It’s the exact same mechanisms that were used to try to turn the entirety of the American fascism problem into “Russian operations” it’s an attempt to by white moderates to externalize the threat in order to maintain the myth of American exceptionalism.

maintenance of the myth is all that matters.

Since the wimps are too scared of even the idea of us guillotining the tech billionaires, can we just start wrecking the data centres instead. Or is that too much for their nerves too.

The strait of hormuz is open for transit defense secretary Pete hegseth said. The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping he said it is open for transit should Iran not do that

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results.

This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Repulsive message, to tell us that if we want jobs, we have to sacrifice drinkable water, cheap energy, and a livable climate.

This is why corrupt politicians attack the Green New Deal: under the GND, we wouldn’t have to choose.

Maybe I'm of a cynical turn of mind, but this suggests his capos expect to require actual military protection during a national emergency in the near future.
