Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

Saw two vehicles today with multiple people leaning out windows holding full sized Lion and Sun flags on my way to the grocery store

this is certainly going to lower the temperature huh

The King is mad

The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.

thank god neil sedaka didn't live to see this

A fucking brilliant writer whose brain was eaten alive by 9/11, which qualifies as a tragedy.

"What do you think of Congress" well I think it would be a good idea

Trump never delivered a speech to explain why he was contemplating action or what he hoped to achieve. He made no attempt to marshal public support (one recent poll found only 21% support an attack on Iran). He did not ask Congress for authorization. He just started bombing. wapo.st/4seF5K1

all comments are bad

me too, poorly-drawn cat, me too

Just as the founders intended.

A US Senator should probably know that but I suppose this is a wholly academic point since congress is fully sidelined

Senator Mullin that guy died in 1989

...we are governed by imbeciles

Harris was trash on Gaza and I'm not wild about other aspects of her foreign policy, but rather than publishing a hundred pieces saying "why won't she declare that she won't start any wars?!" pundits could have just ... told readers that she was less likely than Donald Trump to start wars.

There is no way to read Harper's work on this and come away with a clear sense that Trump was *far* more likely to launch a disastrous war overseas. Harper simply takes for granted that's the case and relentlessly criticizes Harris' rhetorical approach.

I'm not going to say Harper is singlehandedly responsible for Trump's victory, but this *is* the phenomenon that resulted in so many Americans having no idea what they voted for. Across mainstream media, pundits refused to draw a clear distinction between Ds & Rs and lay out Trump's agenda.

Here is his justification and his examples. Surely if one candidate is lying through his teeth and likely to take the country into a disastrous war, that is the core message to convey to voters.

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

At best, I’ll say he was writing big sci fi in a decade that was short on it. I think there’s a lot of nostalgia around that for many people in our age range, but I mean, C.S. Friedman was right there.

Just the president running a war from a curtained off area in the middle of a golf club.

The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.

Some Curtains In the way Facility

Pipe and draping does not make it a SCIF. And DEFINITELY not a SCIF if you can just peek your head in from outside.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

I think I remember liking the first Hyperion, Summer of Night and Carrion Comfort, but I've never gone back to reread any of them. Never read another thing after his 9/11 reaction. Also thought he'd been dead for years.

His horror work broke impressive new ground in the fields of Islamophobia, trying to write an IT knockoff, and saying really weird shit about India. Also, I think one had a yeti.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

“Ban postal voting except for the demographic that votes for us” come on now

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

Tatjana began her career at EC Comics in the 1950s! Adding uncredited finishes to Wally Wood stories. From 1969 on, she was one of the main colorists at DC. She hit her peak with Vertigo. She hung it up in 2003 at age 77. She was 99 when she died.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Did Trump inform the Gang of Eight he was going to murder schoolgirls from the air as required by law?!

And thank God it was after the already wobbly stock market closed on Friday and the appropriate insiders can sell off at 9:30.00.01 on Monday morning

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd. There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.

I guess somebody successfully talked him out of attacking during the Olympics, at least.

Donald Trump in 2012:

due back monday and i'm sure neither leader is going to do a thing before then

There definitely is a regime that has prevented peace in the region and caused mayhem and bloodshed in Gaza and Lebanon

The UK has the rotating presidency of the Security Council today & will preside over this meeting. Tomorrow, the US assumes the rotating presidency. Another aside: Russia held the presidency in Feb ‘22 & was presiding over an emergency meeting literally during the start of its invasion of Ukraine
