Incoherent but unreviewable. Okay, Bobby.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

If Congress were serious about its Article I powers, it wouldn’t vote to fund a war it didn’t authorize. This is not complicated. SamForNJ.org

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist. It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

Canva strikes again.

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

U.S. Senate votes to undermine Constitutional checks and balances, abrogating responsibility.

ONE PERFECT SHOT: The Birds (1963), Dir. Alfred Hitchcock

I know this is very funny but also pretty striking that our government lies about literally everything, including stuff that's easy to prove. Any Dem who ever sits down to make a deal across the aisle with this captured Congress, you're a dope.

"Thoughts and prayers" are not a valid defense.

"We have always been at war with Eastasia." Bari is neither a journalist nor a good propagandist.

If I'm an author and my work is being adapted by someone other than myself, I think I'd put a clause in the contract to ensure the adaptation follows my storyline and style otherwise what's the point?

Then we elected Biden. Unfortunately, the very stupid leader is back.

“If you know, you know” is one of the worst tautologies out there. It is what it is.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Thread.

Not surprisingly, Rubio can't keep his nonsense straight from day to day.

As a family of four, such a payment would be extremely helpful right now.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

👍

A lot of modern men with power appear to have been desperate and damp for a oracle to tell them what to do, and they are not at ALL interested in if the advice the oracle provides is actually good or accurate or not - that’s not the point.

The most dangerous thing about AI chat bots is how many men with political power treat them *exactly* and unquestioningly like actual Ancient Greek oracles.

"The Spanish-American War never ended."

This is why you shouldn't elect zealots. This is what the evangelical Christian Nationalists want and expect to happen.

Absolutely the fuck not. I don't work with scabs.

With narcissists suffering from dementia, this is typical. There is no consistency from position to position except for their confidence in whatever their position is from day to day.

There's a gapingly wide-open lane for Democrats to attack this war in the form of the now deeply unpopular Iraq War: "Remember how that turned out? This one has *even less* of a plan."

Always good to have a periodic reminder of why I don't listen to this show.

Locally, gas did in fact shoot up by 35 cents/gallon this afternoon.

Here's hoping.

Yes, well, that's not how the rules of engagement work, Mike. You don't commit war crimes to prevent a mythical retaliation.

Idiotic. Only thing the Trump administration will get me to pray for is the end of the Trump administration.

the coverage i'm seeing of Iran/Israel truly does not grasp the role that Evangelical End Times beliefs have played in getting us to this point. the idea of ushering in Armageddon, centered on Israel, is the whole point for some of the people currently in power.

Stop this! Stop doing this stupid shit! It's language-generating code, that's it!

Gotta say having Hegseth specifically give props to Israel for "not having any stupid rules of engagement" kinda kills any moral leg their supporters have to stand on, huh? That's over. Traditional allies in this case being the countries that helped the US end Hitler. Weird Israel is against that.

Enough with the pivot to "kitchen table issues" and economics, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. We are furious about ICE, the rise of fascism, another unjust war. Those are reason enough. Pivoting to consultant-tested pablum like this reads like the rest are fine as long as things are affordable.

Yes, we did. Your remarks were empty preening and posturing, they didn't answer the question, hence the follow-up question.

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

"No stupid rules of engagement" means no Geneva Conventions or other international humanitarian laws, which the U.S. signed and supported for more than a century. Hegseth and Trump are pro-war crimes.

Come on, 🐝.

"As someone whose kids won’t die fighting in the war, it’s important that you understand the flimsy, morally bankrupt justifications for war, and why it’s vital for you to throw more of your children's lives at this one." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

He can't brag about casualties, and he can't fake empathy.

Might want to talk to actual Democrats before making a claim like that.

During the 2024 election cycle, nobody contributed more to Rep. Landsman’s campaign than AIPAC ($385,808). 👇

Also Trump hasn't ruled out using the Insurrection Act. He isn't going to leave legally or peacefully or quietly unless he dies.

This is the bare minimum that every elected Democrat should be saying on the record right now.

This is basically Mike Johnson’s whole reason for being for instance

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
