What do you think is different now?

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Donald Trump attempted to overthrow the American government, and the Biden administration responded by appointing the most conciliatory AG they could find and waiting 2 years to appoint a special prosecutor. That sure looks like letting it happen to me.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

You know, like damn! If your message or email got “trump” in the headline I don’t even care.
I’m fighting for what we want, not reacting to what that asshole does.
Either campaign on moving forward or stop with it. trump is a dead end, talk to me about what we’re doing

This is why dem 4d chess politics is so ass: instead of taking a straightforward "fuck you and your illegal war, any dead troops are on your head" stance that would be genuinely popular, some Dems are trying to contort themselves to appeal to some "middle ground" voters that don't actually exist.

of being America-hating terrorist commies who Hate Our Troops no matter what they do. We've known this since Iraq, why are we still falling for it?

2: Unlike Iraq, this war is deeply unpopular from the outset and a solid majority of Americans are against it.

Peak consultant brain:

The argument here is that, now that Trump has unilaterally started his illegal war of aggression, Dems should vote to fund it because if a patriot battery runs out of missiles and a soldier dies, Republicans can blame Dems, which:

1: Republicans will always accuse dems

What pressure to support funding? A large majority of Americans are against this war and Republicans will call you traitorous commies anyway.

this is why I got into Black feminist theory. the research on sexual violence was VERY white when I first started researching like 15-20 years ago. in the West, gender is VERY racialized

Like, theyre a loyal base that can be cheaply bought off with socially conservative policy positions, but theyre not the ones actually driving the bus anymore.

I think that was the case under W. Bush, but not here, because none of the shot callers behind this are the sort of millenarian Christian fundies that go for that sort of thing. If anything I think we tend to overstate the role of evangelicalism in driving the right the last decade.

y'know,

and i say this as a buddhist,

all yall need jesus.

That train is never late.

1: Chasing after the center right is what Harris '24 did. Howd that go?

2: The "center right" will never countenance actually holding this administration and it's goons fully accountable, and if we don't, it'll set the precedent for executive impunity that will see us right back here soon enough.

These people being such fucking tools really adds insult to injury.

now thats a response

Army warrant officers will ‘bid’ against each other for their next bonus Senior Army warrant officers will bid against each other for a bonus that they will take to sign up for six more years of active duty.

1. This is nuts.

2. Once again, we remain far too tolerant of MAGA behavior.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Forget travelling to different countries for their food, you should travel to other countries for their version of other countries food.

I’m gonna go to Seoul for a good huevos rancheros.

I’m going to France for their sushi.

Find me Uganda for a good Churrasco!
