During Republican presidencies you are guaranteed more wars and economic recession.
Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

she is absolutely not.
Not that Noem would've said or done anything different, but Markwayne is gonna be leading DHS and ICE during the midterms.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
![An Iranian warship destroyed in a US torpedo strike on Wednesday was "defenceless" and participating in an international naval exercise as a guest of the Indian navy, according to reports.
Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said “the Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk [sic] part in our Milan exercise”. Sibal added that because it was taking part in an exercise “it was defenceless”.
Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: "These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us.
"US submarine targeted their ship and killed them while they were returning home."
Shrinate also criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his failure to make a statement on the attack.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:evgc4ukadedre3gwsiwygkpz/bafkreiblljxh6wfsnwpcyuuykp42qaz7mwrn7e2btsx3be2rahy3lrxxxi@jpeg)

The Iranian warship that was bombed by the US was unarmed

We don’t hate the for-profit beltway media enough.
Phil posted this link on the other site and, as you might imagine, the URL to the actual Miami Herald article is getting throttled.
Probably just a coincidence that a damning article that provides another example of the GOP’s Nazi problem is getting blocked!
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.
Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.
again, if we've been at war for 50 years then bill barr needs to go to prison for treason. I don't make the rules! bsky.app/profile/donm...
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
lol at Dan Crenshaw losing

Ah,
These charges were not similar. Peters literally stole an innocent person’s identity and used it to illegally access systems protected by state law. And she remains unrepentant to this day.
they really might have ridden the anti-woke train all the way to bankruptcy court, an all time brand fuckup that should be taught as a cautionary tale in business school for decades
This is where his "boost the stock market" instincts run up against tactical prudence.
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
A crucial variable in this war is whether these monarchies start running out of interceptors before the Iranian regime runs out of projectiles.
At current burn rates, it could be very soon.

they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”
Lmao the GOP operatives with black robes are back at it again
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

the very ethics of PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM absolutely require that you lie in the first place. You have to pass along opinions that you know are wrong or hateful out of so-called objectivity but worse than that you then get to feel proud about doing so. www.welcometohellworld.com/youre-perfor...
the plan, such as it is, appears to be “bomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victory”
this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it “works”
Absolutely incredible. Weeks of war without any vote in Congress. And the current regime may largely be left in place. This isn't just a war of choice. It's a vanity war. If this is allowed to stand, our country is in real trouble.
The IRI will in all likelihood still exist and a dozen or more US troops and hundreds if not thousands of Arabs, Iranians, Pakistanis, and migrant workers will be dead for the aberrant, spasmic, nonsensical ricocheting mind of this decaying corpse of a man.
Putin is cold, man. His allies in Iran are getting slaughtered and he ... moves in to make up for their share on the global oil market.
