I can’t be the only one to remember this Recall that Platner worked for Blackwater (or whatever Prince had renamed it) well after its infamy in Iraq. www.npr.org/2021/07/01/1...

I for sure believe he gave Clinton the sloppy toppy.

What do these folks propose to do with people who put babies in concentration camps? Or shoot mothers and ICU nurses to death in the street? Or who have abused or covered up the abuse (and worse) of thousands of women and girls? What of people from abroad who have aided the above abuses?

It *can* be a problem, but one of the pols most closely identified with Evangelicalism, Pres. Carter, was unabashedly left of center. Forging a path out of hateful right wing politics that comports with religious teaching is an unalloyed good.

Who up brothering they Karamazovs?

If I get served this I’m throwing hands.

The thing with Trump is that unlike his predecessors there’s *nothing* positive anyone can point to. GWB legitimately worked to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa, Nixon created the EPA, even Hoover (before becoming pres) worked to mitigate famine in Eastern Europe post-WWI.

Oftentimes bullying was wrong, but sometimes people got bullied because they were weird little freaks who needed to be reminded they weren’t part of polite society.

Look…I don’t care if someone is from New Jersey. Consenting adult and all that, but do they have to be so open about it? In my day being from New Jersey was something you kept private.

This is because we put all our shit in the street for all the world to see for better or worse. Euros will often sneer, but mention the Roma or Albanians or Turks and all of a sudden they sound like the second coming of fucking Reinhard Heydrich. Casual racism in Europe is off the charts.

Talmbout “Gerontocracy” while boosting the dude who was 75 in 2016 and will be 89 at the end of his current senate term

I just feel like Black history and American history were in phase for a couple decades and are now drifting out of phase. That is normal and necessary. The question is what we do in those times.

This is art, cinema, human endeavor made manifest.

Few in power who can affect all of this want to take it seriously because they can’t accept what taking this seriously would require.

My Greenland prediction: 1.) The U.S. won't attack. 2.) It won't attack because it was stopped. 3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

Wait wait wait, the fucking 'don't send me to die in a random Middle Eastern war' guy retweeted that?

Such a rich text

Don’t be gay, fellas. Put these huge balls in your mouths.

You’re missing the point but let me make this clear: you, stranger, do not get to lecture Black Americans on their handling of fascism. Thanks!

Honestly really sucks that Sky left

the republicwave that was promised

now you got me making reconstructionwave

George H.W. Bush lent China a helping hand after the CCP regime committed the Tiananmen Square massacre by helping China reach more export markets, including the US. In hindsight that's one of the worst strategic mistakes any US president had made. Would have been better off to let China implode.

Sources! Leak to Marisa! It is a matter of the health of our republic.

I love this song (reminds me of my mom) and remember seeing the band play it live on TV on SNL as a kid. I always liked the old school NYC-ness of the video when I was little youtu.be/PJwt2dxx9yg?...

I’ve seen this personally with some of my stepmom’s family. Yes, there are indeed Latinos who affirmatively voted for and support this. Even ones with noticeable Spanish accents who *no one* would mistake for Anglo-American. Go into any barbershop and you’ll also find more than a few —>

VA has improved drastically since I lived there 20 yrs ago and Southern LA is not really the US, more like the northern Caribbean.

Wine Pussy Beach

Runner up would be The Chronic by Dre (or maybe Violator by Depeche Mode)

None of these people should be welcomed back into polite society when this train wreck ends. They should be forever branded for what they are: soulless political operatives and grifters who cared more about elevating themselves than the wellbeing of America’s children. Bc people are fucking dying.

So true. My wife and I approaching 50 and growing up as POC in red states a few years post-Civil Rights really gives a special insight on modern politics. Our friends and colleagues (even those not white men) who have only lived and been educated in big, blue states continually try to think of some

Adonai got shooters

I used to think that no one held these people in more contempt than their own politicians, but that’s no longer true. I have a bottomless well of contempt for these morons. Just mean and stupid all the way down.

Me: My cousin can cook the most elaborate, high concept French cuisine you’ve ever had and is also a wine expert with decades of experience. Also me: Another cousin once offered me stewed raccoon. (in fairness it was delicious)

This offends every molecule of my being as a born and bred Louisianan of Cajun and Creole ancestry.

Oh nothing, just me stewing in my own funk on a 20 hr flight to Central Asia.

Yes there is a culture war and I will do everything to ensure that liberals/the broad left win it. The opposing side’s culture is backwards and should be cleansed from society.

It’s all fun and games until the local ball field becomes an execution site.

20% of Americans with strong opinions on the renovatio imperii and Gothic Wars

These are the same people who have been shrieking "BEND THE KNEE!" for 11 years -- what the fuck do they think bending the knee looks like? IT LOOKS LIKE THIS!
