“How ‘bout them Donald Trump approval ratings”

Boomers, man

I just feel awful for the National Guard troopers caught up in this. They’re just standing around looking bored all the time, but they have been made into a deliberate symbol by the Trump admin and that may have made them a target for this gunman.

My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

Would a russian asset behave any differently?

Fucks sake

Damage to the Russian A-60 and Il-76 (could also be A-100) as well as Beriev Aviation Plant as a result of tonight’s attack.

JD Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff just drafted a plan that would effectively hand Ukraine over to Putin. But what were they really trying to do?

Threatening someone with a uniform inspection is the most POG shit I've ever heard in my life.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

South African poasting

I hope everyone who is not feeling well right now feels better in the morning

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America. Someone make me a senior fellow. This shit's easy as hell.

Gonna take them a while to process how few legitimate US MAGAts there ACTUALLY are

It’s been hilarious over at the bad place today

@stevanzetti.bsky.social appears to be having fun today.

What should I read first?

We’re living in interesting times

Four Large Ukrainian night drone bombers attack the same Russian infantry group at the same time.

The barstool people threw a bitchfit when Illinois proposed taxing individual bets and turns out the target constituency (young men) aren’t that politically engaged and aren’t going to lobby politicians so they should be ignored and tax away

We’re living in interesting times

RIP BOZO

Oklahoma ranks 50th in public education nationwide btw lol

Fucking cartoon villain ass regime cutting aid and support while Ukraine is in an energy blackout in winter

Oh we’re doing this again

Remember when Biden’s biggest gaffe that his staff had to walk back was him stating we’d defend Taiwan lol

Reskeet with a time you looked cool.

I must say this on behalf of my fans: Please stop encouraging me

Epstein’s War

It’s a Christmas miracle!

Abandoning Ukraine is not in any way, shape or form putting America first. But obviously Mike is fully aware of that.

Traitor

personally I think one Bill Clinton oral sex scandal was quite enough thank you

there was also an entirely different time when he said some dumb shit and a bunch of NAFO accounts started calling him stupid, so he called for reinforcements from Mike Lee, the senior senator from Utah, and the two of them started talking about using FARA to prosecute people with cartoon dog pfps

This was entirely predictable because anyone who has had an interaction with the strategy cheese professional or unprofessionally will tell you he is a petulant asshole who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room (spoiler alert, he is not)

(Reuters) - Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk temporarily suspended oil exports - equivalent to 2.2 million barrels per day, or 2% of global supply - on Friday after a Ukrainian missile and drone attack.
