Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

This is a guy who gets alerts when his son looks at porn. Because Jesus or something. Right.

"We want Iran to go back to how it was just before we toppled its government because of oil, so we think the best person to put in place would be the son of the guy who we installed as a puppet leader because of oil." Bitch, please.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

They truly are just COD trolls, aren’t they? Jesus fucking Christ.

I suppose at least now, Lindsey Graham can stop edging. #iran

Fuck Israel

White House officials believe ‘the politics are a lot better’ if Israel strikes Iran first As the administration mulls military action in Iran, officials argue it’d be best ifIsrael makes the first move.

For context, Politico reported Wednesday that the Trump regime thought it would be better optics if Israel bombed Iran first so that America could just appear to be helping an ally rather than starting a new war

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

Every day, I feel like I see something from the USA more demented than the last. This, though, is a masterpiece of the genre. Absolutely batshit.

So the search of Mandelson's place is over. All very civilised.

Compare that to the treatment of Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister. £660K of SNP funding not accounted for. Big blue police tent. Looked like the search of Fred West's house. Endless investigation that dragged on over election periods.

Bloody hell

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Anas dog whistling to the right in a last desperate attempt to look relevant. What a pathetic spineless idiot he is.

Good that he’s got fuck all chance of being first minister, then.

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution

2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Protecting women and children, is it?

The politics we are living in now are a direct result of a meeting of Epstein and Moot then the next day /pol/ was created.

My brain is melting. As MLYP says, it makes one sound mentally ill to describe all this but it’s true.

Demented.

A recent @knowrogan.bsky.social podcast broke down the JRE Rand Paul episode that launched 1000 Rogan-cools-on-Trump boats. Lo and behold, even in that episode, Joe's not remotely as wary of ICE as was widely reported, and Trump isn't mentioned. Not once.

If one of those cockroaches is NOT called Neil, it will be a bloody miracle. And not without reason, too, to be fair.

Scots is often wrapped up in classism and labelled as 'weird' or 'uneducated', but by every standard it is its own language with its own grammar, syntax and words, and should be respected as such, writes Emma Grae ✍️
