Oh thank god.
Thereβs now a Markwayne in charge of keeping America safe at home.
I am so relieved for you all.
This should go swimmingly.

I see the cartoonization of American politics continues apace.
MAGA are simply inventing their own reality now.
No anchor sunken in truth.
Just sloshing about in infantile βbroβ and βmanosphereβ war fantasies.
The lunatics are in charge.
And they have nukes.
Be concerned about this.
Putin: We didnβt invade Ukraine, even though we did. It is all their fault we are there. War is Peace.
Trump: We didnβt invade Iran, even though we did. It is all their fault we are there. War is Peace.
Same horseshit, just coming out of a different asshole.
As with every American war since their family first arrived in the United States in 1885, the Iran War will see not a single Trump facing peril in battle.
Yβall, I just came here to vent. I suck at following people. I simply donβt have time.
So please donβt follow me with expectations.
Better yet, donβt follow me at all.
Just drop in as you like and say hi. I will be happy to see you.
You are most welcome as long as youβre nice!
That is all. π
How on Earth do you launch WWIII without having evacuation plans in place for your OWN CITIZENS?!
The level of incompetence is staggering.
The president of the United States is an incompetent buffoon, and the cabinet should seek his legal removal by any constitutional means.
He is clearly unstable, and shows signs of messianic tendencies.
This man has the keys to a catastrophic arsenal.
Where are the adults in Washington?
Daring prediction:
While asking our soldiers to die for them, the βparty of fiscal responsibilityβ will put this war on the credit card and not ask its billionaires to sacrifice a single penny.
(Fine, thereβs nothing daring about this prediction: we all know the GOP wonβt make their owners pay.)
Ugh, the arrogance of the #Iran debate.
βShouldnβt we do this for them?β
βNo, THIS would be best instead!β
Who asked us?!!?
Imagine the America of today if, say, France and Spain had invaded the Colonies in 1768 to free us from British oppression, just before we started to push it off ourselves?
Hope they finally wake up and realize what a repressive regime they have and work to replace it themselves, peacefully, and as quickly as possible.
But enough about what Americans should do.π€¦ββοΈ
I hope the people of Iran do the same.
On. Their. Own.
βFreedomβ imposed from without rarely lasts.
Ya gotta love how people who just last week were happily talking up Project 2025 and stripping American women of a century's worth of hard-won rights, are now VERY CONCERNED about Iranian women's rights.
If you're foolish enough to believe this is about liberating Iran, then chances are you were foolish enough to believe the Iraq and Vietnam Wars were about liberation, too.
In which case you're beyond my ability to help. Best of luck to you.
Post-9/11 American spending on the Middle East has amounted to an additional tax of about $1000 per year for every man, woman, and child in the United States.
Thatβs not overall defense spending: thatβs JUST on the morass in the Middle East.
Yet America canβt afford healthcare or education.
Huh.
I cannot get my head around the fact we're at war to distract from a pedophile's crimes. It's unreal.
Will American soldiers injured in this distraction be awarded the Epstein Medal of Valor?
What a disgraceful use of our troops.
We owe them all a profound apology.

Sorry, but "poutdone" needs to be a word these days.
Definition: outdone oneself in a display of public pouting
Example:
Trump pouted so hard about not getting the Nobel Prize that FIFA gave him a pity-medal. Wow, he's really poutdone himself this time!

Since 1981, there have been nine government shutdowns.
Every single one involved Republicans controlling at least one of the two houses of Congress and/or the presidency.
This tenth one has them controlling all three.
Republicans simply cannot govern the United States.
Magats don't give a shit about children being raped.
They don't give a shit about children being shot in school.
But damn, don't get them started on halftime shows.
You are absolutely right. Thatβs why I do name names.
Me: What's that actor from that Office show that people make so many memes about? Ted Kaczynski?
Friend: Uh, I think you mean John Krasinski. Ted Kaczynski was the Unabomber, dude.
[Aaaaaand this is why uncool politics and history nerds shouldn't be allowed to discuss pop culture.]

Know that Brian Kilmeadeβs comments about murdering the homeless werenβt a βgaffe.β
For those unfamiliar, google #OvertonWindow.
These are calculated attempts to 1) test the public tolerance for further extremism and 2) make almost equally horrific policies seem OK by comparison.
This was a test.
Charlie Kirk fans sure hate hearing his words quoted.
A millionaire widow suckering working-class supporters out of their money by fundraising off of her husband's murder is peak MAGA: all about the shameless grift.

I had never heard of Sydney Sweeney.
Now I only see her name in one place: right-wing posts talking about how she triggered the left.
Only problem with all these "triggered liberals" is...there don't seem to be any.π€£
Sounds like another drama invented by the right.
Completely incorrect. Absolutely untrue. I move people to Spain on social security income alone. The requirement is only $33,500 a year or equivalent savings.
It's bad enough corrupt Trump took a $400M bribe in the form of a jet.
Now the GOP has voted to make the American people pay $1 BILLION to fix it up, AND to let Trump keep it when he leaves.
They aren't even bothering to hide their corruption anymore.
Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Meanwhile, to celebrate taking away trillions from working Americans and handing it to millionaires, the Republicans have announced they're adding a ballroom to the White House.
And of course their poorest voters will cheer.π€‘

There are literally more people working for for-profit insurance than there are doctors and nurses working to save your lives.
Do you even understand how sick that is?
We pay more people to deny you coverage than we pay to SAVE YOUR LIVES.
