The president of the United States keeps ordering his military to strike civilians, and then ordering them to post videos of it to social media. Congress has even hauled asses into hearings over it.
And people keep calling this "Israel's war."
I want everybody who assumed that it simply had to have been Israel to shut the fuck up for five minutes and think seriously about what precise prejudices led them to that assumption.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
"I'm not into saying I told you so, but we did see it coming."
Ma'am you have every right to say I told you so.

“President Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton…”
VP & Hillary were grinning, I love it.
It’s called “vetting,” asshole. You’re running for a high-profile U.S. Senate seat with zero political experience. Of COURSE they’re gonna dig into your past. That’s standard.
Once again: Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t have a clue how anything works.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
how it feels taking public transit rn
I've always marveled (in horror) at people who see social media as a diary. We need to feel more of a sense of obligation to each other's mental health. You never know if your tossed off "lol it's so over, we're cooked" post, which meant nothing to you, is going to send someone else into a spiral.
I’m sorry, what were you saying about how you couldn’t vote for Harris because you pulled the idea that SHE was going to start a war in the Middle East out of your butt?
Also that recession never happened and there were no mea culpas from those who predicted it
I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now
I am starting to get the feeling that the weird social media dynamics around this are downstream of a bunch of millennial dudes snorting cocaine together in DC
I know I keep saying this, but I get a perverse sense of relief when things like this happen due to the war because oh hey, reality still exists. It’s not all just content. Cause and effect are still a thing. You haven’t totally lost your fragile grip on sanity.
I’ll leave for later why reporters didn’t fact-check - there’s an ugly story there too. But the urgent issue is, Platner would be crushed in the general. It's best to lance the boil now. Here’s the document, sourced and Wikipedia-ready. You should read it. The NRSC sure will. 11/
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
They’re calling it the most wrong anyone has ever been
Jesus Christ.
Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
Although it would be doctrinally impermissible to assert definitively that any particular person is the anti-Christ, he is an anti-Christ.
"Harris held a tighter margin than any other incumbent during a global anti-incumbency wave" is something that is both true and massively rejected by this site because it invalidates like 60% of the Discourse.
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
in a darker way also sense Platner has posts out there defending rape, yes its about stupid unqualified failsons getting to sail through life forever, but its also about punishing women who think qualification, character, or experience matter.
"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."
This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee
Seriously though, Noem not knowing she was fired is more indication that Trump is not just a terrible boss but also a gigantic coward. Despite his public persona he is terrified of personal confrontation and was hoping that a social media post would take care of that for him. Nope!
Important to emphasize that winning the senate will mean Trump can’t just announce on truth social that he’s shitcanning a cabinet secretary in favor of a red faced drunk who looks like he’s made out of pressed ham.
it’s a good day for America when Kristi Noem is bye-bye. However, it is a very bad day for dogs and goats not to mention her “ special” staffer.
