Re the Hormuz, not saying I'm an expert on the sitch, but are we really too proud to try historically vetted measures like sacrificing a high ranking member of the royal family to propitiate the sea god

I can’t tell if Israel thinks its special privilege with the USA is eternal and the current grumbling by the American electorate is a passing fad or if it’s convinced the relationship is doomed no matter what and is basically buying everything in a going out of business sale while it can.

I don't think this will work. The voters have determined your service literally does not count if you are a Democrat. Kerry getting three purple hearts and Walz retiring after 24 years were seen as proof of cowardice compared to ANG cowboy and cadet bone spurs.

The US is losing this war and no one is going to be better off than before this utter clusterfuck.

it is friday, march 13, 2020. global markets are in freefall. President Trump declares a national emergency over the covid pandemic. it is friday, march 13, 2026.

we need to find whatever fucking idiot consultants are advising dems to slash income taxes and dump them in the middle of the ocean with concrete blocks chained to their ankles

lmao

Me The most racist person alive 🤝 “Stop softening racists’ language”

Actually insane. Actual peronist politics. Republicans will beat you on taxes every single time and this literally runs against everything else you stand for. It’s fucking moronic. Taking up a debt jubilee/forgiveness platform would be much less stupid and is actually politically strategic.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

I cannot wait to go to the gas pumps and make some money!!!

Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

The answer here is to go directly after Trump's legitimacy. Say the office was vacant under 14AS3. A packed SCOTUS can absolutely rule that way.

the senate needs to haul hegseth in for hearings, because he will crack under detailed questioning about the rank and deadly incompetence of his leadership of the DOD

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

The perfect amount for Hegseth to get tempted by a shiny, testosterone fueled minor tactical victory that leaves the nation's balls in a vice. 10/10, no notes.

God, I bet Shah Jr. or the MEK or fucking whoever convinced him they'll have a eleventy gazillion strong rebel army pop out of the sand and then the only guy who shows up is a Kurd who knows he's going to get betrayed yet again but is in a steamy love affair with his CIA liaison and the sex rules.

2,000 guys. Just enough to cause some trouble. Not enough to take and hold meaningful territory when outnumbered infinity to one. Just enough to ensure escalation rather than a "fuck it, we're leaving" if they can't hold out.

Hopefully??

No Democrat should be talking about tax cuts. They should be talking about executing Elon Musk for treason and seizing every dollar he has.

i think that it is plainly obvious that we should bankrupt Palantir on day one by cutting all of its contracts and declaring it a supply chain risk.

The core problem is that literally 50% of the water is diverted to make comically tiny profits of, like, a few hundred million dollars, so trillions of actual economic activity gets held hostage by some clown who bought land in 1872. Put a market price on water and the problem is instantly fixed.

"karens who control oil prices" is a great addition to "everything is gender." what have they done to our poor "karen"

thinking about the rumor that the only reason Mojtaba's mother made it to the hospital (albeit to die 2 days later from wounds) is because he personally performed CPR on her

and to every earnest dork who tries to say "the American people want to get back to normal" in 2027-2029, you can honestly and ethically say "I think the American people want Content, dawg" and keep asking for impeachments and truth commissions and new Pecora commissions, etc.

i am a "billionaires shouldn't exist" person for "sufficiently concentrated wealth is caustic to society" reasons and: the widespread belief that we could have everything we ever wanted if we just Taxed The Billionaires is wrong for SEVERAL reasons and is absolutely gonna KILL us in the long run

U.S. OFFICIALS REPORT THAT IRAN IS LAYING MINES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. THIS CONTRADICTS EARLIER REMARKS BY TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT WHO STATED IRAN HAD NOT MINED THE STRAIT.

At least those air force crewmen aboard the KC135 died in the cause of sub bowling alley level animations in some epic posts, just as they would have wanted im sure

American loss of a KC-135 :\ www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/...

is this a solution?

The Iranians are going to Moskva us because the Treasury and Energy Secretaries can’t shut the fuck up aren’t they.

This Weeks Onion Magazine: Still Supreme! Iran’s New Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei On Faith, Fitness, And Supremely Good Sex After 50

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

If Vance were to literally just kill him and then pardon himself, I think he’d get away with it, cause the stock market to go up, and lose exactly zero votes because the caveman community Trump draws his base from instinctively understands “THROG CHIEF NOW BECAUSE HE HIT OLD CHIEF WITH BIG ROCK.”

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

RAMIREZ, SECURE THE BURGER KING AT THE TIP OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

remember in mw3 when you ride a jetski through a naval battle firing a glock 18 one handed? anyway that's what hegseth is trying to get the seals to do in early april

the world economy is dependent on two things: 1. cheap, reliable energy 2. queer people with monster energy drinks and lord, donald trump is fucking up both
