of state, head of government. We all know he's not the most powerful but like you said, he was a leading candidate to successor and this event could have impacts on Iranian internal politics as well. It remains to be seen what.

Oh I’m sure the old theocrats will find another stooge to be the next Supreme Leader, if it’s instability you’re worried about.

I'd be happy if they were all lined up against a wall and shot. Provided it meant change in a positive direction. This isn't that. It's just a tragedy.

Sorry but someone who personally authorized executing 5,000 political prisoners in 1988 dying is not a tragedy.

Rest in Piss

Who knows whether the actual result will bear out what the state polls are telling us, but Biden's comparative resilience in Rust Belt polling is the most interesting trend in US politics.

I don't know whether this has more to do with who feels that Biden is delivering for them (and who doesn't), Trump's appeal having shifted toward Sun Belt demographics since 2016, or changes to the states themselves.

That Trump will be running as a Florida Man, rather than as a New Yorker, is the cherry on top of it all. Instead of Queens vs. Manhattan, it's Palm Beach vs. Rehoboth Beach.

It has very little to do with what state Trump is from it has to do with inflation, there is a reason why Trump is ahead of Biden rents are too high and unemployment is up. People got lazy again and stop working. I have a roommate that's given up on finding a job

I would add a lack of sexual activity to reasons why some men have little to no respect for women. My wife and I engage in healthy, explosive lovemaking on a daily basis, after even the most grueling day at the office. You'll pardon me if I don't elaborate but I have no wish to share the most intimate details of my marriage with a crass and vulgar readership. If that disappoints you, so be it.

He's not dead guys, he has simply entered Occultation.

Now this is quality posting. The rest of you need to aspire to this.

Bizarre that the most obviously true part of his speech - “Being a mother and homemaker is important and rewarding, and you shouldn’t let your career get in the way of that if it’s what you really want” - is the most controversial. I’d think that the parts where he explicitly attacks political and church leaders would get more attention.

If he said parent then it wouldn’t have been as controversial. The role of a father is extremely important as well

To add onto this , this even applies to families where the mom is a stay at home mom . My mom was a stay at home mom till I was in high school but that did not mean my mom did all the work in raising me as my dad put in a lot of the work as well .

Most of the people who lecture others about this type of life almost certainly do so because they think it gives them the Excuse to do none of the house work or put in no effort in raising kids and that type of mentality is completely wrong .

Except lecturing others over this type of life is exactly what Harrison butker did.

Agreed

He's not dead guys, he has simply entered a state of Occultation.

Yep, he 100% dead so uh goodbye Mr. Raisi
So what will be the geopolitical consequences, my prediction is that Iran will immediately blame Israel even if it was obvious israel did not do this and cause the situation in the middle east to escalate a lot.
