It's funny that we on the left are supposed to be the ones with the purity tests and the absurd standards nobody can meet, and yet it seems that time and time again, we're remarkably tolerant of daft stuff that doesn't matter but which centrists simply cannot get over. What could explain this?
Bad, evil countries like Iran with their sinister Shaheed 'Suicide Drones' vs the Good, Virtuous countries like the US with their Switchblade 'Loitering Munitions'.

i reckon insurance guys have their own definition of what counts as a war and it's probably closer to what you or i might recognise than whatever statements various governments like to issue
Claire Lehmann @clairlemon Henry Harpending was not a "white supremacist" β’ He was a distinguished professor of anthropology who was elected lifetime member of the National Academy of Sciences Nazi 10:54 pm β’ 28/12/2019 Claire Lehmann @clairlem... β’ 30/12/2019 Replying to @clairlemon Ok, so I've seen more material and yes, it does look like Harpending promoted racist views. So I was wrong in this particular instance. (Still not sure that racist views = "white supremacist" but appreciate for many these are one & the same.) Noah Smith β’ @Noahpini... β’ 30/12/2019
Checked old screenshots and I gotta admit, Claire Lemon could be unintentionally funny
BREAKING: Iranian drone targeted an apartment in one of the towers in Dubai.
serious: worms are hardly up in the pest and vermin rankings. cowardly, servile rankings? very high.
this is not rat/cockroach shit. who hates worms? who is getting worms removed?
These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.
Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.
Report on Mandelson mentioning βThe Telegraph reported on these links extensively in January 2024β
Itβs striking how the press pack hive mind instantly recalled a Polanski interview from 2013 as soon as it was relevant, and instantly forgot βextensiveβ 2024 Telegraph reporting on Mandelsonβs friendship with a child sex trafficker when that became inconvenient.
The link with the unions was about the only thing the Labour Party had left going for it as an entity, so this feels about as seismic as Gorton & Denton
I was waiting for Yakkety Sax to kick in and the camera to turn so you can see him going down a water slide, but he appears to be serious
Youβre gonna love to who liked this comment
james is such a fucking weasel.
he never says this about keir starmer and keir starmer lies to the point of murdering, via policy, british citizens.
Must be underlined that when Starmer was quizzed on the subject of the Lord Mandelson's relationship with Epstein, he lied about it on national TV, very badly.
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
barn door officially CLOSED, announces former horse owner
It's simple. Just announce the war is over every morning before the stock market opens. Then right after it closes double down with threats of an even bigger, longer war.
Just do this every day forever. The war and the market siloed off in two alternating realities that never meet.
Policy-based evidence-making again.

Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC X.com The American Embassy is being evacuated in Riyadh because of sustained attacks by Iran against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is my understanding the Kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed 7 Americans. Question - why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fiΓΈht is in their backvard. If vou are not willine to
I urge more senior US officials to publicly dress down the allies they dragged into a war all of them hate, thatβs getting them bombed. Really grind it home: their security is dependent on the whims of a bunch of clueless, pissy old men who donβt give a damn if they get the entire region melted.
Today I asked ministers to deny* that the number of jury acquittals in protest cases was a factor in the Governmentβs dangerous attack on jury trials.
*They did not do this

Right-Wing climb downs over positions held on the Iran War only last week are indicative of SOMETHING.
Whether this is Iran not being the walkover expected by people who have no idea what they're talking about, Trump's mercurial levels of commitment, or Israel's doomsday forever war nonsense? π€·
its an iranian missile with a message written on it in Persian

From the moment this guy entered politics over a decade ago it has felt like one long, drawn-out experiment to see how far it's possible to push the concept of ignoring reality and attempting to create a different one by social media fiat, and we may be close to getting an answer.
