So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.
i cannot say i have any good feelings or solutions to this escalating dynamic where the worst people on both sides of this conflict are acting in ways that seem to reciprocally validate their respective justifications for violent hatred.
Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.
Every one of our tech overlords has their own variant of psychosis. Karp's brain is a 5-pound bag of cooked spaghetti with a bunch of lit firecrackers in it.
how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not
Waiting for Elon to say he’s working on a plan to dig a subterranean pipeline for crude-bearing cars or perhaps deploy a series of crude drones that can bypass Hormuz altogether.
“We should be able to teleport the crude anywhere by 2029, easy.”
The U.S. and Europe have to someday realize that what the Israeli government envisions for Iran is the largest humanitarian catastrophe of the century so far
Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.
My lawyers just filed a first-rate legal memo in my 26 Federal Plaza arrest case. The purpose is to shine the brightest spotlight possible on the grossly inhumane treatment of migrants at the facility. So we’re demanding “evidence discovery” and asking for a jury trial. (1/2)
Good to know. I stand with Michigan.
it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on
The first bill I ever passed was the Jett Hawkins Act.
Together with Jett and his mother Ida, we banned hair discrimination in all schools statewide because all kids deserve to be unapologetically themselves!
In all seriousness, a non-zero number of men struggle and lash out because they choose to sublimate homosocial bonding and homosexual attraction for a strict heterosexual binary, and it is absolutely ruining their psyches and our entire society.
Well, imagine that …
I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.
Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia."
Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.
It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net
They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.
Staffer: Sir, good news. One of the F-15 pilots ejected safely and is on the ground. Calm and cool under pressure. Badass aura. A video taken by a thankful Kuwaiti civilian is going viral.
Hegseth: Fuck yeah. What's his name?
Staffer: Okay, so, here's the part you won't like...
when people point back at Reconstruction to explain where we are as a country (a good impulse) its often to claim that Reconstruction completely failed
I'd say it's more like: Reconstruction was partial and compromised, which kept the Civil War going as a domestic political battle vs a won war
I’m in the US military and I’m about to make a fortune betting against me surviving a drone strike. The other gamblers don’t know how slow I run
A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.
So how does your economy work? Well, basically, we all pass around the same $20 as a subscription fee for our neighbors' vibe coded B2B SaaS solution.
We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.
In the past two years, I attended numerous government and think tank meetings where it was fashionable to question and debate the casualty figures in Gaza as a way to distract from the human tragedy, Israel's brutal conduct of the war and Israel's ultimate aim (ethnic cleansing).
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!
