Jasmine Crockett is a class act and I wish she had won.

Maybe Talarico will turn out better than I think. Hope so.

If we're not at war with them by then

Not going to claim that Tom Atkins was a Great Actor or anything.... but I will say that his name on the cast list led me to some really fun films.

With Democrats, the tent only ever expands to the right.

They only need to come up with one or two ways to ratfuck the election that you have not anticipated.

I think you might be surprised how full UK newsrooms (particularly national newspapers, BBC, Sky) are of people who support Farage and in private are happy to echo his far-right rhetoric.

Note theological scholar Pete Hegseth

I am no fan of Churchill, generally speaking, but he would have told Trump to fuck right off.

Sorry, but this is absurd... what did they think the response would be? Israel wants to make this existential for Iran, and Israel more than any other country should understand what a nation and culture will do when faced with an existernail threat.

My guess is that the latter is so fundamentally incurious that he never bothered to ask the former what the plan is/

Which sports team least respects either its own history or its dead announcers? That's the one to bet on.

"The good news is your dates are here...."

So... were we going to replace the old regime with our own good guys, who we accidentally killed?

No boots on the ground, so no real attempt at regime change.

All-time great soundtrack.

To be fair, being a war criminal turned out pretty well for Blair. Worth a try?

To give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe Netanyahu hasn't told him what the objectives are?

Can we trade him for Fetterman?

Well sure, it's possible the billionaire class might do that....

But it seems infinitely more likely that they will build themselves castles in the sky and let everyone else starve to death in slums, doesn't it?

the old leadership was already negotiating

Scouts Will Abandon D.E.I. Policies Under Agreement With Pentagon, Hegseth Says

Scouts agree to discriminate against people of color to make Hegseth happy.

I thought one of the things the Scouts were supposed to do was instill values.

Hard to do if you don't have any.

I'm more interested in the possibility that The New York Times might have found an unprovoked attack on brown people that it doesn't support?

Please, for the love of all that is good and honorable, just resign.

This is why it is so hard to take seriously the people who think the Democrats will save us.

This seems fundamentally unserious.

What does he think can be accomplished in a week, without boots on the ground?

It's Jared, right?

If six US presidents failed to stop iran obtaining nuclear weapons, that means George HW Bush failed to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, which means Iran has had nuclear weapons since 1993, which would be a surprise to anyone who has followed nuclear proliferation...

Labout seems to believe that there are enough "I'm a vicious racist who hates Reform and the Tories" voters to carry them to victory.

If you are one of our allies in the region, allow me to translate "off ramps."

It means we lit the blue touchpaper, but we can walk away from the ensuing explosion any time we like and leave you buried in the rubble.
