"alligator" in context of IDF refers to metaphorical concept. Often used to describe the most immediate or pressing danger that needs to be addressed, similar to dealing w/the closest alligator in infested waters. This metaphor emphasizes prioritizing urgent threats over less immediate concerns.

The fluffing of Anduril by the media will be someday be the subject of political science theses. How is it that media just rolled over and agreed to do propaganda for Peter Thiel's vehicle for taking over the US military?

As in, it's not just Gwyneth Paltrow that is the problem here. It's that new, minor defense contractor Anduril, which just happens to be a Peter Thiel instrument, is getting relentless favorable press coverage. They got a segment on 60 Minutes!

Les Houthis entrent en guerre aux côtés de l'Iran, le trafic en mer Rouge menacé

S’il était un personnage de Jean de la Fontaine, Donald Trump serait sans doute, ces jours-ci, la mouche du coche. Depuis quelques heures, les interventions du président américain dans le conflit entre Israël et l’Iran semblent relever autant de l’inutile...

“If he were a healthy person—not a sociopath…—he would have worried about the loss of life and the scale of injuries (on both sides) and feared triggering a regional conflict that would seriously harm Middle East allies and U.S. military bases.” www.americaamerica.news/p/confrontin...

"If he were a healthy person..." So many more people would be alive today.. So many women would have one less devastating trauma in their life... And the United States wouldn't be crashing.. Alternatively, the American people could have just not elected a sick criminal traitor POTUS.

The organized Asian-American groups committed little of the violence but they were important in filling out the crowd and in whipping up enthusiasm with flags, banners, speeches. And they self-documented with a LOT of video.

Yes. And if these were members of Vietnamese diaspora you're talking about, that story was also totally ignored by the media. There was vast amounts of organizing in expat Chinese and Vietnamese communities, huge groups attending. And South Vietnamese flags all over the US Capitol.

Anyone who has MAGA in their family or friends heard MAGA talking about outlines of the certification scheme at multiple levels: state cert, electoral slate, congressional cert and counting, Jan 6. And the open planning all happened pretty much immediately after the election was called for Biden.

This is a misrepresentation of Jan 6. It was not a spontaneous action by a violent mob. It was a planned action to storm the Capitol building, conceived of by politicians and led by 200+ Proud Boys who tried to avoid the violence themselves, and goaded the crowd to act instead. 1/

“By the time a violent right-wing mob stormed the Capitol, it had become clear that the gravest, most existential threat to American democracy wasn’t a vicious and homicidal band of Islamic extremists,” Rosa Brooks argues. “It was our own citizens”

Tom Homan on Delaney Hall: "I went there and had lunch. I sat in the cafeteria with detainees. Had the same meal they had. It was spaghetti and meat sauce, it was green beans, it was charro beans, it was rolls and butter, it was fruit, it was dessert. I ate it. Now is it a 5 star cuisine? No."

The biggest Epstein scandal is that the pedophile mentioned most in the Epstein files, over one million times, is the President of the United States, who is using his Justice Department to hide the evidence that he raped children.

Amanda Ungaro, a former Brazilian model and former partner of a Trump envoy, has made an unverified allegation tying Melania Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including a claim that Mrs. Trump had been an “escort” for Epstein. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-envo...

A horrific Russian strike on a residential building in Konotop, Sumy region. A woman was killed. Three people were rescued from under the rubble, and a child was injured. A second strike damaged private homes.

There are lots of Trumpy Republican lawyers in America. Only one of them has the distinction of being the prime orchestrator and key executor of the Trump administration’s Jeffrey Epstein coverup. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and Cathy Young (link in reply):

The wealthy never contribute anything positive either. All extraction for their dynasties.

"The "Borrow, Don't Earn" strategy: Instead of selling stock and paying the long-term capital gains tax, billionaires like Bezos can fund their lifestyles by taking out low-interest loans directly against their massive stock portfolios." They are living off money from the assets they own.

You've probably been hearing a lot lately about how much the super-rich pay in taxes. Take a look at this chart.

For people who don't understand why this is a problem and once thought, like me, that "they earned it, why should they be taxed so much", the answer is: it's impossible to be that wealthy without stressing or abusing the system in some way. The high Tax rate for the richest reflects that.

My fave form of this searingly applicable quote

🤥

When a journalist finally pushes back on your lies to your face

This is who represents us in the U.S.

He looks like a trapped, feral animal. NARCISSIST REVISIONIST HISTORY; tells himself stories to fit his desired narrative. When the story stops working, he changes it. He’s SHOCKED-CONFUSED-ANGRY when others disagree. Narcissists MUST believe their own lies bc their fantasies define their existence.

Insanity

Trump cornered… youtube.com/shorts/nLPKH...

Ummm… www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

He’s an immature, ill man with no character, a 5 yr old with a really large allowance… & 35 felons. You are all allowing him to lead. We can end this. Now. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The island, Sazan, is part marine nature preserve, part military base with bunkers and tunnels. Whoever owns it controls a strait between Albania and Italy, It is needed by NATO and EU if there were a war. Kushner is not buying it himself, he's fronting for a US based LLC backed by Saudi money.

We need action here The US belongs to the majority of us who are not oligarchs, billionaires, or red hat wearing racist and cultists This fall and in 2028 it has to be utterly clear to all of these fascist elements that they are not welcome - and we will not stand to see them remain in power

Let’s take a page out of their book! We need to organize and rally like that!

People with MORALS, INTELLIGENCE and Human DECENCY would recognize where they're NOT WANTED but not the Trump's because to THEM, the ONLY thing that matters to THEM is WHAT THEY WANT! The RICH DON'T need yet ANOTHER place to WASTE their money while giving the finger to the Working CLASS!

We should love America this much!

Albanians are smarter than Americans from the looks of it...
