Gabbard actually has nearly flawless radar for 'what leader is killing the most Muslims in the world right now?' and will always be there to support them. Assad, then Netanyahu, now Trump

I want Democrats to start talking about prosecuting Kalshi and Polymarket out of existence and charging their executives for the crimes they are committing every day.

The Idi Amin bit
Garrett Morris did in
the mid-Seventies:
"...destroyed the weak part of my brain, leaving the strong part free to invade Kenya."

whenever I see a John Fetterman post, this is all I can think of

Ironically, the ostensibly iconoclastic foreign policy of Donald the Dove has led to....the absolute victory of The Blob

Hey, man, if you're not up for the job requirements of being a congressman -- if the whole "war powers" part is too much of a hassle for you -- I'm sure the people in your district can find someone else who'll do the actual work for that paycheck.

U.S. Ability to Determine What Comes Next in Iran Might Be Limited

Understatement alert

my least Marxist democratic socialist belief is that single party communist states are functionally less democratic than a well-regulated and publicly funded bourgeois democracy and believing otherwise is unbelievable cope

The problem with Dem messaging (and hear I mean “a couple of Dems”) that “I don’t object to what Trump did but how he did it” is 1) most Americans object to what he did and 2) it invites the question “so why didn’t Dems do it?”

Not to take away from it but the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was an 85 year old man with health problems at the end of his lifespan. The contingency for his death was already written out and being implemented while he was alive.

I’m no comic book scientist but if Superman lived on earth since infancy wouldn’t he get used to the yellow sun eventually? It’s fun to imagine him in his 30s trying to fly one day but just squatting up and down like a toddler who thinks they’re jumping

Is the operation bigger scale than the aborted german invasion of Britain in wwii?

There’s also the little thing that if China were gearing up for an invasion of Taiwan, it would be noticed rather quickly. “Colonel, sir, looking at today’s sat photos, China’s starting to move a bunch of stuff to their beaches across from Taiwan.” The buildup would take time and would be obvious.

I wouldn't really count "generic German threats to convoys in the eastern Atlantic" as opposed here, especially since there wasn't any real opposition from the shore towards those ships as they were disembarking

Wish people have more geographic knowledge. The Taiwan strait is at least 110 miles wide, not only that, Taiwan basically a giant volcanic island so the terrain raises up quickly, with few beaches, and the military has had decades building bunkers on mountains.

for the bajillionth time they have their own logic on their own timeline for assessing it, an opposed landing across 100 miles of open ocean is a problem no has attempted in the history of war, and while the expenditures are bad and dumb we haven't cleaned out the US munitions cupboard in a day
