Jean Paul Satire™

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Longstanding ethical and theological debates over war, the appropriate use of violence, and various approaches to justice notwithstanding:

That's not how human rights work.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

Your point is a distinction without a difference.

A better analogy might be the 'second coming': the claim is that it's imminent but it really can't be seriously considered to be.

1. it wasn't a metaphor, it was an analogy
2. it wasn't analogous to the situation
3. 47 years is not "imminent"
= misplaced condescension is actually pretty funny here

Honestly, the payoff here is when he imitates what he assumes people are reading when they read. He assumes it is about pirates.

Trump Refuses to Rule Out ‘Boots on the Ground’ in Iran: ‘I Have to Do the Right Thing’ The president said he would not make the blanket pledges on troop deployment that he claimed had been made by previous administrations.

Trump threatening "boots on the ground."
As a Canadian I don't give a shit whether Americans follow their pedophile, rapist supreme leader to their deaths.
However, Mr Carney, I will NEVER accept "Canadian Boots on The Ground." in an illegal war. Just saying. www.yahoo.com/news/article... #cdnpoli

Save all these clips for The Hague.
Prosecution GOLD.

Kaitlan Collins always remains so professional.

holy shit

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Now that they are shooting themselves I wish they were better shots.

I’m not really exhausted by 47! I’m angry at his deranged/illiterate voters/non-voters for destroying America & Civil Rights! Who’s with me? Who’ll fight to the end for Civil Rights & Every American? Tired is not a state of being. It’s a Character Trait! youtu.be/Czr0nZEeXsY?... go.bsky.app/CfFpZBp

Thanks for adding me Marcie! I’m to the point where the stupidity and insanity is energizing me instead of exhausting me; we will never quit! ✊

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Wait wait wait — Trump rescued a former advisor and a fucking TikTok star from the Middle East while thousands of our citizens are still stranded there?!?

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Jamie Raskin: ICE Director Todd Lyons said you were wrong. Why can't you admit you were wrong?

Kristi Noem: Melts and turns into a small puddle.

Oh, nothing, just a 70 year old cartoon

Totally not from current events

Donald Trump made trade threats against Spain during an Oval Office meeting with reporters and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. (ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES)

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

"None of our plans include looking after American citizens"

Save this clip for The Hague: claiming authorship of the war crimes.

Jasmine Crockett is a class act. 💙

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.
