Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild
Remember when words communicated concepts which could be combined to express ideas? Those were the days. I miss language.
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"
you cant teach this. either you have it or you don't.

Trump Says Heβs βNever Discussedβ Reports of Taliban Bounties With Russian President Vladimir Putin
βI have never discussed it with him,β Trump. Trump said. βThat was a phone call to discuss other things, and frankly thatβs an issue that many people said was fake news."

Wait but Trump made American soldiers get on their knees to roll out the red carpet for Putin! I thought that would surely make him respect us
Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."
Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
'Unconditional surrender':
- Surviving Nazi leaders to Allies, 1945.
- Japan to Allies, 1945, with "condition" of emperor staying on throne.
- Saddam Hussein to Schwarzkopf, 1991, with some conditions.
Zero resemblance to anything she is talking about.
Trump's eyes are closed as Mike Johnson speaks
What kind of dumb shit take is this?!
Kamala Harris dropped an "unburdened by what has been" at Jesse Jackson's eulogy
graphic with the quote, "When a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it's front-page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's response to US troops dying
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
...and there it is. Putin got exactly what he wanted.
We bombed the fuck out of Iran, knowing that there are sleeper cells.
What is even happening?
Yes, and the sleeper cells here are the Republican Party.
I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
In case you're wondering, far-right influencers like Nick Fuentes now think Donald Trump's personalist brand of authoritarianism is too selfish and lazy to bring about the kind of dictatorship they've been dreaming of. www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...
Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:
"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."
"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I donβt know how the US is going to come back from this.
