The three greatest threats to the US are:

1. A compromised and ineffective fourth estate

2. A captured and tenured judiciary

3. A weak and visionless opposition

Oh hey that thing we were all afraid of happening. Well it fucking happened. If you haven’t already locked down your credit/identity, you should fucking do it now. I’ll put the thread I wrote on how to do that (ish, there are Reddit boards with a million more steps you can take) in the comments. 🤬🤬🤬

No it’s not. Their objection is related to the surveillance of US citizens and and fully autonomous killing equipment.

I have not seen any suggestion that AI is in full autonomous mode in Iran. Their targeting picked out that school.

They started a war to distract from child rape and to create a bump in the polls.

We haven’t forgotten the rapes and the polls are going down.

It get’s more dangerous from here.

Their next mission: Operation Cancel Midterms.

Dear Americans

The cost of each bomb they drop could help sick Americans who can’t afford medical care, can’t afford the drugs they need to get well, can’t afford groceries, can’t afford gas.

A budget reveals your values and your govt would rather kill foreigners than help Americans.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

Maybe they should be concerned about their AI being used to create military targets that ended up killing 180 school girls.

Sure there is. Destroy the duopoly. Exit the alliance. Let America destroy itself. Redirect the US military money we have committed to thing that will actually help Australians

Hegseth: No nation does more to protect the lives of civilians.

I know FOR A FACT that this is untrue. For a fact.

Hegseth “I don’t want to be worried about nation building”

So the Secretary of Psychopathy wants to destroy nations, kill heads of state, murder Muslim children, catalyse regime change BUT NOT REBUILD THOSE COUNTRIES.

China is the only superpower left in the world.

What is this pentagon presser?

It started with bizarre bravado, perversely pivoted to Bible verses and is now a sailor appreciation week.

America is cooked.

The secretary of war just ended a press conference with a bible verse.

@albomp.bsky.social your country is majority NOT Christian if you do not end this alliance we will dismantle your political party from from top to bottom.

Hegseth is short: we are going to destroy them completely but on our timeline and terms so stop asking us questions we don’t know how to answer

Hegseth - “now they race towards a nuclear bomb”

We need to end this WMD bullshit once and for all, at the end of a guillotine.

I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.

White Supremacist in Chief Hegseth about to give a presser that will likely sound a lot like a Tom Cruise war movie.
