THE GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN CAUCUS IS BACK, MOTHERFUCKERS

Hey Shrek, sounds rough. Here’s the cure: quit the Senate and move to Israel, where you can be 100% devoted to it 24/7. Everybody wins!

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic. By Jeffrey Goldberg

Never Forget #VeternsDay

From a Bluesky post on which the author chose to disable quote-tweets (fair enough, and I wouldn't quote it if I weren't complimenting it: "Instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters.""

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

It gives “St Venom” vibes

the ‘eye’ reflections in that first image are absolutely HAUNTING

people bitch about woke media but if TOS was on today they would go to a thinly-veiled MAGA planet where the locals worshipped guns and then kirk would hit the orange dictator with a two-fisted karate chop before giving a lecture about how science is real and violence is bad

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

"The golden age of jerks" (sound on)

'Disgusting' in image form.

It’s honestly kind of shocking we haven’t had one of these yet.

Good God

We’re watching Joyce Carol Oates slowly torture a Boer to death in real-time

"Working class Russians" are hooting and hollering racial slurs against Ukrainians and laughing at their civilians being hunted for sport in drone footage posted to RU language social media every single day

This vulgar Marxist BS that the "working class" of both countries could just get along is BS

Who started that pointless war?

Who is the war being waged against?

Should the people in the country under attack just lie down, be conquered, and die because fighting back would be too "pro war" for you?

Why do you think they should give your opinion on what happens to their country any weight?

Yes. There was no victory to be had. I never said as much. But the political pain was just beginning to be felt. Trump was pressing to kill the filibuster. Make them do that. It’s not a victory but it’s a sword up for grabs.

well at least Kim Davis is having a shitty day

the secret is that its all of those thing

Finkelstein is one of those guys who thought wokeness had gone too far when it came for his own sexism, so now he pals around with fascists under the thinnest possible veneer of “anti-Israel” critique
