Prediction markets are the precursor to the hunger games.

No one could've foreseen this.

Which flights, exactly?

@AsstSecStateCA on X.com “The @SecRubio @StateDept urges Americans to DEPART NOW from the countries below using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks. Americans who need State Department assistance arranging to depart via commercial means, CALL US 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad) and +1-888-407-4747 (from the U.S. and Canada).

The state department put this notice out at 4:45pm TODAY. “Americans should depart now using commercial means.”

4 days into a war we instigated, knowing that Iran had, on multiple occasions and having little other leverage available, promised to retaliate against Americans and Allies within reach.

At least six US service members are dead and the US Embassy has been bombed, despite our own government confirming that Iran posed no nuclear threat for at least a decade and Iran being clear that if we attacked, they would retaliate.

How is this not at least Benghazi by orders of magnitude?

Also, these people aren’t just betting on outcomes. They’re actually driving them. The Army wrote about using Polymarket data as an important input to their analysis and decision-making process.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

I disagree. I think Trump very much understands that keeping his friends’ secrets is 100% essential to his own success.

Fundamentally just a very degrading line of work to get on the horn with Donald Trump while he's at one of his little clubs, some shithead chiropractor's second wedding going on 50 feet away, and ask "so what did you have in mind there?" where the question concerns bombing a bunch of foreign kids.

What do I use to secure him I have not had success with straps in the past

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Well at least we’re all getting a case study in why a pattern of bad behavior makes you a national security risk - it’s not just that you’re willing to do bad things, it’s what you’ll be willing to do to protect your friends’ secrets.

Secretary of Warfighting Pete Hegseth will solemnly perform ten (10) pushups for every American soldier lost in this war.

Operation Epic Fury continuing the Hegseth department policy of using deeply aggressive sub fantasies as mission names

Dusting this one off again:

The biggest tell of the Iran invasion is that Trump didn’t talk to anyone about it beforehand. I don’t just mean getting approval, I mean, we have moved beyond the administration believing it needs buy in from anybody - even the base - to do anything. There are no checks left.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

I dont think irans nuclear program is located in elementary schools for young girls but apparently thats what we’re bombing

They’re attacking Iran because they want to, and not for any other reason. But they don’t even know why they want to.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

Who says it’s nothing, you?
