Trump is a Ferengi

When a clown sits on the throne, he does not become a king, the kingdom becomes a circus.

MAGA is utterly unserious. Trump's manifest incompetence, disastrous trade policies, fiscal irresponsibility, Gestapo-LARPing ICE, wars of aggression, palpable dementia, and sex-trafficking pedophilia all failed to spark MAGA schism. Instead, the right devours itself over a neocon micropenis.

Cloudflare AI support is a fucking kafka-esque nightmare

Did Trump and Vance say thank you?

Great points that align w/ my experience building AI/ML systems for DoD. I'd note OpenAI's claim to fully control their stack because it's entirely cloud-hosted is wildly misleading. DoD cloud is not normal commercial cloud. It runs on isolated networks (SIPR/NIPR/JWICS) under strict DoD control.

This is why vaccination is a public health concern, not just a private choice. Anti-vaxxers risk not just their own lives or their children's lives, but the lives of innocent bystanders.

Is the answer to this question not obvious? MAGA is a cult of personality built around a Russian asset. The broader movement is compromised because Russian electoral interference has favored conservatives, and they know it and do not want to bite the hand that feeds them.

Does anyone else remember how peaceful the first few months of 2021 were, when Trump was banned from Twitter and seemingly disappeared from public life?

I don't know what the big deal with self-driving cars is. We've had horses, like, forever

This is unsurprising to anyone who read the National Security Strategy. Notably, the NSS started out by distinguishing between ends and means in grand strategy, then identified having a strong military as an end, rather than the means it so clearly is. These idiots think strength is its own reward.

Trump's Orwellian attempts to redefine words make it worth keeping in mind: a regime is not a specific set of national leaders, it is the method by which such leaders are chosen. Removing Maduro was not regime change, because the same structures for choosing leaders remained after he was gone.

Why is it that Thom Tillis just now is realizing Noem killed her dog despite the massive amount of press it received prior to her senate confirmation hearing? Apparently, he was fine with her murdering puppies when he voted to confirm her as DHS secretary. What changed?

In combination with the US approaching its magazine limits, this spells doom for democracy in Taiwan

Markwayne Mullin may be the only person in politics dumber than Noem. Why are we putting a plumber in charge of the largest law enforcement agency in the world?

Nation Admittedly Curious To Hear How Trump Pronounces ‘Strait Of Hormuz’ https://theonion.com/nation-admittedly-curious-to-hear-how-trump-pronounces-strait-of-hormuz/

Well, with unlimited weapons it should be possible to give the Ukrainians everything they need to stop Russia's relentless attacks on their civilian population, shouldn't it? Unless Trump is just full of shit, of course, but what are the odds of that?

This is not an endless war, it's just a war that continues never ending

CNN's swansong, before they disappear into the intellectual blackhole that is right wing owned media

Staffer: Sir, good news. One of the F-15 pilots ejected safely and is on the ground. Calm and cool under pressure. Badass aura. A video taken by a thankful Kuwaiti civilian is going viral. Hegseth: Fuck yeah. What's his name? Staffer: Okay, so, here's the part you won't like...

This sounds like a really good argument for not starting a fucking war in the first place

It looks like Trump briefly considered putting the medal around his own neck, perhaps to fulfill his apparently long-held desire to award himself a Congressional Medal of Honor. Either that or he was struggling to puzzle out how a medal works physically

It appears that female tortoises are throwing themselves off cliffs in Macedonia. Why? To escape inshells www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/s...

One way we can tell American democracy is under threat is how little effort Trump put into convincing anyone attacking Iran was justified. Democracies do not go to war without public support for the war. America has gone to war without public support for the war. Is America a democracy anymore?

The US may experience magazine exhaustion because of the war against Iran, creating a window for China to take Taiwan without needing to worry about US intervention. In terms of weather, April and October are the only months appropriate for a Taiwan invasion, and April is coming up fast.

Senate Dems need to hold the line on the SAVE Act. There can be no higher priority than preventing Republicans from seizing unchallenged power by destroying democracy.

Ok? Guess I'm never visiting your shitty site again then

We now know what shocks the conscience more than an unprovoked armed assault and kidnapping of an innocent passerby: summary execution of an innocent passersby (at least when recorded by many cameras). ICE will continue to escalate the violence and abuse our civil rights. Until we stop them.

The Gabbard whistleblower complaint has been withheld from Congress for ~32 weeks. By law, the IC inspector general and DNI have 3 weeks after receiving a complaint to transmit it to the House and Senate intel committees. 32 weeks is a helluva lot more than 3. Yet more Trump admin lawlessness.

This checks out. Trump has been too busy wrecking the country to traffic children

Our ICE problems are fundamentally about the complete lack of accountability under federal law for federal law enforcement officers who violate our civil rights. We need to reduce procedural barriers like qualified immunity while extending §1983 to cover violations by federal as well as state LEOs.

We should stop calling administrative warrants "warrants" because it suggests that there is some kind of procedural protection in place to avoid government abuse. There isn't. That's why it is so Orwellian for the Trump admin to claim ICE is relying on warrants to enter homes.

The house is holding the Clintons in contempt over Epstein but not Bondi. That’s where we are as a country. Harassing old retired people while the rapist in the White House gets away with covering up his own crimes

It's not surprising Corporal Bonespurs doesn't know how courageous and committed our allied troops were in Afghanistan (and elsewhere). The man is a coward and a fool, with no respect for anything except his own ego. I hope our British and Danish friends know most Americans are grateful to them.

Trump still has around 80% approval among Republicans. It is entirely incomprehensible to me how anyone can be so stupid. If you are still a Republican after 10 years of this idiot, you are a fucking moron. Plain and simple.

Trump's argument that Norway's government is responsible for the Nobel Committee stems from the same mistake underlying Putin's claim that US pro-democracy NGOs are CIA-controlled. Putin never lived in a civil society that isn't wholly government-controlled. Trump is too dumb to know the difference.

Precisely which law is it that authorizes the military to invade a foreign nation because the president's feefees got hurt?

Images of ICE in Minneapolis are familiar to those of us who follow events in autocratic regimes. Like Ukraine 2013, this is our Maidan moment: time to confront the billionaire oligarchs, time to face down their militarized riot cops, time for **we the people** to take back control of our democracy.

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

Assuming the country survives this ICE onslaught, we need to have a long and serious national conversation about demilitarizing police in general. There's no reason they need to be dressed in fatigues, wearing masks, and loaded up with weaponry. This is a free nation, not an occupied territory.

Threatening to attack Greenland only serves Russian interests. Not only does it strain NATO to the breaking point, but even without an actual attack, the mere existence of the threat forces Europeans to withhold defense resources that otherwise could go to Ukraine as a hedge against US aggression.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

Russia blew up Kyiv's power grid amid -15° frost. Instead of freezing in their apartments, some Kyivans threw an outdoor disco.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

When you have the law on your side, pound the law. When you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. When you have neither the facts nor the law on your side, pound the table.

If ICE agents are worried about getting run over, maybe they shouldn't be wearing fucking camo
