Ok. Yes, identifiable for sure. Something looked off, so I zoomed in on DT’s face and wondered what was going on. Almost as creepy as the real versions.

That’s definitely not Trump’s face. Epstein’s eyes don’t look right to me either. Where did this picture come from? It looks like some type of weird AI picture

Agreed, but whose faces are these, and why?

He’s pleading to the better angels of the people who *want to* honor him.

Outside Dave

HEGSETH: We wore a patch on our shoulder that said ISAF -- International Security Assistance Force. And you know what the joke was? That is stood for 'I saw Americans fighting.'


COONS: Let's just make clear for the record that our military partners in Afghanistan included many who served and died

Wikipedia entry for foreign coalition forces casualties in Afghanistan by country, listed in order of losses per capita.

Canadian here. We’ll never forget the ultimate sacrifice of the 159+, the sacrifice of the 635 wounded in action, and we’ll never be the 51st state.

Respectfully, your comment treats Pence’s decisions as having been made in normal times where *of course* a government official would follow his constitutional duty. But days of such dutiful government officials in a Republican regime are long gone.

I disagree with 99.9% of what Pence did and everything he stands for, but I honestly think the cowardly way out was to “throw it back to the states” or to otherwise push the decision to someone else and go along with what the MAGA crowd was demanding. Does he need an award? No. But who does?

He came through and did the right thing when it counted. And since it was reasonable to expect the mob might try to kill him for doing the right thing, I respectfully disagree.

… this guy certainly seems to know better on both points, but is being dishonest, which I guess is actually worse than if he was just a moron.

But of course it’s totally disingenuous because we’re talking about tariffs against Mex and Can, who ARE parties to a free trade agreement (negotiated at massive expense with this same f’ing president a few years ago) and the US admin certainly isn’t acknowledging that tariffs are a tax on consumers

Current Republicans are morons, yes. But I think what he tries to say isn’t as bad as it sounds, as he twists to an argument about tariffs as a useful tool against states with whom the US does not have free trade agreements, to leverage those states to reduce their relatively higher tariffs

Agreed

Correct. While *this* video is not intended to trick anyone, and has a satire stamp, big accounts give fake stuff legitimacy. People believing “whatever they want” is a significant reason the other side is operating in a false reality where thoughts like “maybe Ukraine did start the war”, creep in.

Doing nothing is going to seem fine until it’s too late.

I sure hope the goal isn’t to have barely better standards than the other half does.

Yikes, that’s not great sourcing.

Where are the stories about the ones you *were* talking about

Note: “Diana”

My best lightning video of 2024. This slomo shot is insane. Really love how it disappates at the end

There’s room in my head to hold both of those thoughts at the same time as well.

Speaking of shut the fuck up Friday, I’ve been seeing some people say that the FBI has contacted them for questioning after seeing social media posts, and my extremely urgent advice is that you should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES talk to the Feds without a lawyer.

I think you meant to link: @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

I assumed he would just refuse to leave after 2028, with or without legal “justification”. It is nice to see some commentary on this.
