ay, no, gato mentecato!

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Hey, if we missed the joke, we can at least laugh at this situation.
Keep on keeping on, OC!

The indulgence of impulses, the immaturity, hubris, the arrogance, the random and casual callousness, the petty envy, the characters' self-absorption, the reckless misadventures undertaken with no rational aim but for revenge and resentment & with no planning, no exit plan ... all of it. It's great.

Instead, it turns out that Wes Anderson saw the future. It was a prediction. Rather, it was a predescription.
Watch it again.
After Trump 1 and 13 months of Trump 2, it's obvious the film is about Trump and the clown show of insecure, selfish incompetents he has brought on board to be his crew.

It's not even about anything that was going on at the time. You might think it was about George W Bush, arguably the worst, most incompetent US president up to that point. But W was just not narcissistic and insecure enough to make a comparison of him to Zissou quite believable.

I'm rewatching The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) for the first time since it came out. At the time, we all thought we knew what it was about: a parody/homage of/to Jacques Cousteau. Even its own Wikipedia page thinks it's about that.
It is not.

Home.

In a savvy move, Trump undoes sanctions on Russia after Russia helps Iran target Americans.

61 years ago today at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma, Alabama.

Trump is a dragon. Sets everything on fire, and terrorizes the populace, and setting lords over everything from his lair, while extorting a constant stream of sacrifices, supplies, treasure, & maidens to feed his insatiable appetite for cruelty & submission.
Where St. George when you need him?

Denver Moved To Arrest Trump’s Federal Agents. Courts Ordered $175 Billion Returned. 24 States Sued The Regime. Big Tech Blocked. The Resistance Won The regime had a very bad week. We made sure of it.

🚨 DENVER JUST AUTHORIZED ARRESTING TRUMP'S FEDERAL AGENTS! Mayor Johnston's order: Detain ICE for excessive force, ban masked feds, no city help without warrants. Regime goons can't hide anymore. The resistance is DONE playing. 🔥

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.

How the hell did this happen?

Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

Aw, well, now I feel silly.
But also: it's funny. It reflects the irony that reality often serves up.

Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.

Inside Russia's everyday manhunt of Ukrainians in Kherson At the moment the grey mass of radio static gives way to a clear image on the drone detector screen, the hunter still seems deceptively far away. Looking down on the central neighbourhood of Kherson...

Since summer 2024 and escalating with every month, the city of Kherson is now known as the place where civilian residents — men, women, children and the elderly — are systematically and deliberately hunted by Russian high-precision drones.

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

They’re raping people on your dime.

Same. I met some French folks abroad a year ago and I had to say the same to them.

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

Yep.

This makes me ask: where do the sympathies of the restaurant's owner/mgmt lie if they ban OC for this basically harmless act of protest against MAGA? Maybe it's the restaurant who needs to learn about the Tolerance Paradox.
Say what one likes, the restaurant's choice here is not neutral.

I like that version much better. However, that it went down that way - that it was OC, not an employee of the restaurant - who subjected her brother in law to a surprise, but deserved, baptism of disgust is not apparent from the way OC told the story.
See, this is problem with the passive voice, OC.

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies . ALT: a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies .

Same here.
The H2O & shunning are not the problem here.
Hopefully your brother in law will soon arrive at...

MAGA needs to learn they have gone far beyond the bounds of decency and humanity & need to course correct.
For example, we all approved when Farage got splooshed with a choco milkshake; it was non-lethal, not even injurious, but was effective protest.
And we all cheered Subway guy.

I suggest you revisit the Tolerance Paradox. Because it's MAGA that proves the limits of tolerance. It's we who apply tolerance even when MAGA has breached that limit who prove tolerance's flaw. The sphere of its effectiveness & importance is large, but bounded.

Hey, if you're OK with demonstrative protest against MAGA unless it personally inconveniences you, then I suggest you recalibrate.
You wouldn't tolerate your b-i-l wearing a swastika out to dinner with you, why are you tolerating the 2026 equivalent? The anti MAGA protest is not the problem.

Given that this is such an obviously wrong move if the point of the FBI is to protect the US from espionage, terrorism, and attacks on US territory - so wrong that not even an idiot would do it - we must now ask if making the US more vulnerable & enabling an attack is the point of the firings.

He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
