remember when MattyY was talking about how dems shouldn't talk about immigration

trump and the republicans' plan is to keep the united states as a market-of-last-resort for the saudis and other countries with big oil reserves as the rest of the world transitions to solar+batteries+EVs

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?

WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

The proper way to translate this, if you want to assimilate the value of America's higher education sector into brute economic terms, is:

"Exports of one of America's world-leading industries dropped by more than a third this year."

Where's that headline in the business press?

And $$

Hey can we get the guy who calls this strategic ambiguity nuked from orbit

What a class act

Men don't go "Yabba Dabba Doo" anymore

We've spent trillions on the soft strategy power and built our manufacturing industry off of it, all to throw it away for a year of tariffs and wars sparked by an International child trafficking ring.

These ghouls act like they've discovered some novel secret: "Hey, guys, GUYS! Did you know that we can just kill people whenever we want?" Yes, you absolute idiot, that's ALWAYS been true. We just chose not to, for good and self-interested reasons which the entire world is about to learn yet again.

A total hardliner. Whose father, mother, wife, and son we just killed.

Americans think there’s a limit to how much things can get worse. There isn’t. But there’s also no limit to how much things can get better. Even from here.

mfw brent crude hits $200 because you didn't know Iranians could blow up oil refineries in Bahrain by strapping a small explosive to $1000 consumer grade drones

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Also, now that the Dow is so far off of 50,000, I believe that according to the Pam Bondi Rule we are legally allowed to care about the Epstein Files again?

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

🚨“For the first time in Arizona, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are using a Cold War-era law to ticket legal immigrants for minor offenses like not carrying their immigration documents, a break from the agency’s longstanding focus on people in the country illegally.”🚨

the official position of the ADL is that the man on the left is an antisemite and the man on the right is not.

i know it doesn’t matter but i just want it on the record i acknowledge that by hitting schools and desalinization plants we are committing unspeakable war crimes and i, personally, think it’s kind of a major bummer

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols:
“It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.

yup

real talk: a lot of the mil youtubers and a subset of OSINTers are just the Yankee version of the Russian warbloggers
