bookmark this one, it's going in the hall of fame of regrettable historical quotations

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.

"That's just how it is."

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers β€” not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

UNHCR: Up to 3.2 million Iranians temporarily displaced in Iran as conflict intensifies | UNHCR GENEVA – Between 600,000 and 1 million Iranian households are now temporarily displaced inside Iran as a result of the ongoing conflict, according to preliminary assessments, representing up to 3.2 million people. Most of them are reportedly fleeing from Tehran and other major urban areas towards the north of the country and rural areas to seek safety. This figure is likely to continue rising as hostilities persist, marking a worrying escalation in humanitarian needs.

Trump during the campaign: β€œI will end that war in 24 hours. It won’t even take that long. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and Russia and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be that tough. I know just what to say to each of them. It will be over in one phone call.”

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.

Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

Police in Britain Repeatedly Declined to Investigate Epstein. Why?

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police interviewed Virginia Giuffre 3 times after her lawyers handed them a dossier of evidence saying that she was trafficked to UK by Epstein and Maxwell, and made her have sex with Prince Andrew

But they did not launch an investigation

WATCH β€” @jamestalarico.bsky.social : β€œEvery dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
