it doesn't matter that they're liars and bluffers, it doesn't matter that they're pussies, it doesn't matter that they (probably) won't do what they're threatening to do. its enough that they are saying it. its enough that it's possible. this is not acceptable to any living creature on the planet

this is a little on the nose

had to go check and see if that post was real and the banal herbal medslop ad below it really gives the genocidal nuclear holocaust threat an unexpected piquancy

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Killeen tx. What the fuck is going on in there

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

probably either dirk kempthorne or joique bell

pretty crazy that’s where we live

Mr President sir you cannot rely on any so-called "solicitor general" to speak for you! From now on you must argue all your cases at the supreme court yourself

To my trans friends, my message today remains the same as it has always been: Do you want to grab some tacos later? I have a little bit of work to finish up but should be free in like half an hour

Supreme Court legalizes torture.

Hi it's my first day of dictator school, is it a good idea to make the army hate me

The difference between these two is racism

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

this is a wild kind of side effect of this transactional mentality. they gave you a gift and gifts are good! but uh, you have somehow created a situation where passage through this strait is now a matter of iran's largesse. one would think this is actually extreme weakness. youre a charity case!

ipad baby president

I strongly encourage every American to visit the Gettysburg battlefield site, look down from Little Round Top, and decide for yourself whether Lee was a “brilliant military tactician.”

The new goal of the war is to undo the fuckup we caused by starting the war, American century of humiliation in full effect

fuck Bob Mueller but if you're still calling Russiagate a "fantasy" in 2026 you're a goddamn idiot or a stooge.

I know this is an obvious thing to say but we should talk more about what a racist this guy is. He’s as racist as George Wallace or Strom Thurmond but unlike them he often escapes having racism mentioned as a leading cause for all his decisions.

figured out why the sentient basketball irks me

Patrick Ewing on the Magic, Hakeem on the Raptors, Jerry Rice with the Seahawks, Ichiro on the Marlins, Charles Barkley on the Rockets, Karl Malone on the Lakers, 2015 Peyton Manning, Christian Laettner in the NBA, Adam Morrison in the NBA, Wayne Rooney managing anywhere, Charlie Weis at Kansas

for years I've thought it's funny that people think the president has a lever in his office where he can raise/lower gas prices at will, so it's kinda funny to learn that he actually kinda does, it's just that it's labeled "bomb iran for no reason" and it only goes one way lmao

If you lose standing for something that’s a victory and you will be welcomed by voters in the future if you continue to stand on it. It’s better to lose on principle than win on strategy. Because you pushed an agenda forward. The only true failed campaigns are the ones that flame out chasing polls.

extremely telling that this man's persistent humanity terrifies powerful people in both parties

I really have a special hatred for this guy. Like he's not the most stupid or most evil or most bloodthirsty, but something about the way he smiles and tries to be all jolly and aw shucks about it just inspires a totally different genre of anger than any other trump guy. Truly just a fucking worm.

I predicted putting my hand in the fire would burn it. I saw this coming a long way off. It’s a gift I have very strongly. And now my hand is burned, yes.

This has the causation exactly backwards. As @utopia-defer.red has pointed out, Trumpism is caudillo politics coming to a USA where the right hates and fears the people as much as their Latin American counterparts.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

🎶Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

This is what the anti-trans movement looks like: violent, aggressive, intimidating. Miles away from the tiny roster of middle-aged white women that the media spotlights to try and depict it as something respectable.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

every person in this is depraved, evil, needs to be put in prison for the rest of their lives and must suffer for these crimes against humanity

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

It's honestly shocking, if not really surprising anymore, how disconnected these weirdos are from basic understanding of how things work.

the cheapest and most abundant and utile political resource for the american ruling class is muslim life. this has been true my entire life. you can never go wrong slaughtering muslims

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms. He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.

"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

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay

Tommy needy drinky

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.
