This tweet, now almost a year old, is the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about at night.

I’m sorry that I don’t want my daughter’s future squandered on a war desired by Benjamin Netanyahu so he can stay out of prison

Man, we're gonna *lose* lose this war, aren't we?

My opening assumption was a strategic defeat but tactical stalemate that Donald would spin into a win in domestic politics because we killed a lot more of them than they did of us, but this is gonna be like if Vietnam and the oil crisis had a baby.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Pentagon bans press photographers over ‘unflattering’ photos of Hegseth: report Pentagon implemented a new rule last year that led to mainstream media outlets losing press credentials

We are at WAR !

PETE HEGSETH is worried about how he looks.

If they are looking for a good side, Pete Hegseth does not have one.

There is no photo editing tool to fix it. 😡

I keep thinking that this must have been what 1914 was like with all members of the ruling class on both sides being sure it would be a short victorious war.

Showing this to myself in 2022 and having an aneurysm

I wish we didn’t have to pick up the tab for his mother’s refusal to hug him as a child.

almost literally Trump tonight

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

Per the Bible, Jesus specifically identified himself with the poor, the people others turn away (and he suggested you likely go to hell if u do that), and those in prisons

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

Marco Rubio greets Chuck Schumer in January 2026 at the Capitol Visitor Center

A close-up of his foot shows his shoes are too big

hmm

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

This has 100% happened. The DOGE boys have an unmonitored, unsecured Signal chat where they make their plans and openly exchange data that are completely illegal for them to have viewed, let alone exfiltrated.

Trump should lean into the bit with the shoes thing. Clown shoes, high heels, those wooden shoes the Dutch wear, and so forth. Test the limits of what he can get away with.

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on

I remember when that was pretty standard stuff for a Christian to say.

this is...insane???

shoplifting is bad. cheating on your taxes is bad. smoking on the train is bad. not picking up your dog’s poop is bad.

we live in a society, act like it!

I laughed out loud at this because it's true.

Pete Hegseth forced out of non-profit leadership roles for misconduct – report Whistleblower report accuses Trump Pentagon pick of financial mismanagement, intoxication and sexist behavior

This is what he does everytime an organization gives him control of their money. He literally ran one veteran's organization into the ground before Fox. I can't imagine he stopped doing the other things in this article either. 🤷‍♀️

Marching orders are given. "That school had it coming." See it parroted by influencers and media outlets.

We have, by far, the biggest, most expensive military in the world not to mention enough nukes to eradicate the entire world population dozens of times over, but we're supposed to believe we're also so feeble we were at risk of attack by a military a fraction of our size. Complete and utter bullshit

you know who wasn’t so fucking stupid as to start a war with iran with no strategy or conceivable purpose? george w bush. george w bush knew that was stupid as shit. george w bush.

boomers aren’t allowed to complain about nixon anymore. i’d kill for nixon right now.

I would watch a West Wing remake named "Everyone Hates JD."

True redemption doesn’t usually involve an increase in power and influence for those redeemed, and we should be wary of those who try to gain those privileges from a pose of repentance.

Just war theory - Wikipedia

I, with a Catholic grade school knowledge of the Just War Theory can tell they aren't making any attempts to actually follow it. The criteria is super specific and covers behavior during the war too.

The Wikipedia article:

We're less than 2 years in and America is weaker, poorer, and more vulnerable than it has ever been in my lifetime. I don't know if most Americans understand that. Even beyond the money, we're going to be paying off their foreign policy decisions for decades.
