Modern Republicanism is making up a thing to be scared about and then using that as the basis for policy
I feel like Iβve had to be loudly anti-war since I was 19.
βNon-diverse participantsβ is the euphemism of the year
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasnβt gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies itβs βthe right of the people,β not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesnβt understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.
It is a weakness of our system that the murder of 160 schoolchildren does not result in an immediate dissolution of the government.
Any other American paid for their services for almost any type of work would be fired on the spot for a response of this nature.
Fire him, charge him for his war crimes at MINIMUM, then put him in a cell.
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girlβs school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
/2 I still think it is astounding and a sign of the moral rot of institutions that the focus is on him being friendly with Epstein and not specifically on conspiring with Epstein, convicted sex offender, how to take advantage of a younger and less powerful colleague he calls a racial slur.
Over nine hours, KΔ«lauea released 16 million cubic yards of lava and sent a cloud of ash beyond 30,000 feet
I don't go in for most media-bashing on here, but this new thing where Trump calls access reporters during trading hours and gives them the SCOOP that the war's about to end is pretty egregious.
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
Billionairesβ % share of federal election spending in:
2008: 0.3%
2024: 19%

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter itβs also incredibly stupid.
The Democrats!
I think every single day about βThe ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks donβt.β
Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same
Impeach, remove. All of this is illegal and no one voted for it.
This is how it is done. Bier does not back down at all.
Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as βpointlessβ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Puts things into perspective real quick. #sagan
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Someone needs to draft an impeachment article and force a vote.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
I propose that in october we permanently shift all clocks back by only 30 minutes & then fucking leave them there forever after. And if you think that's somehow more absurd than the DST/SDT dance, please take a deep breath and remember that clock time is fake & was invented for trains. It'll be fine
The correction fails to air the real footage or inform viewers what was different about it. It claims the error was inadvertent and pretends to honor the fallen service members, but at the end of the day Fox still doesnβt show or describe how they came home to spare Trump from its viewersβ scrutiny.
Among the many infuriating things about these guys is their endless obscene macho posturingβto the point of admitting war crimes because it sounds toughβthen instantly cowering at a select few dictators like Putin instead of remaining macho with something like "we're giving Ukraine nukes."
