There is going to be months if not years of this sort of barbarism coming out.

Those pesky “rules of engagement” that Hegseth says he got rid of are designed to prevent, among other things, the bombing of elementary schools

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. IRC chats where people got slapped with a large trout. Flame wars raging across Usenet groups. Weblogs in the 1990s. I saw permalinks being created. I saw the first comment spam. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

The US lethal attack on a girls school in Minab, that killed about 180 mostly young girls, will forever been connected by the world with Pete Hegseth's pronouncement that "we won't be following any stupid rules of engagement." It's a war crime plain and simple.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?

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

"You're right, my answer was based on outdated information. My bad! I sincerely apologize for targeting hundreds of children, and hope you'll forgive me for the error. Upon further research, I have identified another epic target and launched missiles at the coordinates 33°48'45.9"N 117°55'08.4"W."

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.
