Meh, we (and the Brits) overthrew their democratic(-ish) government and installed a puppet king. That kinda helped.

Sure, not to sanction interventions, but Iran was rapidly becoming modern and women were gaining freedom. It was nice to have a friendly nation next to the USSR as well during the cold war and it all fell apart so easily.
Old Man With Candy
Let’s be honest- this was after Mossadegh basically took dictatorial control of the government, nationalized (i.e., stole) the oil industry that others had paid to build, then cancelled elections when the opposition party was clearly going to win.
It’s the Middle East. So more ish than democratic.

He was an asshole, but the Shah tried really hard to be more of an asshole.
Yet another one of the CIA’s glorious success stories.
Gadfly
Also to add, the CIA/MI6 didn’t install the Shah in 1953 – he was already in power, the westerners merely aided his coup to oust the Prime Minister and install a PM that would be subservient to the Shah. This event is often conflated with the coup of 1941, when a joint British-Soviet invasion deposed the previous Shah (his father, who was friendly towards the Germans) and installed him so that the Iranian railroads could be used by the British to supply the Soviets so they could resist the Nazi invasion.
tarran
I don’t think that is correct; the coup initially failed, and the Rezah Shah actaully fled the country in a panic thinking that he was a dead man, and had to be dragged back to his palace.
Those aren’t the actions of someone “in power”.
Gadfly
Fair point. I had forgot he fled, so it’s probably fairer to say that his faction was in power rather than he himself. I still think it wrong to claim that the US/UK installed him in ’53, as he was king before the coup and king afterward, and most of the coup was accomplished by his own supporters, albeit prompted in part by foreign cash.

The decision fulfills one of Mr. Trump’s oft-repeated campaign promises, and came despite intense personal lobbying by European leaders and frantic attempts to craft fixes to the deal that would satisfy him.
Fetch me my fainting couch! A politician actually followed through on a campaign promise.

It came up in a thread last week as an auto-correct of Hornitos.
Three black people plan to sue a Southern California police department over what they say was an excessive response to a racially motivated 911 call, but police say their officers’ response was polite, brief and nothing out of the ordinary.
The Rialto Police Department said Monday it had received notice of legal action by the three, who were leaving an Airbnb rental with their luggage when a neighbor called police on April 30 to report a burglary in progress.
——–
Georgetown University law professor and former prosecutor Paul Butler, who wrote the book “Chokehold: Policing Black Men,” says African-Americans bear the brunt of proving their innocence no matter how mundane the activity.
“The standard for an extreme law enforcement response to black people is very low,” he said. “All you have to do is be waiting in a Starbucks or playing golf in Pennsylvania, or now, moving your luggage out of an Airbnb rental. That’s literally all you have to do.”
See something, say something! Busybody neighbor calls cops, probably because she’s pissed about having AirBnB for a neighbor; ooh, established pattern of police calls and disturbances means we can shut them down.
Cops show up and act like assholes, because cops. Cops’ statement says they very graciously neither handcuffed nor threatened to shoot the renters.
Self-promoting professional race baiter jumps into the fray.
I hate everybody.

I’m going to have to go against the consensus here. I think consent includes consenting to the specific individual and this should be prosecutable as rape. The woman was foolish, but she, and this scumbag’s other victims, never consented to have sex with him. He posed as a man she was interested in, convinced her to tie herself up and blindfold herself to wait for that man.

Hey Riven, I actually followed through and started writing another coffee article this morning. I’ll post it to submissions when it’s through.
Nice! I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Not so much recognize as be drawn to each other.
LOL good stuff.
Awesome. These are really terrific. And the hat with the drawn on eyes and mouth/mustache in the later portion was terrific.
That ain’t no mouth!
My bad. I should have known that was the God Emperor’s signature.
