That's evil.

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:

1. Government lies

2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

3. Press says β€œthe government is lying!”

HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE

1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

2. Government lies

3. Press says β€œOh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, and not fascism, were the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right."

Conservatives usually strongly defend the 2nd amendment, and we'll see how many of them are willing to defend their supposed principles now with Trump attacking it.

I remember how strongly Israel denied bombing that hospital, then proceeded to bomb every other hospital in Gaza as well.

They continue to kill Palestinian civilians without consequence.

The Canadian Prime Minister stood up more strongly for "American values" than most of America's national political figures.

Trump's Gestapo murdered a white woman on video, told everyone their eyes were lying to them, and then proved that there's no consequences they would face for it.

After that, they have almost nothing to fear anymore.

There's so much wrong in this video, even beyond the unjustifiable execution.

The system isn't designed to counter a malevolent federal government.

The most prominent platforms are often filled with people who would look intelligent if only they stayed quiet, rather than speaking and proving themselves to be fools.

It really bothers me that people like this, with a clear unwillingness to read even basic documented history, get to have large platforms that influence the thoughts of millions.

A lot to explain in text, but:

1...Rb2 (attacks the bishop, which is pinned and can't move)
2. Rc2 (best looking way to block the attack)
2...Rxc5! (Now the Queen is skewered)
3. Rxb2 Qxb2 and there are attacks on both the Queen and the bishop that can't both be defended

Donald Trump at Davos saying "sometimes you need a dictator"

Donald Trump at Davos saying "sometimes you need a dictator"

To suggest that people need dictators is to imply that the people need less freedom.

Trump is the opposite of the claimed ideals America was founded on.

The incredible ability of people in power to disable their critical thinking skills remains unmatched.

I was, but maybe I should follow good advice and try to get rest. Stubbornness is a hell of a thing though.

It's terrible when you think you're getting over a cold, and then an hour of strenuous activity reminds you that you're nowhere close to getting over it.

Racism and sexism are much more precious to a lot of people than democracy or dignity.

Trump: NATO members to face tariffs increasing to 25% until a Greenland purchase deal is struck Trump recently hinted that he may pursue a tariff strategy on Greenland similar to the one he used to force foreign countries to change their drug prices.

www.cnbc.com/2026/01/17/t...

If Trump were to militarily attack Greenland, Europe would have to respond. At that point, it would be logical for China and Russia to engage.

There's a legitimate risk of a world war if Trump isn't contained.

I have many comments on his shocking moves, but he's not going to hear them so I'll just seethe quietly.

No one believes you're actually a Democrat Amanda. And yes, *you* are the baddies, obviously.

"Let it all work out" - Eze

It still has and it still will. Every great journey has setbacks.

Eze is a great player and person. Love him.

He got a shot on goal just now at least. The commentator made the same point we just did "we haven't seen very much of Eze this game"

I think he'll be fine, but going through a bit of a dip.

I'm happy with the Arsenal result against Portsmouth so far, but I'm surprised at how anonymous Eze has been even in his preferred position.

I struggle to think of even one Reactionary Centrist who doesn't regularly fit this pattern.

The only grace I can grant: maybe we apply that label to the people who do exactly this, rather than it being a self-labeled group that then ends up acting this way.

This group has to be able to prove themselves getting these minutes. They are a strong bunch, so no excuses.

Post the feudal age, the societal bargain was that the highest of the upper classes got to enjoy the benefits of great wealth, so long as the lower classes still felt their lives improving.

The biggest benefit to the upper classes has been safety from the masses. That bargain is weakening today.

I'm hyping myself up to buy tickets to an Arsenal game and fly over there.

I've been a fan for 20 years, and this may just be the season.
