❗️Zelenskyy called for the confiscation of tankers from Russia’s “shadow fleet” and welcomed “Belgium’s decisive actions against Moscow’s floating treasury”

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

Trump’s response is the lone dot out in the Pacific, west of Central America.

Well, maybe just one little war.
It’s wafer thin.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Trump campaigned on: “I’ll end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office.”

Now he’s like a bored 4-year-old playing Army Men on the living-room rug...while the maid checks whether the prime rib is done.

But...we’ve got a drunk running the “Department of War.” At least there's that. 😑

I suspect this will be the end of John Oliver’s show on HBO.

People acting like CBS in 2026 bending a knee to Trump is new forget that CBS in the ‘60s canceled “The Smothers Brothers” because Nixon didn’t like their criticism of the Vietnam War.

Right-wingers are always whining about George Soros this and that, but as of today, Elon Musk had 104 times Soros's wealth, and spent more money to sway the 2024 election than anyone has ever spent on any election in the history of the world. So all those Gomers can fuck right off.

Donald Trump is the biggest threat to US national security.

Laws should be passed that invalidate presidential candidates who can not pass a security clearance, or have been convicted of a felony.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

No, because we don’t have any working battleships.
If we did, they might try it.
