All the more reason why Team USA taking this super agro, military adjacent persona is so ridiculous. Drink shots of espresso and double kiss your teammates! Wear sombreros and dance! I'm so glad so many of the teams have embraced genuine joy and silliness.

If pizza counts, I'll take one for the team (or against the team, as it were)

When Dems take the Senate majority, all we'll hear is "They can't do that! Everything takes 60 votes in the Senate!" But of course now they supposedly can't stop anything. Don't gaslight us. Which is it?

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid.

The Democrats!

Ah yes, that rigorous YouTube journalistic standard. Good lord, we've become such a stupid society.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Yes, but also we need a system of self-governance where we don't allow a single individual to hold this much power over the rest of us. It is just madness to give one person, any person, this much control over our lives.

And Cardinal McElroy is absolutely correct.

If a Democrat anywhere says something even marginally controversial, Republicans solidify to categorize it as the position of the Democratic Party as a whole, publicize it, and so on.

I sincerely have no idea why Democrats don't do the same about bigotry and religious intolerance by Republicans

Can the world please come start surgery to remove the cancer? Those of us that vastly outnumber the malignant cells will do our jobs...

The time change is awful. This year might have been the worst yet. I hate it, and I don't understand why we don't stop this nonsense.

The thing I think many of us miss from Twitter was that we could interact directly with influential people. We could yell at Pete Docter that he's a bad man. That made us feel a little better. And since those people aren't here, we're just getting information in a vacuum and can't always act on it.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

The United States killed all these children last Saturday.

170 of them.

Every. Single. One.

The entire power elite of the USA owns this savagery forever, including the theoretical opposition party, unless you beat the drums of IMPEACHMENT for Trump immediately and don’t stop until he’s gone. He’s given you 700,000 reasons now and it’s one of the only tools you have. USE IT.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

No, Target. Unless you go hard left and put that on every ad, we're not coming back. Ever.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

living in a walkable city where you can get anywhere you need by walking, by bus, or train is goated in an economic collapsed based entirely on gas prices

I have to second this. A good regional production if you can find one in your area.

Growing up, I heard teachers and other older folks wax poetic about how the US was the best country because of the genius of the framers of the constitution. I think all those people who told me this were gullible at best and idiotic at worst.

We are a rogue state. We are the bad guys. We the people of this country must take control of our government by any means necessary.
