Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

It's good for different localities to have little quirks. No reason to have a monoculture

It's always been my year

I am not making this up: two jacked guys at the gym talking about the price of RAM

Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.

"In her statement, posted on the Danish government website, [Danish Prime Minister Mette] Frederiksen said she was addressing the US 'very directly'. She said Denmark - 'and thus Greenland' - was a NATO member and covered by the alliance's security guarantee"

It was a good run

I guess StackOverflow is done.

damn who could have imagined that a commander-in-chief unilaterally using military force against another sovereign state with no consequences could have gone this way

It's so cool how people born in 2007 are 19 now.

basically the equivalent of witnessing a shooting and talking about how impressive the gun is

plus it seems by all accounts an internal coup facilitated by the US military acting as rogue mercenaries. this is like Late Antiquity type stuff tbh

It's funny they had Congressional hearings or something for rap lyrics 30 years ago

greetings from hell

Dang, it's like... one battle... after another...

Joanna Newsom let Bill Callahan hit it and he still kept on making sad elephant music, no wonder she dumped his sorry ass!

There's also something to this whole phenomenon about how Americans will go to work when they are clearly sick

Americans call a bad cold "the flu" and then think that is what the flu is

“this is not just the flu” is incorrect, this is what the flu has always been and it is why i am annoying about getting the flu shot. get your kids the flu shot. anyone able to get the flu shot! this is devastating!

New York City is a terrible place to live if you don't particularly like getting invited to events and activities.

that being said, i do think the bulk of the reaction to this (not to discount some fawning in establishment circles) seems surprisingly negative compared to iraq or noriega. obviously some of that *is* the unpopularity of trump, but i it's also his fault for being too lazy to manufacture consent

New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

its incredible to read how the regime has to do a hard sell on the oil companies for this. president grandpas 1989 brain does it again. oil is 50 dollars a barrel and the infrastructure is degraded and the situation completely confused and politically volatile. oil ceos not exactly excited. amazing

The manufacturers of consent are quiet quitting

I want everyone to witness this AI-generated fake fitness journey posted by the mayor of Irvington, New Jersey, a city of 61,000, replete with really obvious consumer-grade AI writing and images www.insidernj.com/press-releas...

Just finished!!! This was my first playthrough. The Chinese localization was fantastic, I learned so much and it was so immersive. Think I'm gonna rerun it on a female corpo run.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Congressional Democrats furious at Trump over Venezuela/Maduro, with some floating retaliation. Ramirez: "Trump must be impeached." Huffman: "We are in 25th Amendment territory now." "The president has lost his mind," says Rep. Gil Cisneros. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/01/03/t...

Today is Quintidi the 15th of Nivôse in the year 234. Nivôse is the month of snow. Today we celebrate the rabbit.#JacobinDay More information on the rabbit

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

FOX NEWS: What are your expectations when you get briefings from senior Trump administration officials in the coming days? GALLEGO: Well, they're just gonna lie

It’s actually unbelievable how feckless and spineless European leaders are

Even if this is true I'm sorry but whatever happened to personal responsibility. Not my problem Americans can't handle the good stuff.

the poasting/content presidency, it's not a joke

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

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.

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

Him getting to walk on a mistrial would be genuinely the funniest thing ever

Again, the year a web forum took over the executive branch of a world power

my longest oof ever

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

Television is the president

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

I'm starting to question the legitimacy of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

He consumes every facet of our lives and has for a decade and I despise him for it
