hmmm according to reuters the interview is from today

yeah, first thought was "when was this actually recorded"?
me, when literally anything happens anymore: check polymarket and see who just made $100,000
sorry about that..... so you *won't* post the ad for my line of sexy spongebob character costumes?
i read this first as "mlm" and it actually works pretty well too
what does freedom smell/feel like? toxic air/rain apparently
and all it took to secure that victory during the civil war was *checks notes* the deaths or permanent disfigurement of >25% of those fighting
the parallel in our government holds, where trump thinks "loyalty" is "agreeing w/ whatever dear leader says unquestioningly", when in fact that has been equally disastrous for nearly every action trump has tried to take - his more effective actions were external to him or subdued by smarter allies
a lot of pro-israel people argue that trump or others like him are "true friends of the state of israel" because they give israel free rein to engage in whatever whimsical actions their more belligerent leaders want, but there's no question that unfettered support is extremely dangerous
collaborative military aggression by trump and netanyahu go along way to dispel the notion that an ally is someone who supports you doing whatever you want, rather than someone who cares about you and helps you achieve your end goals while simultaneously curbing your worst impulses
if there's a single thing you can be sure of when it comes to donald trump and the people around him it's that they will throw each other under the bus as soon as they see even the hint of an opportunity

yeah, half of the complaints on this place are that people block constantly or create block lists which, you can imagine, would not be a problem if everyone just believed the same things over here lol
yeah would be a real fuckin shame if the vice president had to respond to questions in the middle of a war that congress claims is not a war but the president keeps claiming is a war and for which we've gotten 13 different justifications
real fuckin shame
some get taken out by trees/political extremists, some overdose on beef tallow, hgh, and cocaine off of nightclub toilet seats
certainly not safe if you're a kennedy, unfortunately
Nice pull and an important reminder that, no, things haven't always been like this.
supposing this is true, perhaps something to have taken stock of *before* going to war

Screenshot of an X post from the verified U.S. Department of State (@StateDept) account. The post quotes Secretary Rubio: “There was absolutely an imminent threat. We knew that if Iran was attacked, even by someone else, they would immediately come after us and we were NOT going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.”
imagine this maddeningly idiotic logic in any other scenario
"i had to kill that guy preemptively because another guy was gonna hit him and i knew that if he did, the first guy was gonna kill all of us, so, like, the first guy presented an imminent threat"
NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* — and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link.

yes, we're at war and yes, that means we're at risk at home too, but we've got real, responsible leaders at the helm of both agencies involved, so we're gonna be just fine!

if something mildly urgent happens after work hours, half of my colleagues jump into action, but congress can't get its shit together on a weekend when the president flings us into a war without authorization
sure okay

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.
my actual night, thank you
"just gonna get some sleep early tonight.....and fuuuucckkk we're at war"
i mean, sure, but that's not what people are implying when they call this illegal
there's international law and then there's holding trump accountable because his actions fly in the face of our laws domestically - focusing on the latter is perfectly reasonable as a way of trying to rein him in
it's truly insane that they're not even hiding that we're at war (he explicitly says it) without congressional approval
