Classic CIA.

The killing of civilians in boats by the military was a test by the Trump administration to see if they could power over some of the oldest longstanding norms & laws of war: don't target civilians, render help to capsized sailors. Once the military double-tapped rather than render aid, die was cast.

So when can you start

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Is that what’s happening? Or did it fail today to coopt Maduro’s subordinates in the Chavista regime, who are still entrenched in power and pissed off?

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

Sometimes I think about Harris‘s ”most lethal military in the world” line from her DNC speech and today is one of those days

At least respect us enough to tell us that Venezuela did 9/11

Lil’ Marco: failing to overthrow Latin American governments for well over a decade now.

incredibly funny to do a back room deal that relies on extreme discretion and strategy with the worlds stupidest man

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Wow, next week! Don’t you worry you’re rushing things?

No rush!

Just a reminder that Schumer is who the democrats chose as their leader, not a single senator has called for him to step down, and if a single senator did so and defied Chuck’s orders, that would almost certainly be the end of his leadership.

Man I miss the Biden presidency when only Palestinians lacked sovereignty over their own territory. There was no way to predict that that would be generalized when Trump got back into power!

The NRA has the chance to do the funniest thing.

“Also, John Thune inspected my wallet today and he said he’s never seen one so beautifully organized!”

wait did they fucking rig up an improvise situation room at mar-a-lago with bedsheets or something

They’re all posting their statements on the child porn platform? That’s a wild choice.

The statue and the bomb, or, the Hall of Fame and the kinetic strike, or hosting a television show and carrying out a coup “literally like I was watching a television show”

Ok I’ll bite: who are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries?

It sucks that the US is being run by its id. I like it when it was being run by its superego, and would just occasionally conduct illegal foreign adventures using drones.

What’s happening today is of course a tribute to the wisdom of the Nobel Prize committee in Sweden.

with what troops lol

In USA, Congresspeople write letters to citizens.

Dude maybe you could write your Congressperson.

Guys it’s bad that Marco Rubio is running US foreign policy on behalf of various exile groups based in Miami.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The funniest thing about Bari’s quest to remake CBS is that this is what the US media is already like:

I'm glad that Congress isn't alive to see this

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

NEW: The anonymous "researcher" in Nick Shirley's viral "fraud" video--treated as a concerned citizen on Fox News and elsewhere--is actually a Minnesota state lobbyist and political activist who worked with a GOP House staffer to provide Shirley info/ theintercept.com/2026/01/03/m...

The US unilaterally and illegally using state violence in South America to achieve the goals of capital is a long-standing tradition

You gotta stop giving them money. You absolutely don’t need to do crosswords and wordles and shit

Find me the conservative parents with kids in daycare who would be okay with a group of anonymous men, some masked, some with cameras, being allowed without their permission into their kid’s daycare in the middle of the day to *film their kids*. Find me one.

Give Bari Weiss credit, she found a news reader less intelligent and with a squarer jaw than Jake Tapper.

Applebee’s CEO says people should move beyond calling chain’s food “bad” and “microwaved.”

God bless Drake. No matter how big of a screw up, a loser, a piece of shit you think you are, here comes Drake stealing the spotlight. Not so fast, says Drake. I'm a way bigger fucking loser than you.

You have to give Zohran Mamdani credit for delivering on his campaign promises.

NEW from me: Currently on tap for Tony Dokoupil on his first day as CBS Evening News anchor -- taking a private plane to Miami to so he can go jet skiing with DJ Khaled and play soccer with David Beckham. Take that, elites! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I used to think X had no public utility but it is developing into some sort of monument to billionaire hubris. It's a living museum of paranoiac mania, a Grey Gardens situation.

The British journalist guy is the product of some initiative designed to create accounts that are entertaining enough to dunk on. I’ll admit I briefly forgot the Bluesky “just block” credo.

This is an outrage. Why would you disregard the test people took in first grade to see if they qualified for the gifted program?

Well, this isn’t the kind of question I’d expect someone from a country that maintained a brutal overseas empire while styling itself the height of civilization to ask.

I just drank a bowl full of pot liquor left over from the New Year’s collard greens, which yes I did grow up in Appalachia.

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder. apnews.com/article/boat...
