Anybody else rootin' for the Iranians?

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

World U.S. submarine torpedoes Iranian ship in Indian Ocean, reportedly killing at least 87 sailors Attack off coast of Galle, Sri Lanka, set off rescue efforts Thomson Reuters Posted: Mar 04, 2026 6:36 AM PST | Last Updated: March 4 Listen to this article i Estimated 4 minutes Workers in Galle, Sri Lanka, on Wednesday unload the bodies of Iranian sailors from a vehicle, after they were killed when the IRIS Dena warship sank outside Sri Lanka's territorial waters.

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Democratic leadership needs to expel this lumbering fuckwit from the party so he can get the mental assistance he so clearly desperately needs

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout.

No fucking Nazi shit. Period.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

based on a survey of Guys I Fucking Know, they mostly join the military because they want to go to college or see the world or get health care for their families. the people who just wanted, specifically, to kill someone (not a specific person, just in a "life goals: murder" sense) all became cops

They left out the United States of America

The Iranian schoolgirls, not so much, eh?

that's one of the funniest feckin' things I've ever seen!

Tonight’s state of the union.

Part two

Someone made a 4 minute song about why you should hate Curtis Yarvin.

I had to post it in two parts.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Alaska legislator's chief of staff arrested on child sex crime charges Federal agents arrested Craig Scott Valdez, 36, early Friday in Juneau, according to court documents.

Valdez is an Anchorage resident listed as having served as Republican Wasilla state Sen. George Rauscher’s chief of staff since November. He was arrested Friday in Juneau.

The decision honestly is a nice taxonomy of the court. The liberals who are right about everything, the conservatives who are wrong but reasonable sometimes, the conservative who is wrong but interesting, and the two utter fascists.

Although I firmly disagree with the Court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case—albeit perhaps with a few additional procedural steps that IEEPA, as an emergency statute, does not require. Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and

301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338). In essence, the Court today concludes that the President checked the vrong statutory box by relying on IEEPA rather than

Kavanaugh basically tells Trump how to do just that!

This is truly sickening. I weep for his victims. Imagine seeing your rapist’s face on the actual Department of Justice.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

If you're not 100% we will imprison every one of these Nazis you don't get my vote.

FLASHBACK — 1988: @schumer.senate.gov brags about blocking the "Jackson plank”, a DNC platform item by Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign which would’ve supported Palestinian self-determination.

This gal is great

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

You do understand I was not proposing that as an actual policy, but literally responding to a post, yes?

I'll go you one better. Everybody gets one "get out of jail free" card. The world gets a whole lot politer, because you never know if whoever you're interacting with has used theirs...

Petition to make "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future" the opening paragraph on every legal brief going forward.

you mispelled "guillotines"
