Why is my "Discover" feed 75% sports all of a sudden. No shade intended, but I have literally zero interest in sports and have never once commented on a sports thread, so what makes Bluesky think I want sports more than anything else?

Come on, man. ANY photograph of Pete Hegseth is "unflattering" because of the hellbound soul encased in his overly made-up flesh suit. It's like they are saying "No cameras! These photos of dog shit piles are deliberately unflattering!"

To give free healthcare for life to some of the worst elite phux in the US who already have enough money to pay for gold standard private insurance without changing their life styles in any noticeable way, while also giving them access to the information that makes insider trading so lucrative?

Huh. Why do you suppose it took this long for this aspect of the attack until now? Could it be the administration doesn't give a shit about the "Suckers and losers" it placed totally unnecessarily in harm's way?

Trump says Iran failed to lay mines in Strait of Hormuz Three vessels were hit by projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz, the UK’s maritime agency said. Countries have agreed to release a record 400 million barrels of oil in an effort to stem gas prices. Fo...

I just think it's nice she has that option. I think everybody ought to be able to move into military housing when they get threats. I hope it's as nice and cushy as the Coast Guard Commandants mansion Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski took shelter in. Oh, they don't live there anymore? Huh.

Thus just shows how little you know bout fruit basket stands. Fruit baskets can't stand on their own, you know. They are not people. or dogs. Or department store mannequins. Educate yourself.

This tweet, right? Cool, cool, cool. That makes it all better. I still hope those poor boys lives aren't ruined just because they did terrorism and tried their best to commit murder.

That's pretty much every press conference. At this point all media follow question should be the same sentence: "Was your answer to my last question a lie?"

Please, please, links when you say something like that. If it's reportedly, someone reported it. Where? For whom? I want to read it and I want to know those things. Otherwise it's just internet noise, or which there's a lot.

"I can't show you the evidence. It's classified and their isn't any. Maybe I made it up. That doesn't make it not true. I feel like they would have attacked us in a week. That's the same, isn't it? For instance, I can poop a magical unicorn anytime I want. Just because I don't doesn't mean I can't."

"You could say both. Or I could have answered your 'Desk Lamp Happy Cow.' Words are just mouth sounds. Sometimes they make sense, but mostly they don't. It doesn't matter. "Very complete" and "just the beginning" are just sound collections. Don't read too much into it. Circus peanut."

Golly!! Those poor teen aged boys and their CHANGED LIVES ! You go out for a nice drive, just happen to commit an act of domestic terrorism, which, you know, who hasn't had that happened? One moment it's "Hey, turn up that song, it's my jam!" and the next thing you know, you're attempting murder!

He wants to bring them here from Australia so ICE can round them up and deport them to one of the randomly selected failed states that will take humans from us if we give them a few million dollars.

I call this photo "Two terrorists and an unidentified woman in a made-in-China baseball cap.

He has no idea what he's going to do next. Exit Iran? Strike harder? Tell people about drapes? Insist his cabinet wear the shoes he bought them even if they're the wrong size? Golf? Post on Truth Social about things he insists he's going to do that he might forget about as soon as he stops typing?

Are they implying Mamdani did 9/11? 'Cause I think he was just a kid at the time.

How many different justifications for this war does the GOP intend to offer?

Graham is 70, is it possible he's been hiding creeping dementia in the shadow of Trump's massive dementia? Has someone tried telling him he is not the president?

It really sucks that the president of the United States is not a reliable source on U.S. foreign policy.

Maybe his words relate to actual policy and maybe they don’t. At many moments, even he doesn’t seem to know.

Throws off so much, and makes large scale coordination virtually impossible.

They are not "Unwilling", they have to be hoping for it. There is simply no other explanation for how wildly deliberately they are leaving the country vulnerable, and I get it. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING would serve their interests more than a terrorist strike on the US.

Even for Trump and company, starting a war with Iran and forgetting to top of the national strategic reserve is shockingly stupid.

This isn't new. Trump has a 40+ year record of publicly fantasizing about killing and maiming civilians.

Well, thank goodness Trump has done such a bang up job of making sure we are as reliant on oil as we were in the 1970's, because wind turbines cause cancer or something.

No, but a lot of people deeply involved in this war in the US and Israel are.

I think, because like J. Edgar Hoover before him, Epstein got the word out that he could blackmail a whole lot of the richest, most powerful people on earth. That was his insurance plan.
