Netanyahu and Putin have always had the same goals, regional domination - imperialism. Americans will die there.

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

good to see im not the only one who thinks of those two similarly lmao

he instantly blocks anyone who even smacks of having a left-of-Democrat-orthodoxy belief, so that probably also includes blocklists

ive always thought of him as just kind of a smug dickhead in general but im sure working for the NY Times does something to a person

i remember that lmao

Lmao Dubai is where these state dept hogs and contractor bigshots are meant to feel safe. Guess you get what you asked for

"It’s also voluntary" WHY! WHY ISNT THIS A REAL COUNTRY YET ITS BEEN OVER 200 YEARS

i might send a thank you note

i dunno, i'd be pretty satisfied with it

So as I understand it, it is the policy of the United States that the President can unilaterally issue orders to kill the leader of any country at any time for any reason?

this is why the president of the united states doesnt have the legal authority to start wars to begin with

no thanks

I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he!

That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.

It’s a bad achievement but a real achievement that we somehow managed to launch a war that was unpopular on day 1 instead of unpopular in year 10. We love that shit it was like the thing we always did. It’s like Winnie the Pooh spitting out honey.

this administration wants to see as many people hurt as possible. theres no possible explanation for their policies that doesnt factor in a desire to cause maximum suffering

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

loss after loss after loss for these guys. no one should ever roll over to them again. make them earn it. they likely cannot

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

lmfao dying empire

DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign, which has secretly benefited a firm with ties to Kristi Noem.

(Published Nov. 2025)

there are people who've been making the argument for a couple decades that a US military invasion of Iran could not succeed and this was with the assumption of neutral-to-competent American leadership, not handpicked loyalist failures

so yeah he doesnt seem all that bothered about throwing his made up money around, especially when hes paying in Tesla stocks

semi-related, Musk's net worth is tied to this massively overvalued company lmao. which through his direct influence went from idiot nonsense about being The Future to becoming niche. if the stock market was real Tesla would be on the way out.

One of the biggest problems with having a perpetual imperialist war machine is that "our leaders lied us into a war again" should be considered a crime that permanently ends the freedom of everyone involved but instead ends up just being background noise.

which of course blew up in his face bc he doesnt actually know anything about programming or engineering or actually running a company, so he made a huge fool of himself and looked like a fraud in front of the entire world, but at the end of it Twitter was still permanently ruined.

all his money is made up anyway. his net worth is tied up inextricably in the value of companies that couldnt produce 20% of their purported value if you gave them 100 years.

it was very clear he wanted Twitter gone the same way as Gawker but thought it'd be fun to make it a little online fief.
