It is interesting to me* how this total military, geopolitical, & economic omnishambles is not being covered in the press with remotely the same fierce EPIC DISASTROUS FAILURE urgency that Joe Biden’s not 100% surgically clean withdrawal from 🇦🇫 was covered 🤔
[*It is not remotely interesting to me]
I guess I’m not on IR Bluesky cause I haven’t seen anyone discussing the nuclear prospects of Iran once all of this is over. How do even the moderates in Iran not want proliferation? Doesn’t this whole thing prove they need nukes as a deterrent? Idk maybe I’m just not up on the proliferation lit.
For those of us too cowardly to do cocaine.
Fetterman 2.0 is racking up the endorsements I see. 🤦♂️
The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.
If he doesn't like the fact that anyone can be American he's free to move somewhere else! bsky.app/profile/coop...
Trump Tries to Sidestep Blame for Any Civilian Deaths in Iran The president and the Pentagon have cast blame on Iran for the mounting toll. More than 1,800 people have died in the war, including many civilians.
Only Trump gets the media privilege of being the active verb doer in a story about 1,800 civilian deaths.
In this construct, “redemption” means “give a guy a break and shut up.” They don’t believe anything he’s done has actually harmed anyone or anything, so if anything, they’re upset anyone asks them to address it.
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"
they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.
They couldn't even get credit for stuff they did while they were in power. Wtf makes them think they'll get credit when they aren't in power? It's unbelievable that they still don't understand this.
Even if it were good politics it's incredible that at this point they don't understand that they would get zero credit for this. And if anything the credit would go to Trump. They just fundamentally don't understand how politics works.
A reaction video where a professional reacts to a movie depicting their job except the role is reversed and directors critique a fighter pilot or a chef trying to be the director of a move.
Scorsese: No…no no no you wouldn’t frame this shot like that. Totally unreasonable. 3 out of 10.
Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians
Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank. Don't look away.
Read Diana Buttu's piece:

75% of Americans who see a veteran: Omg thank you for your service! You’re a hero!
Rest of us: I mean… maybe. What did you do in your service?
Vet: Oh you know, stuff like helped illegally murder a bunch of children.
Rest of us: Uh…that seems bad.
75%: *fingers in ears* So heroic.
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
If Biden had received just 1% of the media coddling given to Trump he would have won reelection in a landslide
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
it's curious how this won't be accompanied by 75,000 mainstream pundit pieces about how Republicans are obsessed with "identity politics" and need to reconnect with "real America" on "kitchen table issues"
You called this one. Love the move. For so long after the goat we just sat around waiting for a QB to fall into our lap. Glad we’re shooting our shot.
You can just call for the ethnic cleansing of Muslims and even the opposition party doesn’t say anything.
But you protest within a mile of a synagogue or some shit and every single Democrat within 2,000 miles is issuing statements calling it unforgivable antisemitism.
I’m sure CBS News will get right on this the way they have over Zohran’s wife liking posts!
these fucking idiots are going to let every fascist who trump discarded rehabilitate themselves as democrats. between this and george conway and eventually MTG the future is MAGA vs former MAGA as a controlled opposition party forever.

The Post and Courier, which is leading the investigative work on the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child, looks into the woman’s FBI interview and substantiates many details through public records
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
“The beta guy” lol these people are so ridiculous.
I’m not paid 6 figures to give the same advice Democrats were given in 1996, but it’s almost like they could tie that into a broader message of Trump not giving a shit about anyone but himself and a media that refuses to describe reality to us and holds Republicans to no standard whatsoever.
For those keeping track, we’re at the “secretary of war announces genocide” stage of the US descent into fascism.
