Imagine if this regime were ruled by carnivorous nuclear-tipped dinosaurs. In bionic battle armor. Think about what a terror that would be.

In case you’re wondering how the climate is doing, it’s snowing in DC right now. It was 85 yesterday.

Bam Adebayo did what?!

It should not get lost on us that he’s a complete idiot. Just totally incompetent.

If there is any moral arc to the universe at all, this guy will spend his final days cold and alone in a prison cell, unloved by his heirs and noted by history only as a shameful, villainous aberration.

My 6-year old just expectantly asked me if I was making beer cheese for our party tomorrow, and it might have been my proudest moment as a Dad.

Nuh uh. Nope. You don’t get to unilaterally drag us into an unprovoked conflict, fail to make the case for that conflict, and then only after you started it say, “Well we’re all going to have to make some sacrifices”. Fuck all of that.

Can’t believe this needs to be said, but it does: If Iran’s next leader is picked by the shithead President of the United States, and not the people of Iran, they are not, in any way, “free”.

The Iran War is actually just a taxpayer funded bailout for Tesla. [Send Post]

“Iran is run by a cabal of crazed, militant lunatics who brutalize protestors!” I shout as I calmly shatter the arm of a Marine Corps veteran…

The modern GOP in one skweet

You can, at once, believe that Khamenei was a vile, brutal oppressor with rivers of blood on his hands… and also have serious misgivings about the U.S. and Israel going around unilaterally deciding which world leaders live and which ones die.

The unspoken irony, of course, is that MAGA and Iran’s revolutionary regime are ideological fellow travelers.

Do regime change in Israel next.

While the U.S. military was plotting an attack on an adversary more than capable of launching asymmetric terrorist attacks against, and probably inside, the United States, the FBI Director was partying with the hockey team at the Olympics.

If one’s objective were to help, rather than topple, the Ayatollah, this is the kind of thing you might do.

My wife is Persian. Her family fled Iran for safety. I know fully well how brutal, repressive, and ruthless it is. It nevertheless did not pose a threat to American lives or liberty. And if you think Trump gives a single shit for the well-being of the Iranian people, you’re just another sucker.

Millennials to Gen Z

Congratulations to every single Republican voter

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

The President who unilaterally thrust the nation into a war without popular or congressional consent, now won’t even bother to explain or justify his actions to the nation. This is not a democracy by any meaningful measure.

I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that the unifying aim of this government is to be able to kill — secretly, autonomously, and without accountability. It is the most consistent through line across its domestic and foreign policies. We should think hard about what that means.

L'État, c'est moi

The Trump Admin fired tens of thousands of humanitarians, scientists, and national park rangers. So, yes. Firing ICE agents will be an easy, obvious sell by comparison.

Hey what if we just had fewer mega-corporations? And they had to compete against each other by offering us better products, or cheaper prices, or both? Just spitballing.

The thing is, there just isn’t a very large market for right-wing news. I still believe in Adam Smith.

I literally could not care less

The thing about specter of a looming war with Iran is… Why? Like, literally, for what reason or purpose?

Was the FBI Director part of the official delegation to the Olympic Games? If not, he should have been there on his own dime, flying civilian just like any other fan.

I cannot stress enough how Byzantine and onerous it is for your run-of-the-mill civil servant to get approval for official travel.

Nobody ever talks about the fact that eggnog is just French toast batter with booze in it

America in 2026 is just the living national embodiment of the “Okay Grandpa, let’s get you to bed” meme

“People are asking a lot of questions about my ‘People are not personally profiting from this’ t-shirt, which are already answered by my t-shirt.”

And I’ll bet you’ll never guess where the extra cost is going to go…

She is the *HOMELAND* Security Secretary. This plane should never fly anywhere but between two points in the United States. Why does she need a queen-sized bed?

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

I know people have a great deal to say about Harry Potter, and Rowling, and I get it. But reading the latter books with my nine-year old against the backdrop of everything that is happening in real life in this country is… a lot.

Okay this is a vastly improved all-star format. But it’s a stop on the way to what we really need: Five 5-man teams playing to 21 by 1s and 2s, winner stays.

Elon Musk’s father had an affair with his stepdaughter. Just in case you’re wondering why he’s so enamored with pedophiles.

Not very subtle!

We’re so inured to this shit at this point, but you cannot comprehend the outrage that would have manifested in Conservative media if Biden had done this in 2022.

Honestly explains so many things

Nobody is like, oh I wish my car could pollute more…
