no lol the Boxer tagged out with the Tripoli who is headed back home, so they're still at a 1.0 MEU in the region, and I dunno if the rest of the one 82nd IBCT that was announced like 2 months ago has yet arrived

Deep within the Pentagon, dozens of men rush to ready their greatest weapon, which must be deployed before Friday at 4pm: Barak Ravid's cell phone number and a not-very-convincing leak that negotiations are back on.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States, mediated by Pakistan, is officially canceled.-Tasnim

I have decided my mandatory curriculum for high school students will include military strategy so we stop producing morons who've read Sun Tzu, the Prince, and a few Wikipedia excerpts on Clausewitz and run around spouting the dumbest sh** you've ever heard.

I'm sorry that you ought to be physically capable of doing the most important job in the world, but thems the breaks.

The President, of the United States, working with Putin to get Zelenskyy assassinated is too much.

they just say things and no reporter digs in because the reporters are apparently afraid of humiliating them

Critical support for s22.

We need to increase property taxes on seniors.

One of the first things Facebook’s algorithm showed me today was this propaganda post by Patriot Front. It’s not just that FB is platforming fascists. They are algorithmically PROMOTING and amplifying them.

He conceptualizes everything in the form of a cartoon that plays in his head.

Jake Tapper would have had to consult a physician four hours later if Joe Biden had said something like this.

once again, i really don't think people get the reactionary right imaginary is basically going to justify increasingly bad and worse things to both Europe and Canada (comments on the WSJ article on Carney)

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

one thing about people thinking Platner changed is that he didn't actually say he did, apologize for anything he'd done in an unqualified way, or do anything to indicate that this was the case. the idea that he had was fully confabulated by his supporters.

just a reminder that Vance and this guy are best buds :)

The upside of the war is that no matter what, the Gulf Arabs lose.

It's baffling how many people see this as just acceptable, neutral programming to have on.

Still time for FIFA the revoke the extremely prestigious FIFA Peace Prize

Assign Bishop Robert Barron to the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore and never to be seen again like Cardinal Bernard Francis Law

This lady literally only exists on BlueSky. She is about to have more likes on this post than she got votes in the primary (1,114). Stop it. Get some help.

RUN A REAL FUCKING CAMPAIGN IF YOU WANT TO BE A US SENATOR

“Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a ‘moral imperative’ that ‌people have access to the health services they need.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I received 1,114 fewer votes in the primary than Andrea. I too am ready to answer the call…

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

This is the campaign that couldn’t scrape enough signatures together to qualify for a state primary.

This you, Mother Jones?

If anyone had wondered what the early stages of a maga takeover of your party looks like, Platner was a preview.

You really would expect more from one fellow who began his public career by volunteering to defend a neo-Nazi cult for free and from another fellow who began his public career by publishing his high-lair-ee-us rape diaries. Who’d believe they’d crawled from one side of the barrel bottom to another.

if youve arrived at the conclusion that zionism is basically nazism, and you realize that most american Jews are zionists, its pretty easy to get to where we're about to get to. next few years will be fun

Which wing of the Democratic party never supported this garbage? The ex-Republican wing.

Lmao, Rod Dreher's erstwhile Hungarian sugar daddy, the Matthias Corvinus Collegium Foundation -- a huge financial, political and influence hub of the Fidesz regime, and a repository of immense taxpayer wealth stolen for global alt-right purposes -- will be abolished effective July 31

“Where is AOC?”

You have to be willing to take a punch and not return it, because those sorts of individuals typically have a lot less to lose than the office professional who absolutely cannot have an assault on his record, or miss work over court dates, and still keep his career.

“I feel bullied, really”

Caruso is a scumbag who probably likes that Hegseth is a serial abuser, not in spite of it. Hegseth is so bad that HIS OWN MOM WROTE A LETTER DETAILING HIS ABUSE OF WOMEN

I still dont understand why people use substack when they can use almost any other blogging platform.
