Anyway this is a solid reason to shut the government down unless Noem is fucking fired

if this person is cuffed/zip-tied, that's something cops get hit with assault convictions for

I'm going to just pretend Rutte said "I'll blow your crazy ass out of the fucking sky if you don't knock it off." and that will help me sleep tonight

Watching the markets tick higher as he says this is like watching the 21st Century turn into a rabid cat

On one hand, I don't think there's any actual plans to go to war with Europe. On the other, as a journalist, you have to dumber than a beagle to think Trump was possibly going to announce a war at a fucking conference in Switzerland and thereby take comfort that he didn't.

Investors are like "Ok so we sort of got something vaguely like a statement that didn't guarantee a third world war. Buy! Buy everything!"

Bessent is going to have some very uncomfortable silences in the men's room at Davos

Alright uh... He doesn't seem to be getting better

If It Happens soon, you actually have a patriotic duty to have massive public celebrations that make headlines all over the world

Scott you're not supposed to let your voice warble in terror when urging calm

Has someone explained to the Prime Minister that Donald Trump doesn’t know what a Nobel Peace Prize is?

American day-to-day life is fairly durable but it also costs a lot of money which leaves Americans a lot of whacky levers to pull if the government truly went psycho. If 1-1.5 million people just drove onto I-95 anywhere north or south of DC and just… got out and walked away the $’s start piling up

That dumbass letter is going to be in the history text books about Trump and will be one of the moments where a curious student raises their hand to ask a question, confused af

Picture the face of the person you know, in your life, who would have called you a hysterical maniac for predicting this at any point in Trump's career.

Anyone running in 2026 should be speaking in apocalyptic terms about this. This is the other Long Project ahead of us and we have to start it now.

Boomers being like “Yeah I actually hate Atlanticism” is just spooky

holy shit

Texans in disarray

Ohhhh boy

i cannot believe he threw that ball

Stroud has been BEGGING for the defense to catch one of his passes

The RW focus on women confronting ICE is two-pronged: The standard misogyny and the absolute refusal to acknowledge this part

Good box mix brownies with a scoop of ice cream is a treat that deserves more deliberate recognition

Also fodder for “detectives working a gruesome crime need to talk to a repulsive loser who’s life is in shambles while following a lead”

This is extremely stupid and also as good a bit of news as we’re going to get wrt a potential military disaster

Give this woman ten divisions

I think the only thing that would talk me out of liberal beneficence towards red states re: federal resources would be a permanent Papers-Please federal imposition on blue states. Which is the thing that keeps ICE popular among republican voters.

The conservative man is on his knees begging for emotionally safe cookies

There's a certain kind of election dooming (Not Greg) that doesn't seem to realize that it's describing the collapse of the federal government altogether. There's no "new house." That's a warlord.

A lot of cops should be prepared to hear all the gruesome new ways they can go fuck themselves

The Nazis did have a certain effect on people

I did not think it was possible for me to feel embarrassed on Trump’s behalf

Dissident soft power www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUj2...

Long guns covered in every bullshit accessory on the market to take a door with a... nurse behind it.

New York and California combine for a population of about 60 million people and a GDP of six trillion dollars. You might as well invade France, it would be easier.

The last two weeks feel a lot like March 2020. The weird looming threat of the last several months suddenly sharpening into something immediate and present in a new way. The difference is the omnidirectional feeling of it; The psycho-FP, killer klown kops, and major advertisers buying AI CSAM.

I don't think federal LE challenge coins should look like parodies of satanic panic evidence

I mean they keep saying stuff like this and… nothing. They might as well say they’re looking for Bigfoot.

lol they looked up the definition of a bruise huh?

There are a lot of moments that have made Christian allegiance to MAGA a historic enormity but Miller’s tirade is uniquely devastating. You probably cannot articulate a more succinct antithesis to the gospel of Jesus Christ than what he said on air. It’s simply a full denial of the whole religion.

I don’t think Miller is Goebbels. I think he’s Timothy McVeigh.

I think this whole thing is some kind of insurgency against popular opinion.

Yankees cap has advanced stage manlet syndrome

I have some work in Italy this summer and I'll have three days off in Florence. Any and all recs welcome.

How many regular people have ever locked eyes with any head of state anywhere on earth and be told “fuck you” followed by a rude gesture?

I don’t know why but this is probably the worst-looking charts for Republicans I’ve seen in a long time. 50/50 chance that you just are incredibly evil or can’t answer the most basic political questions

"Liberal white women are ruining the male cop fantasy."

…but… why?

As far as all conservative men see themselves as temporarily embarrassed cops. this is sort of a trial run of watching their day-dreams come to life.

I hadn’t heard the audio that goes with the ICE agent falling on ice and that dude is never going to be the same. A group of strangers howling with laughter and calling you a pussy while you RUN AWAY is top 3 worst nightmare for a certain kind of guy
