war overseas, war in american cities, the largest tax increase on the middle class in history…no reason for any of this just stupid people doing stupid things and making your life worse

If Silicon Valley psychos have taught us anything it’s that you can embrace Reddit atheist thought and be much more of a piece of shit than a Lutheran grandma

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

In the land of Dan Crenshaw, the man with two eyes is king.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Just a pathetic party

in politics everything is downstream of power. Democrats not understanding or not willing or able to do the first part renders the rest moot. It's why it's a failed party from the top down.

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

good morning mr president heres your daily read out on the war in iran…no sir, i didnt catch kimmel last night…yes sir, very mean and nasty sir…no sir ive never heard of joyce carol oates either sir

Somebody was saying that watching establishment Democrats learn that saying obviously true things about foreign policy is popular is like watching a toddler take its first steps

propaganda is a key component of governing. so no, the left isnt good at governing. theyre better than the right but thats a low bar and i have high levels of expectation.

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad. "The laws of decency condemn such villainy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New addition to the bookshelf (hi randy)

I find this pretty remarkable from one of the most conservative Dem senators

Now is precisely the time when you pressure the Democrats. Especially when it comes to war and national security they are weak as shit.

Truly an exceptional specimen

Bruh thinks because her partisanship is so obvious that is even more above board while trying to suggest CBS is still normal and neutral.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

SCHUMER: President Trump is attacking Iranian targets at a time when fissile nuclear material costs more than ever before for middle-class Americans,

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

80% of voters oppose war with Iran, but this was a massive bipartisan success for the establishment. Schumer and Jeffries successfully delayed the Khanna/Massie war resolutions bill from last week to Monday. Now that the war is launched, Dems get to vote against it and pretend they were opposed.

“I believe the lawless fascists who are killing American citizens in broad daylight can bring peace to the Middle East by bombing children’s schools without congressional approval.” That’s what you sound like.

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

the guy who wrote the literal book on this stuff is dunking on the admin:

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

This was published today lol

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

most shockingly of all, the alien craft was reportedly adorned with a sort of bumper sticker that said "Earth Hoes Cant Fuck"

“What are you trying to tell me? That i can dodge accountability?” “No, Rachel. i’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

Im envisioning the variety of women who will romance me, their various Ethnicities, etc, when the Dark Net Injectables make me 1 inch taller

In sports, coaches don't yell at the other team's players for scoring. They yell at their own players. For good reason.

GOP House Oversight for literally my entire life

the harris campaign spent a reported $900,000 to advertise on the vegas sphere. not only was this a waste of money -- she lost nevada. but im sure the consultant who brokered the deal - they take a percentage of the ad spend - made out nicely.

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

basically if a post of mine doesn't do well with either the furry pfp crowd or the trans flag username crowd, I consider it an abject failure and do that thing where I whip myself on the back and say my De profundis clamavi ad te Domine type shit

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

The horror stories coming out of here are gonna crush you and Dems had a chance to keep all this shut down but folded to fund them last November. They're paying these monsters with your tax money. I want complicit Dems on trial next to the people in the Trump Administration when this is all over

Only took 11 years of flagrant MAGA racism for contrarian anti-woke culture warriors to get to “pretty darn concerning”

Goodnight

In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU

The proposition of liberalism is dead simple: An attack on the basic rights and political equality of one group is an attack on all of us. We do not know when fascists will turn the violent arms of the state against our group, so we must treat an injury to every group as if it were against our own.
