I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

β€œWe destroyed 30 ships.” Does that mean ships can pass through the strait of Hormuz? β€œWe dropped dozens of 2K bombs on underground launchers.” Does that mean commercial airliners can fly through?

The number of Americans with the blood of innocent children on their hands...not only everyone directly involved, but everyone who paved the way for Trump's return

This never should have happened.

One of the reasons I washed out of The Bear is because they allowed this guy, one of the most renowned assholes of cooking, to waltz on set (on a show about the trauma guys like him cause!) and play-act as a wise, calm, and caring mentor.

Just lying to our faces. It's obscene.

How bad are things right now?

peepeepoopoo has more insight into international affairs than anyone surrounding Trump right now.

That's how bad.

About 1.7% of the human population have a genetic makeup that do not fit the typical binary (XXY, X, XYY, etc). That's *more* than the population estimated to have autogynophilia.

This is just rank bigotry atop rank idiocy.

It's Oklahoma, so no need to get our hopes up too much, but this is going to set up a special election and make the GOP defend turf in an environment they'd rather not have to. So that's good.

Man used to be my senator. The resentment is real and earned.

Tom Cotton is 48 years old. I think it's safe to say he's been imminently on the door to the gates of hell for the vast majority of that time.

It makes me so mad how few Americans realize that right now the only thing keeping the global economy from falling off a cliff is the partially decapitated leadership of an adversary being more responsible in the application of violence than our own government.

No, it’s worse.

It’s a war without a political objective.

Plenty of wars have opened without a clear plan to reconcile desired ends with available means, we may be the first country to go to war without even a basic concept of victory.

War for the memes. War for the vibes. War for the Warriors.

A very cool thing about getting on the internet in the late 90s, early 00s, was you got to meet people different from you in different places as long as you shared a language and an interest. And there's this moment where it seemed like we were all just going to become loving and peaceful that way.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Look, history isn't going to end after Trump is gone, but a decade from now people are *still* going to talk about how badly Trump and the GOP fumbled the bag in 24-26. They were on the cusp of locking in gains w POC voters + a decentish segment of Gen Z.

All lost now. The snapback will be brutal.

Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

Do we know if she was under oath when she insisted that all the relevant laws had been followed when awarding this contract?

What you get when you think being *merely* anti-trump is sufficient to your political survival.

it's also actually quite normal for the average soldier to not be elected senator. feels like maybe we should set the bar higher, idk.
