Having a man-crush for Mamdani might be the one and only relatable thing about him.

To be clear, this isn't pro-Canadianism, this is anti-Americanism. This is the anti-Trump trade. This is the America-is-going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket trade. So much winning!

Iran, 2026

Yes it's possible that his tariff plan will somehow be stimied but let us not discount the (ongoing) extraordinary circumstance of the American President standing there and saying what he said. People continue to mistake atrocity for absurdity. There is a deep deep psychic wound in the country.

Well, it's death by a thousand cuts and we've just witnessed a particularly big gash.

And now the constitutional crisis actually begins...

Even his national addresses, the way he relishes standing in front of people who have no choice but to submit and swallow his jabber, are acts of abuse.

all this stuff makes much more sense if you understand “anti wokeness” as a general backlash to elite accountability more generally, even if you have criticisms of left wing egalitarianism bsky.app/profile/kevi...

This idea of powerful people not being able to get away with enjoying the privileges of their status was offensive to our “populist” overlords who successfully convinced millions people that they had something similar to lose

One thing you'll never see is a headline that reads "SCORES KILLED IN ILLEGAL AND CRIMINAL U.S. MILITARY ATTACKS" even though that's actually the pertinently factual way to frame it.

Or, "Europeans Remain Unmoved and Wary of Presentation by Emissary of Kakistocratic Rogue Nation Whose Health Secretary Boasts of Snorting Cocaine Off Public Bathroom Toilet Seats"

Chatgpt being passive-aggressive because dude was wasting its time.

Racist White House deletes racist Trump's post about Obamas after furious backlash and says it was 'erroneously' made by a racist staffer

Shoulda used some of that 99% when he thought about making this tweet.

Only in the movies does resistance constitute heroism, in real life resistance is always terrorism just ask any Palestinian.

When state actors are are behaving in ways flagrantly and openly contradictory to baseline moral concepts and principles that even 4-yr olds can understand but we're debating definitions of international law instead of characterizations that use words like evil and rapacious then we're mosdef fucked

Cable news, like the rest of America, are the trauma bonded abuse victims that Trump has groomed to psychically rape at will. They don't fight back, they don't know how, they don't even understand that they should.

The burning shame when you realize who your peeps are, your Nazi-inspired nation preparing to roll over the Americas, whilst popular voices discuss the legalities and practicalities of "taking" Greenland or using goon squads to terrorize politically targeted areas instead of the moral horror of it.

There are times which simply are not suited to radical centrists, mealy mouthed bothsiderists, or hands-across-the-aisle compromisers, when the embrace of complexity is a procrastinating self-defeat, when the enemy is crystal clear, when eradication is the first and only matter of business.

Sociopaths don't feel bad when moms die, but more objectively and inarguably, sociopaths go on TV to say such things.

The gist of the recently released NSS that the US having lost the future to China is going to focus on its own geographically isolated hemispherical zone of influence, from Greenland all the way down, suggests that Venezuela might mostly have been Trump lifting his leg and marking his territory.

The moral atrocity of the Iraq war rests with the nation because it was precipitated through Congress and all the "correct" channels, but the moral atrocity that is Trump rests with the nation because it elected him twice. Happy New Year all you exceptionals!

Good thing they issued that "National Security Strategy of the United States of America" which emphasized that South America is in the US's rightful sphere of influence before they got in there and started influencing with bombs and kidnapping.

No more bombing action maybe but plenty of oil company action.

Silence of the Lambs: A hallmark in the evolution of a culture whose appetite for ever more gratuitous/retributive/righteous violence has elevated sociopaths to protagonists. And now Donald Trump is president and the end of the world (order) is nigh. Happy New Year.

Headlines that begin with "Trump says..." Are worthless propaganda in capitulated state media.

"Trump promised radical change if he was reelected and the Nazis are in charge now so in this respect he's true to his word, and once again has shown that he has an uncommonly keen, visceral insight into the things that most concern everyday Americans." -The Disgraced NYT

He's pretty confident and probably with good reason that his voters will be entirely satisfied with watching people eat cake.

Right, because when Trump says things like "I'm going to be a dictator" it makes sense that some people will think "He doesn't really mean that so I guess I'll vote for him." No, this is what they hear: "I'm going to fuck over the people that you don't like." And that's what they vote for.

I see lots of people with exceedingly unfounded and irrational conviction that the release of the Epstein files, regardless of how redacted they are and regardless of what they reveal, is going to meaningfully change anything. Let's reconvene here in 6 months so I can I-told-you-so.

"You will pull the story because why do you think you even have this job how fucking stupid are you"

I'm sorry but if you attribute sincerity, delusional or otherwise, to anything Trump says you simply don't understand how he operates, you simply don't understand how lying works.

Apparently no moral consideration here, just money and *American* lives. What if the enemy of my enemy is also an ethnocentric sociopath?

Death. Death is what could go wrong.

It's such a broken, fundamentally corrupt culture that even the most basic of ethical principles are argued and debated.

No tale of blonde, romantic transgression could withstand the cold shower that is the foregrounding of RFK Jr.

Wonder if Gazans have the same sentiment about Americans supplying the means of death and misery which have been visited upon them for decades.

That he is in the midst of a dementia drug protocol is almost certainly the correct explanation. It fits the facts of the routine IV injections and the MRI and also explains why he resurrected his boasting about taking that test and being able to identify a giraffe or whatever.

It's possible that he has a behavioral problem that isn't drug related, but it's not possible that his company isn't evil.

On YOUR recommendation I watched this until the end, long past it was clear that there was nothing this person could possibly produce that could be worth my time. My judgment was vindicated, and now you're dead to me.

Who would want to travel to a nation of people who would elect a degenerate like Trump for their president? A degenerate who by EVERY single metric of personal character is repellent and evil? "Hey, for this year's vacation let's go visit the Manson Family."

You could only say that Trump "admitted" something if you believe what he admitted to was true, but you can't possibly assume that such things he says aren't just more lies.

Will we ever be able to restore public confidence in these institutions once they've been overrun by bald partisan ambition and ethical corruption to the extent that they are today? When there is no political consequence within the

These are not combatants wandering outside the boundaries of the rules of engagement in an armed conflict. They are cold-blooded murderers using these killings for domestic political purposes, and also to condition their population to accept atrocity committed by their government.
