Pakistan has always been a terrorist state, founded on religious apartheid.

If the US had really wanted to win in Afghanistan, they should have assassinated all members of the ISI

"He's surrounded himself with fascist bootlickers the right way"

It's criminal that Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" has never been adapted to a movie or television.

Asimov's goofy people and robots were clunky, but he really is the philosophical father of speculative science fiction pertaining to AI. His influence is everywhere

Is this sarcasm?

Cuz I'm pretty sure Ezra Klein is working on that as we speak ...

My son and I watched it last week.

I was impressed with the special effects considering the time period which it was released. Jonathan Pryce was amazing, as was Jason Robards, the boys and Pam Grier.

The book was better

Framing and repetition ad nauseum are working very well for the right, as are turning complex ideologies 21 syllable words that sheep bleed over and over

It figures.

Pakistan is a terrorist state.

Soon they will also be building an air base in the northwest

He's figuring out that the right does not consider Jewish people white.

He, like Candice owens, are incredibly useless morons who don't believe that the right is racist until it hits them directly in the face

Bailouts for fascists but not American workers.

How is that America First?

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 3d

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.

A 90-second crash course in Trump's betrayal of American soy farmers

Here’s the geopolitical beans.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Yes, complaint is all the keyboard warriors have.

It's the illusion of actually doing something.

Democracy goes up in flames, but at least some people said mean things on social media.

Meanwhile, some of us have set up networks and are protecting innocents.

But we're not doing anything, right?
