White House Posts Video Mixing Real Iran Strikes With Call Of Duty Footage — And The Backlash Is Brutal "What in the f**k is wrong with you people?" one social media user wrote in response.

WTF
They think it's a game.

Let's be honest: there's no official data. Everything else is speculation and statistics (which, as we know, are worse than lies).

Depends on your source and data.

For example, there have been 63 legal sex scandals committed by members of Congress between 1980 and 2022. Out of these, 43 were committed by Republicans and 20 by Democrats. (see Wiki)

The Republican party is obsessed with children – in the creepiest of ways | Osita Nwanevu For all their posturing about defending children from abuse, their record tells another story

Yes, but "The Republican party is obsessed with children – in the creepiest of ways"

Maybe Sheehy's ass doesn't look patriotic 🤔

Reuters: "However, it could be argued that if Washington is attacking Iran to eliminate an imminent threat, a warship far from Iran would not be a justified target unless it could be connected to those threats."

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Looks more like Photoshop for me, but who knows?

That is my point, actually. Why did they agree?

Reuters' experts say it was not an illegal order. 🙄 War is illegal, but the order isn't. 🤦

No Reagan?

Futurama. Bender as pimp. "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own theme park. With blackjack and hookers! In fact forget the park."

The same regime, but with Trump and Republicans.

👍

So he came and went 🤔

It seems like everyone is waiting for it to explode on its own.

What about "the duty to refuse applies to orders that are patently/manifestly illegal", you say? No worries, it "complies with the law of war. 🙄

32 from 180 sailors were rescued by Sri Lanka, btw.

CBS News reported, citing multiple US officials, that the submarine was USS Charlotte (SSN-766). 😒

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

🙄 = sarcasm, jic. And while I need to add this, to avoid Poe's Law, here is another article about it.

Our stable geniuses managed to piss off another country - the ship took part in a naval drill organized by India in February.

You restore virtue the same way it was lost. 🙄
Everyone wants a revolution, and almost nobody wants to become the kind of person a healthy society requires: a person who can govern themselves before trying to govern everyone else.

Reasonable thoughts, but off topic.

She murdered living creatures.
Not for self-defense, not for food, just because she can.
You focus on the victim, we focus on the action.

What do you mean by "small nukes"? No tactical nuclear weapons have been used in combat, but the two used in war—Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Opinion | The courts have had it with ICE’s lawlessness A federal judge in West Virginia issued a warning to all officials defying orders to release immigrants: “This court will enforce the Constitution.”

What can a federal court do if officials disobey its orders?

I wonder who gave the order.

For Trump, ‘Two Weeks’ Is the Magic Number

Screenshot of a Jezebel article card. Headline reads, “Let’s Dump RFK Jr. Into Boston Harbor.” Below it: “7h ago · Lauren Tousignant.” At right is a photo of a man in a dark suit and tie standing in a formal indoor setting (RFK jr) with other people in the background.

A close-up portrait of an older man smiling slightly. He has short gray hair, light skin, and wears rectangular glasses, a dark suit jacket, a white dress shirt, and a dark tie. A small lavalier microphone is clipped at the center of his tie/shirt. The background is dark and out of focus, with a faint hint of red and blue. Wayne LaPierre = NRA

He sort of looks like this guy, right? 🤔

Let me get all of this straight in my head. They want their allies to join in an ill-thought-out war of choice with unclear aims and an uncertain chance of success for any of the myriad aims stated so far. They want everyone else to just absorb any of the externalities like influxes of refugees, disruptions to shipping, higher oil and commodity prices and maybe even some incoming missiles. And *then* they also want to tariff everyone at 15%. I’m not sure they can keep pushing at everyone all at once indefinitely. There seems to be an inability here not just to anticipate second and third order effects, but even just to model a response from any other party, much less *every* other party.
