Letting Fetterman score clean dunks like this is a threat to national security

I would argue it’s not regime change if they can keep using the same monogrammed cufflinks

It's kind of wild how driving the speed limit feels like an act of resistance against car culture

look if you have a way of conducting international trade that's more efficient than the U.S. military escorting every single ship in the sea to its destination i'd love to hear it

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

lmao just remembered Bush 2000 ran against 'nation-building.' My whole goddamn life has been Republicans pinky swearing they won't start any wars unlike those feckless and weak bleeding heart Democrats. And news anchors, Op/Ed Pages, dumbshit guppy swing voters eat it up.

Pentagon offers no evidence to support claim it attacked Iran in defense The Trump administration’s effort to construct a case for war after shots started flying has few historical parallels.

The US, as a whole, is more anti-war than at any time in my lifetime. That there isn't a party you can reliably count on to oppose war on principle is one of the most deflating aspects of American politics. These fucking chickenhawks are willing to destroy everything to satisfy their bloodlust.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

American political leadership is utterly captured by bipartisan commitment to military adventurism abroad and the police state at home. Example ad infinitum.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

Today it was snowballs. Tomorrow, someone could paint a black circle on the side of a mountain, causing our officers to drive the train into the mountain, turning the train into an accordian that plays a sad little tune indicating that the officer has been seriously injured

This picture really speaks volumes about the sheer glee that Republicans take in Trump permitting them to act out their worst, most anti-social impulses.

This is who they have always been, thy were simply waiting for permission. Don’t believe a single mea culpa after he’s gone

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.
