I knew my neighbor was planning to kill me. He just had that look in his eyes and that's why I had to shoot him your Honor.

AI cat interview on YT:
Human: What's the most evil thing you've done?
Cat: Well, there have been a few arsons, but done in a cute way.

This is the stupidest explanation yet for this war. β€œWe knew they’d attack us if they got attacked, and we knew they’d be attacked, so we had to attack them.” Even for the Trump Administration this is stupid.

Shitty development for the US service members and the civilians killed so far including 85 little school kids, but hell yeah... 'Murica!✊

We owe the oxygen we breathe to trees and plants and they're locking up the carbon, so sure let's clear the forests and build parking lots and oil wells.

I was mildly surprised recently to learn that almost all of the mass in trees comes not from what they extract from the soil, it's from the carbon they extract from the air. Using photosynthesis to rip CO2 apart, then use the carbon to build cellulose and pectin.

I never lived in Texas but I LOVED Ann! She's the one who said that GWB was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Well as Sam the American eagle once said, all animals are naked under their fur. He was APPALLED! Even birds under their feathers...

Smidge, just cause the weather is nice doesn’t mean you can get naked in the back yard!

Notice that his shot off right ear seems no worse for the experience though. Oh sorry, a two cm wound from a .223 according to drunk Ronny Jackson. What a bunch of f'ing BS.

Republicans use Iran strikes to pressure Dems in DHS funding fight GOP lawmakers argue that homeland security should be prioritized over partisan squabbles as the threat of Iranian attacks rises.

The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets.

Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.

Iran was mostly abiding by the nuclear deal too until Trump trashed it with the lie that Obama sent them pallet loads of US taxpayer money when it was actually Iran's own accounts that were unfrozen as part of the deal.

He's now a war criminal. He can and should be recalled to active service and court martialed by the next administration before turning him over to The Hague to be tried for war crimes. Do traitor Mike Flynn too while they're at it.

Trump just held a press conference about war with Iran, and spent much of it talking about drapes and his ballroom. I guess those are the drapes of wrath???

He's going to be out of a job before long and back to being a loud mouthed drunk fake news host. A fatwa will certainly be put out on him. Enjoy looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. Ask Salman Rushdie what that's like.

SecDef RePete Failure is feeling pretty safe in a world of strategic decapitation. And we all know why.

Too incompetent to target is a hell of an epitaph for a Terminal Major.
