I remember when Huckabee was the aww shucks Governor of Arkansas who played in a rock band as a cute side thing running for President in 2008 and now he may literally be the Harbinger of the Apocalypse

Most successful assassination in history

I'm a classy guy Newsom you're gonna need to do more than that to get a shred of pro-Palestine kudos from me.

BDS bill in California, protect trans people, and stop persecuting homeless people and we can talk.

And I guess we know who won that debate

You can express sympathy for families who have lost people, but you do not in fact have to cede the determination of what the Nation wants to the government or the Right.

Actually though, if you're an American, you totally get to decide what US troops died for. Because you can say "not in my name".

It is really hard sometimes to keep the big picture in mind but whereas it was noteworthy that just two people were elected to Congress in 2018 who were openly and hyper critical of Israel, in 2026 it will be more than two dozen.

Honestly, the more probable scenario imo is we end up under a Christian nationalist military dictatorship that can't govern for shit in about a decade

Like even if you're totally cool with the super illegal war of aggression, right? Exercising the power to oversee a war is arguably the most solemn responsibility a US Senator possesses. And they're treating it like fucking memelords.

John Fetterman says "I think they just blew up 80 of Iran's mullahs too. Which, I mean, that was pretty great actually!"

God this fucking flippancy about killing people just makes me sick. This supposed to be the US's deliberative body and they're out here trying to be funny about mass death.

We're unleashing Chiang

Desperate people (or rather, factions supporting the most radical option among desperate people who want access to the resources to carry out their desired aims) don't have a lot of options, I guess

It's unfortunately the career path I signed up for. I'm sure I couldn't do half of what you do in your day-to-day work.

There are only so many ways to skin a cat and I hate that I've read enough colonial history that I know them all

Khalifa Haftar may be the most destructive, but Pahlavists are definitely the most annoying product of a CIA stipend mostly spent in northern Virginia

The irony that the Houthis are arguably the party most invested in not pissing off Saudi Arabia in this conflict should not be lost on folks

Keep launchers further away from Israel proper. And they're pretty engaged up in Azerbaijan. But yeah, it's kinda weird.

By "unleash Chiang" do you mean set up a drug operation in a poorly governed border region that produces much of the world's heroin?

KHive remains undefeated

Fuck man did they Steve Kornacki the fucking regional war?

Wow yeah this finally got me to block Yair

When protests took off against Qaddafi in Feb 2011, masters students were told they would get their degree immediately if they joined pro-Qaddafi demonstrations.

Also eugenics and racial segregation wow these ideologies of purity really have an elective affinity huh

Iconic cereal and pro-circumcision movement incoming

A deeper cut than the Community meme but couldn't stop thinking about it
