However, it is not very surprising, as in my experience you Europeans like to use us as a stick to smack the US with and then scream at us to shut the fuck up and go away when we suggest you too are not free of sin and owe us a debt of guilt for the fate of our peoples.
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
Slaps $10 down
The people who posted pigshitballs.jpg at you for supporting Connor Lamb really really really enjoy blaming the libs and the establishment for everything based populist stronkman John Fetterman does these days.
I realize it is largely a shitpost, but just to be clear because I have seen people shitpost themselves into insane beliefs before, especially on this app: sincerely making "anti-anime" a cultural signifier of being left of center is an own-goal on par with opposition to video games in the 90's.
And if you think this faction doesn’t have juice in the DNC: this is the faction that got Newsom to tank legislation against caste discrimination overwhelmingly supported by the CA legislature. Look at the careers of the MD Lt. Governor. Hindutva Dems have the juice.
this is a crazy thing to say. i get being upset she didn’t win but there is nothing in talarico’s platforms or positions that warrants saying something like this. the volume of these kind of posts made me do research on him and it’s for this country it’s about as progressive as it’s gonna get
I've also seen a lot of people saying they'll abstain in the general which is nuts to me
"they're pretty much split among women but Platner has a giant edge with men" and "Mills leads with actual Dems but Platner gets a giant edge from self-identified independents" also both in the "really, you don't say?" category
A fun fact is that a hawk missile was used by the french to shoot down a tu-22 in Libya in 1987, marking the world's only known instance of hawk/tu AA
(this was stolen from elsewhere)
trying to think of a way to say this so it doesn't sound like I'm not guilty of this myself: people on this site don't have as much experience as they should with how fuckin weird a lot of everyday people are out there. it leads to very moralistic black-and-white thinking where it doesn't need to
On several issues, Black Baptist church is going to be more conservative than PCUSA. Obv. individual members of both denominations have a plethora of views (and Baptist congregationalism allows for variance), but as an institution, PCUSA is more liberal on LGBTQ rights, women in leadership, and more
The vitriol buttigieg gets from the left is always baffling to me. Genuinely strange
one of the very tiring things about politics from 2015 on is the two tiered system election system where there are real candidates who have to be perfect in every single way and anything in their record any statement can be used to disqualify them
and clown vibe candidates who are never accountable
Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy
Especially since Trump already assassinated Soleimani in his first term and pulled out of the JCPOA! This didn't come out of nowhere! This clearly something that trump has wanted to do for a long time
i get this take, but since cooper is the best ever at running for office in north carolina, i wanted to highlight the best ever at playing basketball. i am now gonna walk the dog and get a snack, excited to see what my mentions look like in a few minutes. bsky.app/profile/toxt...
Somehow he didn’t perceive someone coming from his right
Jared Polis @jaredpolis •52m Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official. She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild Show more • 43 {7 12 • 30 sam @sam_d 1995 X.com first you defend RFK Jr.'s anti-vaxx insanity and now you're considering pardoning an unrepentant election denier who illegally attempted to overturn our free and fair elections? what is wrong with you, man?
polis is probably going to unfollow me for this one but idgaf. what a fucking freak.
worst democratic gov in the country and it’s not even close now that Murphy is gone
In fairness, it isn't a *Nazi* tattoo any more. He got it covered with something Nazi-adjacent—like if he had an 88 tattoo and got it covered with a 14.
this is going to end up with an aircraft carrier stuck in the suez, isn't it
xi staring at a diagram: my god the CIA polycule is larger than I feared.
Everybody keeps saying the lesson of Iran (as with other rogue states before it) is that you should always get nukes and keep them, but the alternative big lesson is that you shouldn't shit in every other regional power's backyard if you cannot protect yourself of get a superpowerto shield you.
Also their electronics section blows target out of the water. Each store basically has a mini best buy in it, and they have a cheap private label version of basically everything
Walmart has also really made their clothing selection better. They actually have some decent looking stuff now and it's wayyy cheaper than target
if you've been in a Walmart now vs 10 years ago you'll see how they've mastered the art of making it feel slightly more upscale - enough that it's "close enough to Target, with lower prices"
Also it seems like Israel is doing MBSs dirty work here based on how hard he was pushing for this
Like people please try to have some object permanence about the literal news story the night before this war started.
Given that the US was doing an obvious buildup beforehand, I think Rubio was lying. Which isn't surprising, he's a Republican and his lips moved.
Not Just Israel my friend. The Gulf countries are secretly thrilled. They paid for this with cash and prizes!
