Kimmel Goes Nuclear on Newsmax Host for Trying to Get Him Fired “How does this not embarrass them?” Kimmel asked of the network.

It would be cool if prominent figures and journalists aggressively called out right wing propagandists instead of routinely leaving the task to late night comedians and satirists

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

more: "the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda."

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

"I will destroy anyone and anything to win. There are no rules in war. We will hit them then when they are down, we will keep hitting them. We can do anything we want. No one can stop us. No rules can constrain us"

الله حمد الله حد الله م اللحم المجد اللوحة اللوحه Headlines 360 @headlines360 TENSION: IRAN HAS REJECTED CEASEFIRE NEGOTIATIONS, SAYS THEY ARE READY FOR U.S. GROUND INVASION.

Trump and his administration may be confused — but Russia is not our friend.

They threaten our allies, our interests, and our democracy.

All we need is one Republican to put country over party and help hold Russia accountable.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”

The Republican Party: Come for the Christian Nationalism, stay for the White Supremacy.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Get lost with this garbage.

You knew it was coming.

"I'M AN ELECTION JUDGE FOR 10 YEARS. NON-CITIZENS CANNOT VOTE ALREADY AND OUR SYSTEM CATCHES THE FEW WHO TRY. NO NON-CITIZEN WOULD EVER RISK THEIR ENTIRE FUTURE IN THE UNITED STATES TO CAST A BALLOT! IT IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY 5 YEARS IN JAIL. IT ALSO MAKES THE PERSON DEPORTABLE, WITH NO WAIVER AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE REAL WORLD. THE REAL PROBLEM REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO "SOLVE" IS THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS (ESP. WOMEN) DON'T LIKE THEIR POLICIES AND WILL VOTE AGAINST THEM." @LISAMLPAC @Amygdalainuse

Life is short enough we sure as hell don’t want war

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Bastard

Hearing that the same medical team that regrew trump's ear also treated jonathan ross' internal bleeding.

This guy should sign up to go fight in Iran.

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

Sad day when a Ford worker is held to a higher standard than the President of the United States....

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
