the number of people who can't clock bad AI-generated video footage as such really makes me more sympathetic to the people who fell for the Cottingsley fairies. Our eye for the real in video or photo footage isn't natural, it's a learned skill.

You have to understand that the only time in their lives these people ever feared personal consequences was September 10-12, 2025.

Uneducated voters will always be a greater danger to this country than immigrants.

I’ll take this a step further: I don’t trust people who don’t hate Trump and the current GOP.

Sure nbc that’s a great story when the Steelers qb wasn’t a 40+ year old oddball lol

how the fuck can any journalist remain on this fucking website.

This is an excellent analogy; Luigi/Trump takes out one guy, the populists cheer but nothing changes

It‘s the Luigi Killing but for international politics

articles of impeachment from the minority *are* strongly worded letters

In case there’s any doubt what this Regime actually thinks about Venezuelans. They treat Venezuelan refugees who fled Maduro’s brutality like garbage, even sending them to El Salvador. Trump invaded Venezuela for his own power & his cronies’ wealth, not to help Venezuelans.

Trump's critique of the Iraq War in particular was that it wasn't rapacious or brutal enough, and many dumb-dumbs and liars heard this and concluded (or pretended to conclude) that Trump was anti-war

"This has been [Trump's] major critique of US wars in the past; In short, that they are not evil enough" www.unpopularfront.news/p/crude-ideo...

To build on this: the only people who are real in this framing are TV's Adam and his mutuals. Everyone else is a Faceless Other hired to (and judged by) their ability to deliver the world Adam feels entitled to. It is a fundamentally undemocratic and inhuman world view.

The Trump administration installed another socialist dictator

the most braindead kind of take in these situations. we've had the unquestioned power to turn most countries into glass parking lots for most of our lifetimes. who on earth is still impressed by this?

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

The problem with this analogy is that; rather than cockroaches, the Republicans 'in the house' are your roommates. They're real people, with agency and lives.

Reactionaries are mired in a mommy/daddy politics where liberals are the boring, responsible mother and conservatives are the exciting, abusive father.

remarkable how yet again, Donald Trump has found a way to betray *everyone* who is foolish enough to trust him.

Didn't 40 people die? Were any of them our troops? Why hasn't anybody asked that question?

Biden didn’t make this obsequious suck up feel special and that couldn’t be.

Oh you’ve had the stunning original insight that Republicans are a depersonalized force of nature and Democrats are the responsible adults we *should* be able to trust to fix nature, I guess? Even though more of us decided not to vote to fix things at all, or voted in favor of the destructive force?

the attempt to re-do the iconic bin laden raid shots is pretty obvious imo bsky.app/profile/soci...

There’s a lot of people on here who are like “I’m a bold truth teller” and then their bold truth is like “you suck at everything so don’t try” and “your kid is stupid so fuck you for saying you love them.”

Yeah gonna go out on a limb and say President Harris wouldn’t have kidnapped the president of Venezuela for (????)

protect the military from what, public opinion?

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism

Trump: They won’t care about skyrocketing healthcare costs and the Epstein Files because I captured Maduro! Average American: Who?

1) Service members have an ethical obligation to disobey unethical orders. That's what having ethics MEANS. 2) There is no legal get out of jail free card for this. You have to make the choice and deal with the consequences. 3) The more rank you have, the more my attitude to 2) is "tough shit."

Did they just "all lives matter" trans rights? 😂😭

My dad is such a dearheart. He's been taking his crystalline Magi figures and having them travel in his living room from East to West to visit the Christ Child. He excitedly told us of this plan on Christmas Day and here he is executing it.

the *only* thing that REALLY, TRULY matters is that in November, 2024 this country decided that they wanted Donald Trump & the GOP to be back in charge of everything, and no amount of angrily replying to whatever Congressional staffer is manning their Bluesky account can change that.

The thing about all these statements from Democrats is that I simply dgaf because I am apparently one of the fleetingly few people On Here who remembers that social media isn't real life and that whatever these guys post online doesn't matter & everyone will have forgotten these posts in two days.

No matter how dumb things seem, they can apparently always be dumber: "Mr. Maduro's regular public dancing and other displays of nonchalance in recent weeks helped persuade some on the Trump team that the Venezuelan president was mocking them and trying to call what he believed to be a bluff"

All of this, and all of it is a big part of why I continually emphasize that this war, the lawlessness of ICE, the persecution of political enemies - this is all caused not by a single man but by the GOP more broadly, and it is likely that individuals and factions in the GOP are exploiting his...

Maybe I just have paranoia that a LOT of the white leftist crowd who grew up with conservative parents secretly still have those attitudes internalized, but sublimate them. They protest the aesthetics, not the outcome. Like, choosing not to vote in opposition to literal neo-Nazis.

Yup. Something about the absurd hatred and the desire to purge the Democratic Party back to one that focuses nearly exclusively on class. AKA, one that lifts up white people, but maintains racial inequalities.

not enough journalists remember what happened to Julius Streicher

I'm sorry if you genuinely believed the brutal, corrupt dictator who loves every brutal, corrupt dictator on the planet was going to overthrow a brutal, corrupt, dictatorial regime.

Do NOT thank them for their service.

Want to see what MAGA is thinking right now?

I distinctly remember in the first Trump years when people would be like “no, you can’t call them fascist”

it is both true that dem leadership statements suck and also true that if you are vomiting in anger over them are you are very definitely reacting to the wrong thing right now.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

All other questions aside, the simple material fact of this post is almost impossible to believe. The president sharing to the whole world a photo of an illegally captured head of state just hours after the fact. You couldn’t realistically include such a detail in a direct-to-DVD thriller.
