The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Same
I woke up punchy. I’m so sick of these motherfuckers and their bombs and their rapes and their violence.
We could be happy. We could have nice things like healthcare and childcare and UBI. It actually wouldn’t be that hard.
U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.
"Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this."
One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
Absolutely vile people
Yes, but Chris Coons had Valentine's Day plans, so we couldn't hear from more witnesses when the outrage was still fresh.
Consider all the drivers, hotel staff, and restaurant staff that these people have exposed while taking their annual victory lap around ending the right to an abortion
There is no commonsense reforms for masked goons. No, this is not the answer. Abolish Ice.
This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Getting rid of Miller is definitely a win, if we can make it happen
IMMORAL…
This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”
An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.
The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
Trump probably thinks it should have been given to him.
That incident at the Ford plant was horrible for him
So much of Trump's power rests on the idea that everyday people love him
When it becomes clear that they don't he's in huge trouble
Same alway "go fuck yourself Mr Cheney" was a big sign of trouble for the W Bush admin
Who cares
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
Is that a Strand Bookstore shirt? And also, Go Birds.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Do not forget this face. Her last moments on her must have been terrifying and she was just trying to remove herself from the situation. She was murdered. Anyone of us could be her. We cannot let this go unanswered. What has this country become. I am gutted by this and I hope you are too.
My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
We have crossed the Rubi(o)con.
They fired all the generals who wouldn't go along, then they kicked all the reporters out of the Pentagon.
Yes, same.
Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.
I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.
Well, this sucks. This is why we can't have nice things. Post by @clarajeffery.bsky.social — Bluesky share.google/jyLoCXpC6o8Y...
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both
I would say it's been his whole life. I doubt he's ever done anything approaching a normal human existence. Never washed a dish, taken out the trash, done laundry, etc.
