It's very bad! And the well-resourced Jewish communal organizations that should be on top of this burned all their credibility defending Israeli war crimes and are still primarily focused on playing Israel's lawyer rather than addressing the rapidly spreading gangrene.

we have to build a new global journalism infrastructure from scratch; the existing one has broken beyond repair bsky.app/profile/medi...

If the DNC doesn't want to have to contend with more Platners running for every seat and unseating their incumbents on anti-Israel platfoms, they need to start recalibrating pretty quick.

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

i dont think pundits and columnists should get a mulligan after being catastrophically wrong on the most important issues of our time

the Venezuela example does suggest that Trump wanted a comprador Supreme Leader who would let him personally loot a bunch of Iranian oil. but Israel wants it to became a blighted dystopian hellscape

es lunes

Live look at Kuwaiti air defenses

i wouldnt vote for platner but a lot of people will because theyre desperate for politicians that will identify the actual villains and promise to reverse the power dynamics in this country and dem leadership needs to take note

America can, must, and should blow up the Moon

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.

…if you’re gonna use this trump-led bloodbath to punch left for no reason, don’t be mad at a group of voters you’re imagining in your brain, be upset with the Democratic elite for not fucking winning

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

I've gotta go with the Big Man. www.serebii.net/pokemon30/

wife chasing me around the kitchen table with a rolling pin because she found me in the epstein files being a Mossad Operative

When you are in support of the war but not the way it was declared

I leave Oklahoma and yet between her and Durbin I still have two senators who are dipshits.

holy shit

Can't take any of this shit personally, most of us are on here yelling so we don't annoy our irl loved ones with this garbage

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

I wonder if a hard-line successor will assume power and further destabilize the region just like every other time this has happened

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

How many times do we have to say this but: dead people do not come back. Dead children do not come back. Death is permanent. What happens in 3 months means fuck all to the deaths happening RIGHT NOW

Almost certainly true, and another opportunity to remember that Netanyahu would willingly trade away the safety of every Jew on earth to save his own political career and avoid going to prison for his crimes.

The entire political establishment in the US has been horny for regime change in Iran since 1979. Establishment Dems are hiding behind Trump and the GOP at the insistence of AIPAC and other rich donors. It's a big club, we ain't in it, and this keeps going until we, the people, put an end to it.

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

Yeah, I don’t think Chuck Schumer who was openly mocking Trump for supposedly being too soft on Iran is actually against what’s happening. Their concern is only ever about procedure.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

I’m an internationalists in the sense i think Tel-Aviv should be occupied by coalition forces

his moment has arrived

you can say that someone should kill the guy who keeps murdering children but only bc our nation is so full of people who murder children that it's not even remotely specific

Am I the only one who finds these prediction markets sketchy as hell? Gambling on this seems…bad

if you're too young to remember the 00's, libs pushing "support the troops, hate their commander in chief" is a comply in advance for increasing the defense budget thank you for your attention to this matter

the european elite are just as feckless, venal, and cowardly as ours—it’s all the same class of people invested in the same stuff, vacationing in the same spots, and reading the same garbage—and they are raring to cave just like ours have

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

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

thinking about this and the failure of air america and i wonder if the answer is as simple as "the left doesn't have a billionaire class willing to let talk radio be an ideological loss leader"

Happy birthday to James Worthy, who played the Klingon Koral on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Gambit, Part II." NBA star Worthy met Robert O'Reilly (Gowron) on a flight and O'Reilly talked the producers into hiring him.
