Thought these guys were unhinged but then we saw Stephen miller explain it calmly and not screaming at all and now everything seems totally chill 😬

you know one thing dems do not need and have never needed overwhelming majorities to do is to stop talking about republicans as their respectable colleagues who they hope will do the right thing and the fever will break any minute now, and to start talking about them as enemies who must be defeated

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

By what right does the UK exercise control over the Falklands, Bermuda, or the Virgin Islands? The French, Saint Martin or Martinique? The Dutch in Aruba? Is it now United States’ policy that European control or protection of places in the Western Hemisphere is inherently illegitimate?

I am so tired of the Immortal Science of Obama-Sanders-Biden-Yglesiasism

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

can I just point out again that refusing an illegal order is what you're supposed to do? that's why the military defines some orders as illegal

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. “..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

what a lot of people don’t understand is that there is a good chance that the higher echelons of the fascist administration is majority staffed with anti-NATO groypers and christian nationalists. This is an additional positive to invading Greenland, not a negative.

If you're wondering "what the fuck is she talking about?" It's her saying the left is insane for not calling the Maduro kidnapping and annexation a win.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

This looks like 1,000 videos I've seen from authoritarian states

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

hate it when my elite pedophilia related government cover up gets in the way of my domestic ethnic cleansing and starvation campaigns while I’m trying to invade other countries

Your job as a citizen isn't to invent excuses for your representatives' inaction. I promise you it'll never be enough. We don't 'control Congress. We control Congress but not the presidency. We control both but we don't have 60 votes in the senate. Too bad, figure it out or make way for someone else

Why show up to work at all then? At minimum, as the opposition party you say "This wouldn't happen if we were in power and if you give us power here's how we'll impose consequences on the president's lawbreaking." Have they outlined that in any real way?

we need more allies doing stuff like this instead of sharing screenshots of content by white supremacists

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

1. Deny a Quorum: Democrats can walk out 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use every hour of debate 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays 5. Blanket Opposition to everything Doing anything is something

turns out the rational bourgeois world order built on the graves of communists is a nihilistic wasteland of eschatological promises

This is objectively untrue. Shutdown starts Jan 30. That doesn't change w/o Dem votes. Nor any non-reconciliation legislation. Also other kinds of obstruction and forcing votes. The minority party is not completely powerless, esp. in the Senate. If they pretend to be, that is a choice, not reality.

being consistently most vitriolic loud angry person on social media is not a credit to your leftist credentials it just makes people not want to organize with you the most radical leftists i have the privilege to call comrades are some of the kindest people. knowing who to be angry at is important

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

I've gotten super annoyed at members of congress complaining about political violence and how it impacts them personally. Ok guys fine. Do something about it. Also if you can't take the heat, you can always resign.

i remember when creating CSAM would mean your website was shutdown immediately and people not only wouldn't choose to hang out there but literally couldn't because again it was shutdown immediately

in how many "law enforcement operations" are damn near 100 people killed?

A fair amount of folks don't seem to understand that moderate democrats got us here after being badgered by progressive activists since the Reagan era. Activists fuck with anyone who is part of a problem. I don't think citizens realize that all along.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world. But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

the 6% is the WaPo editorial board

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Underrated just how common this is in diplomacy wherein the dominant party knowingly makes a demand that cannot under really any circumstances be met because it's existential and then uses the rational answer by the weaker party as pretext to derail and then aggress

garbage country run by garbage people and I'm embarrassed to live here

NEW: A congressman wants to criminalize insider trading on Polymarket

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

I think it’s time for us as US citizens to take action into our own hands and accept that majority of these politicians are not our saviors. Regardless of their political party. Democracy is dead and no one is coming to save us. When the fuck are we going to save ourselves?

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

The Associate Deputy Secretary of the Interior failed to disclose her husband’s $3.5 million deal with a lithium mining company.

While Trump’s ICE operation in Minnesota spreads fear throughout the state’s Somali community, corporate media outlets have platformed the administration's narrative of the crackdown through their coverage. From @matthewccook5.bsky.social: trib.al/BAXXe0d

With an opposition party like this who needs opposition parties

Enlisted personnel aren't "kids." They chose to join, and they can make all the excuses they want, but they're carrying out illegal orders. Implying that we're supposed to feel sorry for uwu smol bean SOLDIERS is fucking gross and characteristic of this rotten empire. Let them all hang.

A lot of people are acting like they think "just following orders" was rejected as a defense because there were no consequences for rejecting those orders... *psst* in case it's not super clear there were consequences, and a lot of times worse than being arrested

Once again.

Simple as Everyone in DoD who participated in planning and executing this needs to face charges Yes I know the scope/scale of what I'm saying; either laws mean things or they don't

Defending the professionalism of people obeying an illegal order? Isn't that literally the opposite of professionalism?
