It is also very funny to imagine that DHS serves any real legitimate national security function

Assassinating the head of state of a country of 90 million people seems like an especially ominous red line to have crossed but what do I know, I'm just a jerk with internet access

If there's a hell Khamenei is there. If there's a hell the people who started this war by massacring a school full of children will join him there.

"I'm too busy to think much about her" is truly the greatest endorsement ever given by a former employer

Last April, she went to work for Women for Gun Rights as the director of strategic communications, but lasted only three months.

β€œShe didn’t have the bandwidth,” said the group’s founder, Ms. Muller, who is under a nondisclosure agreement and declined to elaborate, except to say, β€œI’m too busy to think much about her.”

Lol the nyt article on Kash Patel's girlfriend is full of some incredible gems, including that she couldn't even hold down a fake job with a fake gun rights organization

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

It is very easy to achieve specific military goals--bomb this, destroy that--but any talk of regime change immediately makes this an explicit political project doomed to fail in the long run. The Bush administration failed disastrously, and it was full of *competent* evil people

Putting aside the obvious illegality and immorality of whatever these dipshits are doing at the moment, brass tacks: even if they had a plan--and there is no plan--this is an administration that has bungled the most basic functions of government for more than a year. They will fuck this up, royally

I went through my PhD program alongside an Air Force officer who was among the most thoughtful (and undoubtedly patriotic) people I'd met in grad school, and I just have to assume people like him are no longer welcome in the military

tbh I'd never heard of a plott. Markings and body type do look similar though I think he's a good bit leaner. He's a mutt but we suspect he maybe has pit and whippet in there

Granted, I'm just a jerk living in a deep red that would be already be hyper fascist if only our aspirational fascists weren't so lazy and incompetent, but from my perspective, nobody cares, really

Somehow the NYT is still talking about the "stand up" thing from the SOTU and I think in order to read it as anything more than am absurd throwaway moment you have to believe that the average person watching the SOTU is remarkably stupid and gullible
