Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch investigation.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

old man dressed all in black between two Nazis from Cabaret (1972)

From 9/11 to somewhere around '07 when people realized that, oh wait, Bush is an IDIOT idiot, every day felt like being the one old anarchist who saw what was coming as everyone sang "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

The first person in Bahrain to be confirmed to die was a migrant worker from the debris of an intercepted missile

Honestly I think the leadup to the Iraq war was worse than all this because the buy-in was so all-encompassing. I keep asking myself how anyone could fall for it again but the thing is, they mostly haven't

AI could never

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)" In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food". Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!" Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMS™®! ©1996 Skinner family All rights reserved" From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists". Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene. Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic

(Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes)

Blowing up a school full of girls, man. I am so angry and horrified.

I cannot stress how unusual it is in international relations for states to assassinate or kidnap foreign leaders. And Trump’s now done it twice in the past two months.

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

People INSIDE the Trump administration placed bets on a war they knew was coming, and profited.

Aside from the complete moral corruption of betting upon war, this is so unethical that it boggles the mind.

Picture from Erbil, Iraq just now. That part with the fire would the U.S. Army base.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Khamenei was one of the barriers to Iran fully developing nuclear weapons.

According to Omani negotiators, Iran was agreeing to give up its stockpile of enriched material.

But now that Trump has killed him, and assuming a hardliner takes power, it could lead to actual nuclear weapons development.

it’s probably fine that this meme is one of the top posts on every military Reddit sub right now

First salvo since the announcement is currently on its way

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

When I was little, I shouted out desperately that the presidents should have to fight their own wars, in a boxing ring. Now that I am an adult, I realize that nine year old Darryl got it exactly right.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!

Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.

Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

I don’t want a lot. I just want the men and women responsible to die in prison,
broke and rejected by society

love “I got impatient” as foreign policy doctrine for killing children

they had four years to bury this guy under the jail
