Americans don't want to be funding crimes against humanity. Enough. This has to end now and Congress must act aggressively to force it.
"Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades."
Donβt look away: this atrocity was carried out with our tax dollars. Trump's attempts to misplace fault won't wash away the blood on his hands. Or, alas, on ours.
Hopefully they're all gettin huge painful blisters from ill-fitting footwear.
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
What if we run out of bombs and weapons and then decide not to buy more and we can start having universal healthcare and end poverty and rebuild infrastructure and shit?
That clip of Jim looking at all his creations together breaks me in the best possible way, always waterworks.
post your favorite Lord of the Rings characters, wrong answers only.
Is it bad that I understood this?
At what point does the stock market stop reporting on numbers to appease an angry trump?

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
War mongers that don't need to go to war seldom care that when one side lowers the standards for rules of engagement that that allows similar or worse lowering on the othe side that directly affects one's own troops. (Of course we also know that they don't give a shit about them, either.)
But also intertwined with villains like Walter White, Kylo Ren, Slippin' Jimmy and anti-hero Deadpool. They are too lazy to even keep straight the characters' alignments they are representing themselves as.
When they're all The Joker or Lex Luthor it's hard to pick the worst supervillain in the administration.

Don't sleep on the Norwegians: they make some of the best comedy in the world.
That they do so much of it *in English* is just an amazing global public service to make their grade-A roasts available to people outside the Scandinvo-sphere.
Another don't-miss example in the first comment.
Same here, accident and everything.
we reached the βno WMDsβ phase in two days.
for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
when he's right, he's right
fuck em up, Grandpa
Itβs always a win-win for the worst-worst
It was great. Funny and occasionally tense while sad and sweetly tender, too.
Am. watching on your recommendation, loving it.

The near-total memory-holing of Trumpβs disastrous withdrawal from the JCPOA - literally, the central reason why Iran & nuclear weapons is still an issue in 2026 - from the National Conversationβ’οΈ is incredible, & not in a good way. The βbetter dealβ never existed & still doesnβt. And here are.
Today they made oinking noises at us.
Tomorrow it could be a full-grown pig dropped from a great height.
Been thinking about War Games and JOSHUA all day.
When my daughter was younger she liked the aesthetic but thought that it was "Dark Macadamia" which makes sense in a mahogany is a color sort of way.
