It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

So Trump gets his FIFA Peace Prize 1100-ish EST 5 December 2025. I assume there's an "office pool" somewhere for when his "Department of War" drops its first bombs on mainland Venezuela. What's the buy-in for the 1030 EST December slot? Please advise.
this shit is just beyond parody, man

#FIFA pressured European #football clubs to pay outstanding transfer fees to russian clubs despite sanctions, risking legal violations.

An investigation found FIFA ruled in favour of payments in 13 cases, threatening bans if unpaid.
FIFA ordered European football clubs to ignore Russia sanctions, investigation finds
Football clubs are forced to pay outstanding transfer fees even if doing so runs the risk of violating banking restrictions and sanctions against Russia.

listen

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

TBF to #SCOTUS, given that "partisan" gerrymandering is permitted, even though "racial" gerrymandering is not, now that the MAGA/GOP ideology has been boiled down to a 14-word salad, the two are are pretty much indistinguishable.

If it's not *a* war crime, it is *80-plus* (and counting) murders.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

And this is why converting health insurance companies from "non-profit" to "for profit" was a really, really bad idea.
It made healthcare in the U.S. more expensive, less efficient, and less effective ... but "profitable" by roughly (at this point) $25 billion a year.

Stair, Sill & Window
If you meet someone coming down as you are climbing up this tightly winding staircase in a bell tower, you can step into this window sill to let them pass. It's just polite.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.

I mean, if Dönitz could reject Hitler's order to kill Allied survivors in the water, that pretty much removes any excuse a US Navy admiral could offer.
