As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

It’s even worse if you’re one of the smart weirdos doing the flailing

anyone who has been on social media for the last 15 years has ptsd for this exact thing when the charts start to buck and the smart weirdos start to flail and vaguely gesture like this

These guys make Warren Harding look like a fucking intellectual titan.

"of course he didn't do Venezuela for oil, they have a decaying extraction infrastructure that would require massive capital investments that no prudent corporation would make in a destabilized nation"

Ok your mistake here is thinking these guys check these things

Along with being fascist criminals:

I have used this quote SO MANY TIMES in the last decade, and I wish to GODS that circumstances would allow me to RETIRE IT for a while.

They are murdering civilians on the high seas.

They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.

They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.

They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities.

These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

There's always a tweet

Quick editorial note. “Aaron Banks, Anthony Belton and Sean Rhyan are not under contract until 2029”: “not” should be “now”, I assume.

FFS. These people are so far up their own assholes they’ve entered a brand new Colon Zone.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

Upon seeing the headline here, I repeated "NO WAY! NO WAY!!!" Multiple times. I'm happy the author agrees, though perhaps not as vehemently or as concisely.

I immediately thought about GB's propensity to draft H-backs when I saw Jaren Kanak's draft profile. Between him and Ingold, we could redo The Josiah Deguara Experience, but maybe better?

OP's never seen a topo map before in his life? FFS. Give the SMALLEST amount of effort before having someone LMGTFY.

Only the Laser Loon can adequately express my sideeye-doubts about Amy's competence on this topic

We're all trapped in the boomer-mindset media landscape, doomed to relive _only their traumas_ until they're all dead or out of positions of power.

A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵

I TOO WOULD LIKE TO SHOUT THIS OUT.

Hey Target, for free I can tell you: it’s not the products that tarnished your image and it won’t be product overhauls that help you “regain” it.

Thanks so much for being here for us, Jason. 💜

My oldest email address is at AOL, from back when it was dialup. 👨‍🦳🤜🤛
My next oldest email address is from Apple's early service offerings in the 'aughts.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

inquiring minds want to know more about this "Nuremberg 2.0"
