If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

If the President of the United States can assemble all of his commanding officers and describe his plans for prosecuting a military conflict against US cities without drawing even an ATTEMPT to impeach him under the Constitution’s explicit definition of treason, the legislature are all oathbreakers.

If you're going to moralize about budget demands, then your demands must include (1) restore USAID (2) fire RFK Jr (3) close the concentration camps.

If not, then we're all in the realm of pragmatic politics, and "prioritizing Republican voters" is the path to everything getting worse for everyone.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.

I have gotten in hot water for using the term "failed state" to describe the US as there are historical conditions that have to be met for the term to be accurate, so let's just say we're in the on-deck circle

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the β€œVote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

Nothing Mamdani did is untowardβ€”unless one is operating under a worldview that views both racial hierarchy and "college crimes" as issues befitting both breathless coverage and Deep Throat-level secrecy regarding sourcing.

That is, if you are the New York Times.
