it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

I live in the state of California, he's my governor, I voted for him in 2018, and he's the worst piece of trash imaginable.

He hates the trans community, he's criminalized being homeless in a state where hardworking people are one missed paycheck from the street. He had Bannon on his podcast

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of β€œshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but β€œto what extent?”

Upon reflection, it was a bad idea to put a a sociopathic demented narcissist in charge of the world’s largest military and then confirm a poser with a small dick complex to run the Pentagon on instructions from a 21st century Goebbles.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

January 31st, 2012. We called in A-10s. Killed four Taliban. I remember the bodies. Teenagers. Twisted wrecked flesh

Making killing a video game isn’t just obscene. It’s a lie. It papers over what violence is and what it does to the human body, and to our soul. Truth is always the first casualty.

According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life.

Netanyahu drew his red line at the UN nearly 14 years ago.

The fact that he used the same language to talk about the Democrats who make up a significant portion of the US population should give us all pause.

I have killed
the senior leadership candidates
that were in
Iran

and which
you were probably
saving
for post-regime change

Forgive me

so right there
and so bombable

a) AP is desperate for money
b) this is a terrible fucking idea, just like the 'we'll sell old AP photos as NFTs!' was

Trump is going to sour on this whole thing the instant gas prices in Kansas spike and then it'll be a week of hearing every maga mouthpiece talking about how awesome he is for bringing this to an end so quickly before the next self inflicted calamity

I am exhausted of the game where we pretend these two men are not differentiable from the rest of the party. They’re the two most prominent federal Democrats and they’re almost uniquely bad in the party, and come from a state where the Democratic Party is almost uniquely compromised

I’m not mad at Democrats; many have responded relatively appropriately and vigorously. I am mad, specifically, at Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries

(Whispers) there’s a difference between orders that are illegal to follow and orders that are illegal to give, and this may have been the second but it probably wasn’t the first

De Gaulle said, β€œLa vΓ©ritΓ©, c’est que les AmΓ©ricains finiront par se faire dΓ©tester par tout le monde. MΓͺme par leurs alliΓ©s les plus inconditionnels.”

β€œThe truth is that the Americans will end up being hated by everyone. Even by their most ardent allies."

I can’t say he was wrong about this.

Washington Post layoffs include entire Ukraine, Middle East bureaus - National | Globalnews.ca The Post’s executive editor Matt Murray called the move painful but necessary to put the outlet on stronger footing and weather changes in technology and user habits.

I’m not the world’s fourth-richest man so I don’t mean to speak out of turn here, but I think that firing your full-time foreign correspondents right before a major war might not have been a particularly wise move in terms of, you know, getting or keeping subscribers
