He’s already agreed that the Yanks can use British military bases in the region so I wouldn’t go singing his praises. He’s a useless coward

You think the American and Israeli governments separate religion from government?? My goodness, that would be wonderful but they are also theocracies

I totally understand why Iranians would celebrate the end of the Ayatollah, but thinking that the US and Israel give a damn about Iranians is naive in the extreme

These people were holding up pictures of Pahlavi, Israeli flags, and signs saying ‘thank you Trump’

Watching the Iranians celebrate here in Australia is so jarring.

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Except the French. The Lyonnais specifically. Lyon is called ‘the gastronomic capital of France’, but then you realise that it’s all the traditional dishes of the 16th-century silk weavers who could only afford offal. Totally disgusting 🤢 🤣

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

This one line near the end really stood out to me:

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

Prince Andrew, photographed in a car leaving the police station after his arrest, looking like he was simultaneously hit with a tranquilizer dart and a shock to his testicles, with one red eyeball for good measure. Congratulations to Reuters's Phil Noble for getting this shot.

I laughed out loud. I'm sorry. This picture is going to defy my attempt at alt-text. I know I overuse this word but...astonishing.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.
