@JoyceCarolOates X.com speaking as glibly as Beavis & Butthead. does T***p even grasp the profound significance of what he has set in motion in the Middle East? this person whose most essential self is riding in a golf cart fatly, cheating at the profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf when he assumes no one is looking.

if “for sale, baby shoes, never worn” are the saddest six words, then “riding in a golf cart fatly” is the opposite of that

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

Hillary Clinton finding out Lauren Boebert is posting photos of her testimony: "If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. this is just typical behavior... We all are abiding by the same rules."

Boebert: "I... I will take that down."

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

AWOO!!!!

I think this young woman might actually BE Monet!

In "fairness," it does come from a fairly accurate read of the electorate.

"Authoritarianism but I get to live in Star Trek off the backs of an oppressed low wage migrant class we can tyrannize at will" is basically what the 2024 election said people wanted.

The Labour Party decided to convince itself this campaign that she was someone she wasn't so badly that they convinced themselves that this living room marked her out as abnormal

"we should be alarmed about the destructive threat of nuclear bombs in the hands of unconstrained strongmen backed by religious fanatics — whether that’s in Tehran, Jerusalem, or Washington."

How far will Donald Trump go to make us stop talking about him being a pedophile?

How I feel whenever someone tried to recreate the picture:

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

every statement from schumer is like the villager in zelda who’s 300 feet away from an evil towering castle going “ganon? never heard of him. boy I wish someone would round up 10 chickens to put back in my coop”

CENTCOM is eternal

Good morning!

So DoD is like “no we want Cyberdyne”

Let’s say for arguments sake that all goes well (I’m praying for that) and there is a counter revolution in Iran
Do you really think that this administration and the current administration in Israel will tolerate a leftist government that is democratically elected and takes the national resources?

I'm hearing reports the boys will be back by Christmas.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.

The year is 2055. Benjamin Netanyahu is in his 47th year as Prime Minister of the Only Democracy in the Middle East (TM). The US and Israel begin draining the atmosphere of oxygen to send to Elon Musk's colony of billionaires on Mars. "Israel has the right to defend itself," says President Barron.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

I don’t think that’s it at all. They recognize that there’s a possibility that these strikes more or less work out and that it’s less than ideal to be perceived as defending Iran not long after they murdered thousands of protestors.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.
