Reader, they are for creeps.

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

“OK, well trans people do exist in society, but I respect your right to your beliefs so much I’m willing to move you out of society for as long as you hold those beliefs. What? You thought we should’ve moved them out? Why? These aren’t THEIR beliefs.”

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

19 year old freshman just wants to go home for Thanksgiving to see her family, she gets deported to Honduras.

Former President of Honduras who’s serving 45 years in prison for drug trafficking?

He gets a full presidential pardon.

Both are Honduran. Only one is a criminal.

Neither is particularly likely compared to "this guy was cracked by trauma and then told he or some of his friends were going to be deported, and he broke"
What's more logical?

That the CIA directed one of its assets to perform the perfect false flag?

Or

That a jihadist played the long game by working with the CIA in Afghanistan to gain legal access to the country and then travel 3,000 miles to enact his plan of attacking National Guard soldiers?

~20 years from now we're all going to hear a teenager say "I was born in the wrong generation, I'm jealous of everyone who got to live through the 2020s" and I think we should promise each other that when that day comes, we'll try not to throw this person directly into the sun

Also, Hegseth is coming for Sen. Mark Kelly because he reminded troops that they have a duty not to commit crimes *like this one*

Making an appropriately big deal out of this blunts that attack and demonstrates the need for what Kelly and company did.

Well, went to Urgent Care today instead of work, because of what I thought was a recurring, but minor, but keeps me from working, thing. Turned into a "they wouldn't let me walk, they made me wait for an ambulance to transit to the ER 1 mile away" thing, and even tho im doing good mostly on my 1/

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

just a reminder that the current best explanation for why this was necessarily or desirable is that the President wanted to see some video of it
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

clarifying to point out that, *were we at war*, what the Secretary of Defense and every single culpable human person in the chain of command beneath him did would have been, straightforwardly, a war crime; having not been at war it is *murder*

Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Old Polish joke; two old friends meet for the first time in a while and stop to chat. "How's your year been?" asks the first. The second one shrugs. "Oh, you know" he says, "about average. Worse than last year, better than the next."
2025 actually did suck. i know we've all said this about a lot of previous years but this one was quite bad actually
